"I think anyone reading this review is probably already aware of the healthful benefit claims of taking black seed oil so I won't cover the basics but do want to add that as far as I know it is 500% stronger at raising glutathione levels than anything other than intravenous glutathione drip or slow-push.

I am very pleased with the artisan cold-pressed black seed oil I received from Amazing Herbs. I often feel that manufacturers are dishonest in their labeling but not so with Amazing Herbs. I felt the oil was solvent-free and I often taste solvents in other supposedly solvent-free oils by other manufacturers. Also this is artisan cold pressed and you can taste the quality. Also, mine is very fresh and definitely not rancid.

This very clean oil absorbs very well. You can apply to skin and it will absorb and make your skin silky smooth.

Why not add more pleasure to your life by optimizing how you get this black seed oil into your body?

Some oils coming from the Middle East are extracted with heat and hexane, a petrolium by-product. Always use a product that is labeled as 100%, cold-pressed, solvent free, and packed and sealed by machine."

"I rarely, if ever write reviews because (1) I’m too lazy and (2) I never feel that strongly about anything, BUT today I have to spread The Gospel of Black Seed Oil (forgive me Jesus). I initially tried this because of painful stiffness in my left knee (it’s been arthritic since I was 11), I’m now a lady of a certain age ????, so I’ve had this issue for a while, and I have horrrrible sleeping habits (addicted to social media, smartphone and tablet *sigh*). Of course, I read what everyone was saying that Black Seed Oil cured everything other than Death, and this brand was recommended in a Facebook group I was in (shout out to Weightloss for Melanated Beauties!)????Soooooo...I tried the oil!????????????????????????The taste, the taste, the taste...Sweet Baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the donkey, the stable, the manger and all the other animals!!! It was indescribably disgusting! It really was! It made me shudder and gag! But, it made me sleep like a baby, such a deep and restful sleep...I literally jumped out of bed alert and with so much energy the following morning and I swear, I kid you not, the stiffness in my left knee was gone. I could bend it without pain (Thank you Jesus!)???????? So I manned up when it came to the taste, because the benefits was worth it. By the 3rd or 4th day, there was such a feeling of wellness in my body, yes I felt a profound feeling of wellness (it was remarkable to me), and I was energetic. I still loathed the abominable taste, but again the benefits. I just made sure I chased the taste out my mouth with a carbonated beverage, or IMMEDIATELY vigorously brushing my teeth when I took a quick shot of it in the morning, just a mouthful. Oh! Did I mention the burps? I tasted it again my friends!????????????Again...the benefits...plus it also helped my bladder issues. It’s a cure all for everything????????but????????death????????people!????BTW, drinking ALOT of water gets rid of the burps. So near the end of the second bottle, I was doing my morning mouthful, when I gagged it right back up. It tasted worst the second time and some got on my lips, I said no, enough is enough! I came back on Amazon and saw that it also came in gel tabs, I purchased those so quickly my head spun!???? So the thing of it is, for me, the gel tabs do not give me that extra pep in my step or that feeling of wellness, but my skin is so soft. It’s not dry, damaged and looking like crepe paper. It’s glowing, coco brown and healthy looking. I’ll take whatever benefits it provides, as long as I don’t have to deal with that taste. *shudder*

I also recommended Black Seed Oil to my husband, as he suffers from Fibromyalgia. He doesn’t take the recommend dosage as he doesn’t like consuming too many pills, but he does say that it helps with the pain he suffers in the morning.

Seriously, I do love this product and I would encourage everyone to take it. It really does work for me and I’ll let you know if it did anything for my HBP and good cholesterol after my next Dr.’s visit.????"
