Black seed oil is a powerful natural remedy that, when used correctly, can promote healthy skin, hair, and overall well-being.

How to Use Black Seed Oil Topically

Black seed oil can be applied directly to the skin and hair to benefit from its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and moisturising properties. Here’s how to use it effectively:

1. For Skin Health (Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis, Dry Skin)

• Direct Application: Apply a few drops of black seed oil to the affected area and massage gently. Use once or twice daily.
• Dilution (for Sensitive Skin): Mix with a carrier oil (e.g., coconut, almond, or jojoba oil) in a 1:1 ratio before applying.
• Face Mask: Mix black seed oil with honey or yogurt, apply for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

2. For Hair Growth and Scalp Health

• Scalp Massage: Mix a few drops of black seed oil with coconut or castor oil, massage into the scalp, and leave it on for at least 30 minutes before washing.
• Hair Mask: Combine black seed oil with aloe vera or yogurt, apply to hair, and leave for 20-30 minutes before rinsing.
• Leave-in Treatment: Apply a few drops to damp hair to reduce frizz and add shine.

3. For Joint and Muscle Pain

• Warm the oil slightly and massage it into sore areas for relief.
• Mix with essential oils like peppermint or eucalyptus for added benefits.

4. For Wound Healing and Fungal Infections

• Apply a small amount directly to minor cuts, burns, or fungal infections.
• Use 1-2 times daily until healed.

Precautions

• Avoid applying near the eyes or on open wounds.
•  Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for allergic reactions.
•  During pregnancy topical application is considered safe.
•  However oral consumption of black seed oil is not recommended during pregnancy
