The real black cumin (Nigella sativa), called black cumin for short, comes from the oriental region. The plant has been used there as a medicinal and aromatic plant for over 2000 years. The fact that black cumin, Latin Nigella sativa, is known worldwide today is probably due to a saying by Muhammad: "Black cumin cures every disease - but does not help against death". In addition to the taste, it is above all the far-reaching health effects of black cumin that make the plant so popular. In addition to the pure seeds, the plant is also used as an oil or tea. Asthma, digestive problems, high blood pressure and many other diseases should be alleviated with it.
