Shahi Jeera (Black cumin seed)

English Name: Black cumin seed
Family name: Shahi Jeera

An annual herbaceous plant, Black cumin seed (Nigella sativa) is believed to be indigenous to the Mediterranean region but has been cultivated into other parts of the world including Saudi Arabia, northern Africa and parts of Asia.

Tiny and hairy, being no more than 3mm in length, Black cumin seed originates from the common fennel flower plant (Nigella sativa) of the buttercup (Ranunculaceae) family. Nigella sativa is sometimes mistakenly confused with the fennel herb plant (Foeniculum vulgare).

The plant has finely divided foliage and pale bluish purple or white flowers. The flowers grow terminally on its branches while the leaves grow opposite each other in pairs, on either side of the stem. Its lower leaves are small and petiole, and the upper leaves are long (6-10cm). The stalk of the plant reaches a height of twelve to eighteen inches as its fruit, the Black cumin seed, matures.

Nigella sativa reproduces with itself and forms a fruit capsule which consists of many white trigonal seeds. Once the fruit capsule has matured, it opens up and the seeds contained within are exposed to the air, becoming black in color (Black cumin seeds).

Nigella sativa and its Black cumin seed are known by other names, varying between places. Some call it black caraway, others call it black cumin (Kalonji), or even coriander seeds. In English, the Nigella sativa plant is commonly referred to as "Love in a Mist". Nevertheless, this is Nigella sativa, which has been known and used from ancient times and is also known in Persian as Shonaiz.

The most pertinent point to be made about Black cumin seed is that it should be regarded as part of an overall holistic approach to health and ideally should be incorporated into one's everyday lifestyle. In this way, the many nutritional and healing properties contained in the seed can help build the body's immune system over time, supplying it with the optimum resources it needs to help prevent and fight illness.

History

Black cumin (nigella sativa) was discovered in Tutankhamen's tomb, implying that it played an important role in ancient Egyptian practices. Although its exact role in Egyptian culture is not known, we do know that items entombed with a king were carefully selected to assist him in the afterlife. The earliest written reference to Black cumin seed is found in the book of Isaiah in the old testament. Isaiah contrasts the reaping of black cumin with wheat: for the black cumin is not threshed with a threshing sledge, nor is a cart wheel rolled over the cumin, but the black cumin is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod. (Isaiah 28:25,27 nkjv). Easton's bible dictionary clarifies that the Hebrew word for black cumin, ketsah, refers to without doubt the nigella sativa, a small annual of the order Ranunculaceae which grows wild in the dioscoredes, a Greek physician of the 1st century, recorded that Black cumin seeds were taken to treat headaches, nasal congestion, toothache, and intestinal worms. they were also used, he reported, as a diuretic to promote menstruation and increase milk production. the Muslim scholar al-biruni (973-1048), who composed a treatise on the early origins of Indian and Chinese drugs, mentions that the Black cumin seed is a kind of grain called alwanak in the sigzi dialect. later, this was confirmed by suhar bakht who explained it to be habb-i-sajzi (viz. sigzi grains). this reference to Black cumin seed as grains points to the seed's possible nutritional use during the tenth and eleventh centuries. in the Greco Arab/Unani Tibb system of medicine, which originated from Hippocrates, his contemporary galen and Ibn Sina, Black cumin seed has been regarded as a valuable remedy in hepatic and digestive disorders and has been described as a stimulant in a variety of conditions, ascribed to an imbalance of cold humors. Ibn Sina (980-1037), most famous for his volumes called the canon of medicine, regarded by many as the most famous book in the history of medicine, east or west, refers to Black cumin seed as the seed that stimulates the body's energy and helps recovery from fatigue or dispiritedness. Black cumin seed is also included in the list of natural drugs of al-Tibb al-n abawi, and, according to tradition, "hold onto the use of the Black cumin seed for in it is healing for all illnesses except death" (Sahih Bukhari vol 7 bk 71 #592).
