Thymoquinone (TQ) in kalonji oil is anti-carcinogenic and anti-tumour. It has demonstrated effectiveness in treating aggressive cancers. The oil has been shown to kill off hormone-dependant and hormone-independent cancer cells. Thymoquinone is anti-proliferative, cytotoxic, anti-mutagenic, and anti-metastatic. It is thought that the oil’s ability to impact immunity and suppress inflammation are the reasons for its anti-cancer properties.¹⁰

Natural compounds are at the forefront of cancer research because medications used to treat cancer can stop working¹¹ Kalonji oil can supplement chemotherapy treatment and reduce side-effects such as liver toxicity.¹² If you or someone you know has one of the cancers mentioned above, seriously consider adding kalonji oil to the cancer regimen.

An important ally in addressing stomach disorders

Quality of life deteriorates rapidly for sufferers of ulcers, gastric acidity, cramps, and serious immune-inflammatory diseases of the gut such as colitis and inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS).

Kalonji oil reduces the acidity in the gut. In the intestine, it acts to lower the secretion of histamine, which can contribute to immune-inflammatory response.²⁰

Do you know any supplement that can improve your glycaemic control, cholesterol, blood pressure, and body weight?²¹ Kalonji oil is an astonishing supplement, which can lower your risk of diabetes, stroke, and heart disease by improving:

Insulin levels
Insulin resistance²²
Fasting blood sugar
Cholesterol profile²³
Total cholesterol²⁴
Blood pressure
Body mass index

Prevents permanent liver disease by scavenging free radicals

Oxidative stress is the cause behind most forms of liver disease. The inability of the body to detoxify sufficiently can lead to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, failure. Given liver’s central role in removing toxins from the body, it is vital for you to keep this important organ healthy. One way to protect the liver from injury is to step up your antioxidant defences.^28,29 Kalonji oil provides powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection for the liver. The high concentration of the plant compound thymoquinone gives kalonji oil the capacity to neutralise free radicals and reduce the chance of oxidative damage to your liver cells.³⁰

Treat kidney stones and prevent renal injury

Kalonji oil is a preventative supplement for anyone prone to recurring kidney stones. They can be extremely painful to pass through the urinary tract. In acute cases, these stones can obstruct urinary flow and lead to infection, urethra damage, and chronic kidney disease (CVD).

The incredibly powerful anti-oxidative power of thymoquinone works with other
phytochemicals in kalonji oil to break up the calcium deposits in kidneys.²⁹ Patients with advanced CVD have seen significant improvement by supplementing with kalonji oil.³¹
