Black seeds is not scarce in the Nigerian markets. You can buy it from the nuts vendors who are known as ‘Aboki or Hausa people”. They hawk it around with bitter cola, Kola nuts, dibino (dates), etc.

Aside, Nothern vendors (Aboki), you can buy black seeds in the markets. It can be bought where nuts and grains are sold in the markets. As I said, it is not a hidden product.

How To Make Black Seed Oil at Home – from Expert

There are 2 things required in making black seeds oil:

•  Carrier Oil
• Black Seeds

I have explained what Black seeds mean and where to find them. For those who do not know what carrier oil means, I am going to explain it here too.

Carrier Oil simply means oils used to dilute essential oils. Examples of carrier oils are coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil, Avocado oil, etc. Another word for it is ‘base oil‘.

For example, when you want to make carrot oil. You will have to pour oil into the carrot extracts to form the carrot oil. That oil you added is known as a carrier oil.

I don’t think there is any home that does not have either olive oil or coconut oil at home. So, you can use either your coconut oil or olive oil as your base oil (carrier oil) to make your black seed oil.

Procedures in making Black seeds oil at Home

Having mentioned the requirements, follow these steps to make your black oil at home. Note, there are different methods of making black oil. We are going to teach you the cold-pressed method.

This is because this type of method is the safest and it helps to preserve all the medicinal properties in the black seeds.

• * Pour the black seed into your blender and blend into a powder. Don’t add water. Just blend dry.
• * Pour your carrier oil into the blender and blend again.
• * Blend and allow it to settle for 30 minutes.
• * Repeat this process 3x
• * Then pour it in a bowl.
• * You can keep it somewhere safe for few hours so that it will infuse very well.

I prefer leaving it overnight for it to infuse very well. Leaving it overnight is actually the cold-pressed process. It allows the black seeds to ferment with the base oil.

• • * Then sieve the oil to remove the seed particles and there you have it. Your cold-pressed black seed oil is ready for use.

Alternative

However, in the absence of a blender, black seeds can be ground or pounded. Just make sure it is pounded into powder.

When you are done pounding or grinding, scoop everything into a bowl and pour your carrier or base oil. Mix it and leave it to settle. Keep it in a safe and cool place and cover it with a tight lid.

After a few hours, open it and remix it again. Turn it with a spoon until the black seeds are soaked with the carrier oil. Do it over and over like 3 consecutive time intervals and keep it overnight.

Leave it till the following day (24 hours). Your black seed oil is good to go.

But, the task is not yet finished. You need to sieve it. Sieve out the black seeds chaff and store the oil extracts in a cup or bottle with a cover.

Wow! That is your black seeds oil.
