How to Use
Taking Black Seed Oil Daily
How much: Take 1-2 teaspoon (5ml) daily. If you’re new to Black Seed Oil, start with ½ teaspoon for the first few days to get used to its naturally strong, peppery taste.
When: Take it morning or evening, with or without food. Traditionally it is taken in the morning, often with honey, but consistency matters more than timing.
How to take it: Take straight from the spoon or mix with:
- A teaspoon of honey
- Yoghurt, juice or a smoothie
- Salad dressings or hummus
- Warm, not boiling, water
- Finished foods after cooking
Avoid using Black Seed Oil for high-temperature cooking.
How long will a bottle last? At 5ml daily, a 100ml bottle provides around 20 servings. It will last less if you also use it on your hair or skin.
How to Use Black Seed Oil for Hair & Scalp
Pre-wash treatment: Massage a small amount into the scalp and work through the hair. Leave for 30-60 minutes, then shampoo thoroughly. Use once or twice a week.
For dry ends: Smooth 1-2 drops through the ends of damp or dry hair to help soften roughness and reduce the appearance of frizz. A little goes a long way.
How to Use Black Seed Oil on Skin
As a facial or body oil: Apply 2-3 drops to clean, slightly damp skin and gently press or massage until absorbed.
For sensitive skin: Dilute one part Black Seed Oil with two parts of a lighter carrier oil such as jojoba, sweet almond or coconut oil.
Patch test first: Apply a small amount to the inside of your elbow and wait 24 hours before wider use.
