I want to share with you a remedy that a former co-worker of mine and a good friend shared with me. She was born and raised in Somalia and her father made this formula for the family to keep them healthy and stay away from pests. She still takes it almost daily and says that it keeps her healthy throughout the year.
The Cumin Seeds, or Nigella seeds as they are also called, have showed to have an effective antioxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory effect. It is often used to fight infections and strengthen the immune system, as well as helping with headaches, digestive problems, toothaches, allergies and so much more.
When you blend these seeds with garlic and honey, it is like you have miracle formula for every ailment.
Recipe:
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons of honey (liquid honey is recommended)
- 2 teaspoons of finely ground black cumin seeds/Nigella seeds
- ½ teaspoon of olive oil
Start the morning with a teaspoon of this mixture before breakfast. You can eat it from a spoon, put it in your tea or warm water.
If you are fighting cold, asthma or other respiratory problems, it will be very helpful to use it as an inhaler. Dilute half of the recipe to 1 liter of hot water. Put the mixture to a bowl, put a towel over your head to close the steam inside and breath the mixture deep into your lungs for 5-10 minutes or longer.
The oil in the black cumin seeds has a mucus resolving effect and relaxes the airways. Perfect blend for colds, asthma or other lung and sinus problems.
For overall health, this blend stabilizer the immune system. Try taking it once a day for three weeks and feel the difference.
Enjoy!
