Benefits:
· Black seed oil has anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and analgesic properties that work efficiently towards maintaining scalp health. It effectively deals with issues like dandruff and soothes skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. It also helps keep your scalp moisturized and balances the production of oils.
· One study found that when people with telogen effluvium (a condition which causes hair loss due to stress) were treated with a lotion containing kalonji oil for 3 months, their hair density and thickness increased. Additionally, inflammation associated with the condition decreased. Other research shows that applying kalonji oil can provide significant protection against hair loss induced by chemotherapy.
· Black seed oil contains Nigellone and Thymoquinone, both of which are powerful antihistamines. Antihistamines are commonly prescribed to patients with androgenic alopecia or alopecia areata, and the drugs help regrow hair to a certain extent. Using black seed oil is a safe way to reap the benefits of antihistamines for hair regrowth without having to take any medication.
