For the past 2 years I've been on a journey of natural homeopathic healing. I suffer from many health issues, and because I do not have health insurance, this has truly been my only option. And in general, I do not want to be on pharmaceuticals or unnatural treatments.I already oil pull twice a day with pure coconut oil. I use my magnesium oil, apple cider vinegar, dead sea salt, baking soda and honey, as a part of my everyday routines. All that said, while there has been a difference in my health ... definitely, enough to keep going with it ... I have had days of total fatigue and weakness, to where it was a struggle to lift my arms over my head, and my legs felt like melted butter when I'd walk. I am also going through the change of life, which has compounded the situation. Frustrated, but still hopeful, I went back to my research, to see if there was anything else I could try.I had known about Black Seed Oil, and that whole "it cures everything but death itself", for at least a year ... but honestly it sounded so hyped, that it put me off. However, it kept coming up in my research, so I decided to give a small bottle a try.I started out with a simple teaspoon. After dealing with the horrific tasting likes of apple cider vinegar, (which I can take a teaspoon straight if I have to), I found the black seed oil to be a BREEZE to taste and swallow. Both my daughters did not have any problem taking a spoonful of it (and believe me, they are WIMPS with that stuff). I did have my sister say it tasted like turpentine, but considering I almost poisoned myself as a kid when I drank from a bottle of turpentine, I think that is a gross exaggeration. Black seed oil is mostly bland, with a hint of spice in your throat, that goes away within seconds. Now that I've been taking it a few weeks, I actually look forward to the taste.Results: After the first spoonful, literally maybe 5 minutes later, I felt ... *something*. I can't even put into words, the effect, but it was pleasant. The closest that describes it is, a "sense of well being" ... a feeling of health. I honestly thought it was just in my head, I mean what could work that quickly, right?I have been taking it now for a few weeks and it is the most AMAZING remedy I have ever tried.*** I have much more energy, and yet my body is calm ...*** I can focus better and don't have that feeling of cobwebs in my head.*** My legs and arms are not so weak.*** It has MOST definitely positively affected my menopausal symptoms.My girls say I am easier to be around. I'm a pleasant person normally, but when one does not feel well, we get pretty grumpy. Black seed oil has at least partially given me back my old life and my old me. Everyday I take it, I feel better and better.WEIGHT LOSS: My 15 year old daughter is now also taking it for the past week. She reports that she too feels positive effects and it makes her want to be more active. She's taking it to lose about 15 lbs. There is a recipe for weight loss that includes 1 teaspoon Black Seed Oil, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of organic (ceylon) cinnamon in a 6 oz cup of hot water (like a tea). She only started the recipe a week ago and her jeans are already a little loose. It's tough to get a teenager to focus on their health, they are so involved in other things, but my daughter LOVES this oil so much, she never fails to take it everyday.I don't normally ever leave reviews this long, but I just can't say enough about it. Bottom line, this one is really not just hype. It WORKS, and for SO many things. The oil has 100 healing components which work together in a synergetic effect. If you are on the fence, I HIGHLY recommend trying it. While I cannot claim it works for everyone, I can absolutely say this is my TOP natural remedy and will forever be in use in our home. I came to Amazon to buy the largest size they had, the 32 ounce. While it's not the cheapest oil to purchase, it's SO worth it.
