Re: Black seed and blood pressure medication question.......

Hey Corey!

There is no information on those particular drugs compared to nigella sativa. There are hundreds of websites that will tell you there are no known side effects or interactions unless you are pregnant? Black seed or Nigella sativa does become toxic with large dosages over 25 grams but no body in their right mind would do that.

You bought capsules? From where? 1 capsule is equal to 1/4 teaspoon of oil. So in order to get 1 teaspoon you need 4 capsules. Now the problem with capsules is most all companies do not produce the capsules theirself, they purchase them from an outside company such as The kitchen Doctor, who I hate, Blessed Sunnah, which I hate and Amazing Herbs. The blessed seed also purchases the capsules from an outside company.

So what is the harm? The harm is you do not know what you are getting and certainly not the good quality oil that is being promoted. Now most directions come with the bottles state to take with food which is an outright lie. These capsules must be taken on an empty stomach and when taking that many capsules on an empty stomach, it will cause some stomach distress.

The black seeds themself need to be heated first. Now a way to get around all of this is to open the capsules and pour the oil on some honey and give it to her that way or in some juice.

I have a wonderful recipe for energizing honey if I could send that to you and you can give her some of that and just plain don't tell her it is to lower her bp. In the end can't force people to take what they don't believe in. Sorry.
