Black Seed Honey

Drizzling a little honey on your cereal may provide a sweet alternative, from a health perspective, to refined sugar. Adding oil from black seed, also known as nigella, black cumin or black caraway, to your honey may further increase the possible health benefits. Both honey and black seed may have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, although most studies showing these effects have been conducted on animals, not people. While black seed honey provides a sweet treat, don't use it to treat a health condition without your doctor's approval.
Honey Benefits

Honey contains numerous polyphenols, plant substances with possible health benefits. Polyphenols found in honey, which include caffeic acid, chrysin, galangin, kaempferol, apigenin and quercetin may have antioxidant properties and restrict cancer cell growth in the laboratory, Indian researchers reported in the July 2009 issue of the "Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology."
Black Seed Benefits

Black seed has a long history of use in Islamic medicine, which uses the black seed as a treatment for numerous disorders, running the gamut from cancer to dizziness. Nigella sativa, a flowering plant found throughout Asia, India and Europe produces seeds from which oil is extracted. The oil is mixed with honey to make black seed honey. Black seed oil contains thymoquinon, an antioxidant. Antioxidants can reduce cell damage by destroying free radicals, molecules that destroy cellular DNA.

Combined Effects

Combining honey with black seed may provide a weapon against liver disease. A December 2010 study published in "Integrative Cancer Therapies" found that a combination of the two increased levels of antioxidants, which reduced the viability of liver cancer cells in the laboratory. While animal and laboratory studies have benefit, they don't prove that a substance will have a similar effect on people.
