It’s widely used in traditional and modern medicine to treat and prevent a high number of diseases. The seeds of this plant contain fixed and essential oils as well alkaloids, proteins, saponin, and other chemical components. Most biological properties result from thymoquinone, a major component of the essential oil and present in fixed oil. Many researchers are interested in studying the pharmacological properties of this oil, and have shown its effect against inflammation, cancer, hepatic disorders and other diseases. A huge number of studies support the potential use of this plant in human therapy.
