Nigella sativa is an angiosperm native to southeast asia. the plant is used mainly as a spice in candies and liquors.
that is nigella sativa on the left and another nigella spp. on the right.
Isaiah 28:25-27
25When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the ketsah, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place? 26For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. *n26.1 27For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the ketsah; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the ketsah with a rod.
Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that this seed oil is the perfect health remedy and cure for disease. he claimed to have divine inspiration from allah. it is listed in 'Tibb-e-Nabavi', medicine of the prophet.
AND NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF!!!
Nigella sativa seed has opioid action. in a laboratory the seed oil suppressed nociceptive response in the hot-plate test, tail-pinch test, acetic acid-induced writhing test and in the early phase of the formalin test in rats. the activity as blocked by narcan.
yes, nigella sativa seed oil is REVERSIBLE BY NARCAN!!! very important.
the seed oil is cross tolerant with morphine, but apparently not the other way around.
the polyphenols have some analgesic activity, but it is still poorly understood. most likely the analgesia from the polyphenols is not from activity on the opioid receptor sites. the opioid activity comes from thymoquinone.
last night i took the seed oil for the first time. ingested a bit more than a tablespoon. about 30-45 min after eating the oil, my stomach was in very minor discomfort and i was experiencing opioid effects similar to kratom, but less complex. the addition of a tea made of three lanced and partly dried poppy pod was made. a tea of three
unlanced pods from the plants i grew(remember alk content will vary in poppy pod) is usually a bit short of a full nod. with the seed oil, i used a much lower dose(taking into consideration the pods were lanced and much morphine was lost to collecting opium), and achieved a round trip ticket to nodland.
all in all, THIS STUFF IS GOOD! pretty easy to find, and works wonders as an opiate augmentation. i will give more reports of my use of the seed oil as an intoxicant on its own and as augmentation for oxycontin and kratom.
