I have severe Psoriatic Arthritis, Psoriasis, Type 2 Diabetes and a ton of inflammation. In studies Black Seed Oil showed great improvement for people with Glucose control, some minor weight loss, a reduction in pain scores and a reduction in inflammation. I've only been taking it 22 days, that's not nearly enough time to assess whether I will see improvements in with my health issues. This oil is highly concentrated & has a very strong, unpleasant taste. Not because it's bad, but because Cumin is mostly enjoyed in tiny amounts along side other spices. I'm using this strictly for medicinal purposes, so flavor is not my concern. After 12 weeks I should have something of substance to report. I keep it in the fridge and like many oils it becomes thicker, which is normal & sometimes little blobs form, also normal, no need to throw it out in a panic. I also use the dropper to measure it out into a large spoon. I take a deep breathe, quickly place it into my mouth and only swallow it while sipping iced coffee through a straw. This way the iced coffee rinses it down quickly, otherwise this intense spiciness can burn your throat. I DO NOT recommend adding it to a drink, it doesn't make it better at all! Place it in your mouth & hold it there while you simultaneously chase it with a cold drink, using a straw is the easiest way. Excellent Thymoquinone content, I highly recommend this product.
