“The cure for everything except death” (black seed oil or Nigella Sativa)

Black seed oil (Nigella Sativa) is often said to be “the cure for everything but/except death.”
   
“Abu Hurayra quoted Muhammad saying: ‘Utilize the black seed for without a doubt, it is a cure for all sicknesses aside from death.’ (Hadith Al-Bukhari 7:591)” was printed in the Wikipedia article “Prophetic medicine.” “1620 T. SHELTON tr. Cervantes’ Don Quixote II. lxiv. There is a remedy for everything but death, said Don Quixote” was printed in Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs (2008) by Jennifer Speake. “There’s a cure for everything except death” was spoken in the classic Italian movie Bicycle Thieves (1948).
   
“The prophet Muhammed (the founder of Islam) talks about the Black Seed, that in it there’s a cure for everything except death” (spoken by Denver Nuggets guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf) was printed in the Kenosha (WI) News on February 11, 1994. “Stupid Things That Make Me Happy: A window sign in a neighborhood shop selling medicinal herbs that reads ‘A cure for everything but death’” was Twitter by Caroline Bailey on May 5, 2010. “Comprehensive review of black cumin - cure for everything except death” was posted on Twitter by Nigella Sativa on January 6, 2011. “ok maybe I phrased that wrong..but it says Black Seed oil has a cure for everything but death” was posted on Twitter by “S” on April 14, 2011.

Wikipedia: Nigella sativa
Nigella sativa (black caraway, also known as black cumin, nigella or kalonji) is an annual flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania) and western Asia (Turkey, Iran and Iraq), but naturalized over a much wider area, including parts of Europe, northern Africa and east to Myanmar.

Says, there is a cure for everything except death, but the world has been long about finding a cure for many things. Norman’s Neutralizing Cordial fills the bill in one respect, as it cures all disorders of the stomach and bowels.

BLACK SEED OIL – “THE CURE FOR EVERYTHING BUT DEATH”. JENNY’S QUINCES
CHRIS’ NEWSLETTER 7TH APRIL 2015
Each week Alex, Fair Food‘s grocery buyer, sends me a note about the new things we’re getting into the webstore (which BTW you can always find here – New Products).  Anyway this week Alex noted beside newly the arrived Black Seed Oil , “This cures everything but death!”  Now Alex is not normally prone to overstating things so her claim for the miraculous healing power of Black Seed Oil intrigued me.
 
I’ve heard of Black Cumin, Black Sesame and Blackstrap Molasses but I’ve never heard of Black Seed Oil. So I went searching and learned that Alex’s quote is actually attributed to the prophet Mohammed who apparently was a big fan.

Black cumin seed: the cure for everything except death
Posted on April 3, 2017
The prophet Mohammed stated in his Hadith that black cumin cures every illness except death. The use of black cumin seed, also known as nigella seed (nigella sativa), originated in Ancient Egypt where it was reputedly used by Queen Nefertiti and Cleopatra and traces of the oil were found in Tutankhamen’s tomb.
 
23 November 2017, Gulf News (Dubai), “Kerala scientist blends Arabic, Indian medicines for global market,” pg. ?:
“The healing powers of black cumin has been known for centuries to the Arab world, and it is known to be a cure for everything but death. It stimulates metabolism, fights asthma and is an anti-oxidant, among others,” says Majeed.

The cure for everything but death.
Just a note: Black seed oil (N. Sativa) should be cold pressed, organic, and refrigerated in a dark bottle. (It goes rancid in the heat and light.)
