How To Take BLAQ^®

Black seed oil can be taken in various ways, depending on personal preference and desired outcomes. The oil, like the seeds has a peppery tang that some people might need to disguise.

1. Oral Consumption:
   • Pure Oil: You can consume black seed oil directly by taking a teaspoon orally. It’s advisable to start with a small amount and gradually increase the dosage as directed by your health care practitioner.
   • Mixed with Food: You can also mix the oil with food or beverages, such as smoothies, salads, yoghurt, or juices, to mask the taste.
   • Capsules: Extracts are available in capsule form, which can be swallowed with water. These tend to be lower in potency, so multiple capsules may be needed to match the active ingredients in 5mL of BLAQ^®
2. Topical Application:
   • The oil can be applied topically to the skin to address various skin issues, such as eczema, acne, psoriasis, and dry skin. It can be applied directly to the affected area or mixed with a carrier oil for dilution.
3. Inhalation:
   • Some people choose to inhale black seed oil vapours by adding a few drops to a bowl of hot water or a diffuser. This method may help alleviate respiratory issues such as asthma, allergies, or sinus congestion. However, we would recommend a steam inhalation with Eucalyptus Blue Gum, Oregano or Thyme essential oils are better suited for this purpose.
4. Combination with Honey:
   • Mixing the pure oil with honey is a traditional method of consumption. This combination can enhance the taste and may provide additional health benefits, especially for respiratory health and immune support.
5. Consultation with Healthcare Provider:
   • It’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider or a qualified herbalist before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking medications. They can provide personalised guidance on the dosage and method of consumption based on your individual needs and health status.

Ultimately, the best way to take black seed depends on your preferences, health goals, and any specific health concerns you may have. It’s essential to choose a high-quality, organic black seed oil from a reputable source to ensure purity and effectiveness.
