Info +
Although very slightly less effective than neem oil, black cumin oil is perfectly suited to the fight against lice and can therefore be used in exactly the same conditions as an anti-lice oil. We apply it pure on the whole head, we leave it on overnight, we comb with an anti-lice comb and then we do a classic shampoo behind.
Examples of uses of black cumin vegetable oil
Against mycoses
To fight against interdigital mycosis or any other bacterial invasion on the skin, black cumin oil will do wonders. Simply apply one drop between clean, dry toes. And if you want to reinforce the action, add a drop of laurel essential oil to the black cumin oil.
For dry, irritated or mature skin
The fatty acids it contains will deeply nourish the skin. As for its anti-inflammatory action, it will be able to soothe irritation and redness. In addition, its antioxidant property protects cells from free radicals to prevent their degradation, and prevent the formation of wrinkles and slackening of the skin. Finally, Nigella oil has an action on the formation of collagen as well as on the healing process.
For acne-prone skin
Black cumin vegetable oil contains a unique active ingredient with powerful anti-infective properties capable of acting against fungi and bacteria: thymoquinone. This molecule will cleanse the skin and effectively fight against acne problems. The anti-inflammatory properties mentioned above and healing properties will both calm the damaged skin but also improve the appearance of the skin.
Against seasonal allergies
If you suffer from hay fever (allergy to pollens) or allergy to dust or animals, consider the antiallergic properties of black seed oil taken orally. According to therapists, it is sufficient to ingest 1 to 2 teaspoons per day (be careful, no more!), 15 days before the arrival of pollen.
