This is certainly a “piece de resistance” essay describing all the endless medicinal qualities of these two marvelous superfoods ! Much thanks, dear writer!
Great information! I used the oil off & on as it was recommended to be helpful during the scamdemic. I will now incorporate on a regular basis along with more Manuka honey. Thank you.
Beware of honey. Most of it, including "local,"which you can hardly ever ascertain, comes from plastic combs and as such, as toxic per se. In addition to that, no matter what the label says, store-bought honey usually contains sugar water, which is basically the same type of forgery as the one prevalent in the case of about 85% of store-bought olive oil.
Moreover, Matt is absolutely correct about "what's in honey" these days. Anything and everything can pose danger:
In my book, "antiviral" means that the concoction (presumably) protects the body, which reduces exosomal shedding. Nonetheless, although I have never seen any evidence of "viral transmission," so I cannot subscribe to Virology, the end result is the same.
Last fall, preparing to make an Indian chutney which wanted 'kalonji'--I discovered that kalonji was just the seeds of the nigella sativa which I regularly grow. This spring I had a lovely self-sown row of nigella--and have been harvesting the seed-pods. From my outsider's point of view, noticing the research emphasis on just the thymoquinone element of the seed, I wonder whether that focus
may 'miss the boat'--perhaps the seed oil's beneficial properties are lessened if the whole seed is not taken. I believe a similar situation exists with use of artemisinin (more benefit from the whole plant rather than simply the extracted chemical). Drives me right back to Genesis 9:3 (and as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything [RSV])
a late friend had bad healing wounds, went to the local wound center for 6 weeks with no result, and when the term ran out, one of the nurses told her to use honey. In a few days the wounds healed. Why don't they do that to begin with, and let this old lady run around in pain? Health care? No sick make!
Au Moyen-Orient, on dit que : “Seule la mort est plus forte que la nigelle.”
Si vous avez des doutes sur le miel, vous pouvez utiliser les graines broyées en infusion, avec du sirop d’érable (je prêche pour ma paroisse car je vis au pays de l’érable) ou tel quel (plutôt amer…). Les graines et l’huile sont faciles à trouver.
In the Middle East, it is said that: "Only death is stronger than nigella."
If you have any doubts about honey, you can use the crushed seeds as an infusion, with maple syrup (I preach for my parish because I live in the land of maple) or as is (rather bitter...). Seeds and oil are easy to find.
I have looked at various honeys under the scope. i do eat a lot too but choose based on what i have seen.
There has been debate about how much tech the bees are gathering up today and its worthy of further study.
Good research , thanks
Thank you for posting. I am chewing on these seeds for about a month now. My sister in Poland recommended it for anything but death.
LOL!
