The medicinal virtues of the nigella seed according to Mahboubi Moussaoui:

Here is a new collection that brings together a list of natural products with which it is possible to take care of the whole body, from head to toe. Some of these products are less known than others by the general public, this is an opportunity to discover them and take advantage of their beneficial properties.

The return to nature, whether from a cosmetic or medical point of view, reveals the existence of plants that were once highly appreciated by ancient civilizations. This is particularly the case of Nigella sativa, one of the many varieties of nigella.

If in Europe, it was somewhat forgotten, on the other hand, in the Arab-Muslim community it has always been considered the queen of medicinal plants.

Today, two factors jointly propel it to the forefront of the scene, there is on the one hand this famous return to nature caused by a real awareness of the side and undesirable effects of chemical products and on the other, the growing interest in him from members of the Arab-Muslim community.

It is actually the seed of Nigella Sativa which is used in herbal medicine, in powder, or in oil. Its medicinal properties have been proven many times throughout history and confirmed by recent laboratory analyses.
