| An Assyrian Herbal book
explains Black Seed (Blackseed)
as a remedy internally
for stomach problems and externally for eyes, ears mouth and many skin
problems, e.g. itching,
rashes, sores, and herpes. Used by Cleopatra and Nefertetes for its health and beauty giving qualities. Found in Tutankhamen’s tomb ( only the highest quality items were placed in the tomb where they were meant to help in the afterlife) Used by all Naturopathic authors of Greek and Roman Antiquity Hippocrates (5th century B.C.). In the first century it was used extensively by Pliny the elder in his "Naturalis Historia" (Natural History). His list of remedies include the treatment of snakebites and scorpion stings, calosites, old tumors, abscesses, and skin rashes. A series of remedies against colds and inflammations in the area of the head are recommended which appeared almost unchanged in the large German medicinal plant encyclopedias of the 16th to 18th centuries. A short time later it was used by the Greek physician Dioscoredes, in his 5-volume pharmacology "De Materia Medica" which has was used as a reference for healing with herbs into the Middle Age. |
