Die Samen der unter dem botanischen Namen *Nigella sativa* bekannten Pflanze – gemeinhin als Schwarzkümmel bezeichnet – stehen seit Jahrhunderten im Fokus sowohl traditioneller Heiler als auch moderner Wissenschaftler. Das daraus gewonnene Öl, angereichert mit bioaktiven Verbindungen, hat Anerkennung in der funktionellen Ernährungslehre, der Phytotherapie sowie als Nahrungsergänzungsmittel zur Unterstützung vielfältiger physiologischer Prozesse gefunden. Doch werden seine gesundheitsfördernden Eigenschaften – häufig im Zusammenhang mit entzündungshemmender, immunmodulierender oder stoffwechselanregender Wirkung beschrieben – durch strenge klinische Studien bestätigt? Darüber hinaus: Welche Faktoren gilt es zu berücksichtigen, um bei innerlicher Einnahme oder äußerlicher Anwendung die gewünschten Effekte zu erzielen und gleichzeitig das Risiko unerwünschter Reaktionen zu minimieren?
Oil of black pepper
Blackberry seed oil is produced by pressing the seeds of this plant. About 40% of blackberry seeds are fat. In addition, it contains a number of compounds with specific effects, such as essential oils and starch. These substances have a beneficial effect on our health. It has a bitter taste and a root smell. It contains unsaturated fatty acids (linolen, linoleic), as well as vitamins E, biotin, beta-carotene, and microelements and oxygen.
The properties of black pepper oil
In the light of numerous studies, blackberry oil has a broad spectrum of activity and is used in the treatment of certain diseases. The main therapeutic significance here is the antioxidant activity of compounds found in large quantities in blackberry seeds and their oil derived from them. We are talking about thymoquinone, which is the main component of essential oils. This compound, in addition to its anti-anti-oxidant and anti-cancer properties, has anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects.
Negro oil has side effects
Most sources praise the effect of black pepper oil and do not indicate a significant risk from its use. Oil consumed in excess can lead to hypotension, which in turn leads to headaches, dizziness and fainting. Any medicinal product used excessively can be harmful or even life-threatening. In this case, can the oil harm us? Additional symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, urinary problems may be due to impaired kidney and liver function.
How do you use black pepper oil?
The oil can be used both externally and internally. To preserve as much of its nutritional value as possible, it should be stored in a cool place, e.g. refrigerator. Remember not to heat the oil! In the kitchen it may be used as a supplement to cold dishes and salads, and the dishes will get a characteristic, rooted flavor. We can also eat it directly, in quantities of about 1 tablespoon twice a day. However, this portion of oil is best consumed directly before meals. External use is equally popular.
