Potential benefits of Blackseed oil
1. Anti-inflammatory effects
The active compound (thymoquinone) helps reduce inflammation, which may support:

It may help your body respond better to infections and illness, though it’s not a replacement for medical treatment.

Some people use it for:

(This lines up with your earlier question about itchy/watery eyes.)

• Lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol
