Blackseed oil usage…
Hi, I was wondering if I could get a little feedback on the usage of Blackseed oil, in a facial serum. I have read that people with cancer (Me) breast cancer, should not use Blackseed oil unless they talk to their doctor? Can I ask why? And also what’s the harm. I am not a chemist, just like making homemade products. Thanks in advance Therese

For what purpose would you use Blackseed oil in a facial serum? What benefit will it provide?

Otherwise, I wouldn’t know of any reason why someone with cancer shouldn’t eat it. Lapacho was prohibited in Switzerland because health authorities feared that patients would drink lapacho tea instead of taking their meds and undergoing chemo/radiation.Putting it on your skin is certainly safe!@Perry: It contains unsaturated fatty acids and other substances which under others help against allergies and related disorders (that’s mainly based on observations & traditional use and we have no real scientific understanding why black caraway does that and why it’s better than other comparable oils). Whether or not it works topically in this regard, I do not know but it seems likely that it may help against inflammatory related skin conditions (like any of the “healthy” oils). I can imagine that the smell of it might be disturbing in a facial product and, obviously, it gets rancid easily. Also giving it’s high cost, eating it seems like a better use for black caraway

@Therese:
I guess the real question is: Where did you read this nonsense about blackseed oil and cancer?
As you know, anyone can post anything at any time on the Internet. Best if you check credible sources of information such as: http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/nigella-sativa
