Since WHO announced COVID-19 as a pandemic, almost the entire world has gone into lockdown. Given that there has been no vaccination developed yet, and a commercial vaccine could take 12–18 months to land in the market, I thought of exploring other natural alternatives that Almighty God has created for us.

WHO Pandemic — COVID-19
The official name for pandemic disease is COVID-19 and the name of the virus causing it is SARS-CoV-2, according to WHO.
In this post, I would like to highlight the benefits of black seed, also called as Nigella Sativa. Black Seed has been shown to inhibit the growth of coronavirus ( a family of virus to which SARS-CoV-2 belongs ) in human’s body, based on a study published by Journal of Molecular Biology. Quoting the same below.
The results presented here suggest that treatment of cells with Ns (Nigella Sativa), Ah or Cs extracts prior to infection with CoV decreases the replication of the virus. — Molecular Biology Reports
There is healing in Black Cumin for all diseases except death. — Prophet Muhammad ( Sahih al-Bukhari 5688 )
Black Seed oil has been effective in treating asthma, diabetes, hypertension, immune enhancement, anti-viral, weight loss and many more.
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ), ScienceDaily and American Diabetes Association those people that have high risk for severe illness for COVID-19 include — people with chronic lung disease or moderate to sever asthma, diabetes, heart disease, immunocompromised, severe obesity( BMI ≥ 40 ) and few more.
Looking at the high-risk conditions, and the benefits of Black Seed oil, it seems that this wonderful God’s gift, deserves to be researched by scientists and doctors to establish the cure for COVID-19.
