As an ancient traditional remedy, Black Seed Oil, also known as black cumin or Nigella sativa, has proven its usefulness in treating gastronomical issues for thousands of years. Recent studies confirm the many healing properties of this small, black, crescent-shaped seed. The herb’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties have brought it to the forefront in the search for alternative treatments for H pylori, well-known bacterial infestations of the alimentary tract. [1]
H pylori are becoming increasingly difficult to treat with conventional means. It has become less likely to respond to |
conventional treatment plans. This has made the search for alternative remedies even more important and the results of research with Black Seed Oil even more significant.
What are H pylori?
Helicobacter pylori are spiral-shaped bacteria that infect the digestive tract. H Pylori can be contracted unknowingly and not display symptoms for some time. It is not unusual for children to be infected with these bacteria and not see any manifestation for years.
H pylori are believed to be contagious, though it is still unclear exactly how it is transmitted from person to person. However, researchers have observed that the bacteria seem to infect whole families or impoverished areas. So if one member of a family is diagnosed with the bacteria, the possibility increases for infestation in other members. Some suggested means of transmitting the virus may be sharing eating utensils, saliva, vomit or fecal matter, consumption of contaminated water.
However, the more time that passes before detection, the more damage the bacteria may be causing along the digestive tract. Some estimates suggest as high as 65% of adults are affected by this bacteria, and it may be responsible for many types of ulcers, earning it the nickname of the “ulcer bacteria.”
H pylori have been around for hundreds of years, making it one of the most successful pathogens in human history. It is well adapted for hiding out in the mucosal layer of the human digestive tract where, besides ulcers, it can greatly increase the chances of gastric cancer and some immune system disorders. [2]
There are a variety of ways to detect H pylori. A doctor may conduct a breath or stool test to diagnose its presence. However, for anyone who recognizes possible symptoms, there are home remedies which may alleviate the issue without expensive doctor visits or medications. Responding pro-actively may prevent more permanent damage to the digestive tract.

Black Seed Oil
Black Seed Oil continues to show its worth as a healthy alternative for treating a wide variety of illnesses. It has been used to help treat ailments from arthritis to cancer with effectiveness. And now, eradicating H pylori can be added to its long list of proven cures.
Black cumin has long been used as a spice or condiment in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern world. It’s culinary uses blend into its medicinal uses to help keep the entire alimentary tract healthy and free of invasive bacterial growth. The western world is becoming more and more aware of the benefits of this herb.
One major natural treatment option is Black Seed Oil. Also, adding certain types of honey (such as manuka) helps this traditional remedy to pack an even more powerful antibacterial punch. Studies have shown over half those using this treatment achieved complete eradication of H pylori bacteria. [3]

H Pylori Treatment with Black Seed Oil
The most common H Pylori treatments prescribed by doctors include different types of antibiotics, acid reducers, and histamine inhibitors (called "triple therapy"). You may be prescribed a dozen or more different medications in an attempt to eradicate these bacteria. However, H pylori have proved to be resistant to many doctor-prescribed antibiotics in recent years. And there is always the potential for ongoing side effects from so many medications.
There are several natural remedies which researchers have found to be effective in the treatment of the H pylori bacteria, including Black Seed Oil. In laboratory tests, N. sativa treatments have been shown to inhibit up to 100% of the bacteria’s growth within one hour. In human subjects, a four-week treatment of non-ulcer patients yielded highly favorable results, many showing Black Seed Oil to be just as effective as conventional treatments. [4]
As soon as possible symptoms appear, N. sativa can be taken without fear of side effects. Stopping the bacteria’s growth as soon as possible may prevent more severe damage, such as ulcers of the esophagus, stomach, or intestines. Please keep in mind that a higher than recommended dose does not increase the effectiveness of the herb, but may actually lessen it. About a 2 gram dose is the ideal for best results.
In the study, patients were given a 2 gram dose of black cumin oil combined with 4 grams of honey, about a teaspoon-sized dose, 3 times per day after meals. The treatment lasted 4 weeks. At the end of that time, many patients tested free of H pylori bacteria. Even patients who were not completely cured during a month’s time benefited from N. sativa’s calming, analgesic effects. [5]
There have been very few instances of negative reactions from taking N. sativa. Very important to note is the quality of black seed oil used. N. sativa should be cold pressed and packaged in a dark bottle to protect its healing properties. Improperly processing or packaging the oil could cause it to become rancid or be less effective. A bottle of Black Seed Oil has a shelf life of about 2 years and does not have to be refrigerated. [6]
