Here’s a simple recipe to make homemade black seed oil using coconut oil, black seeds, and cloves.
Ingredients;
- 1 cup black seeds (also known as Nigella sativa seeds)
- 2 cups coconut oil
- 10-15 cloves
Instructions;
1 Start by lightly toasting the black seeds in a dry skillet over low heat for a few minutes. This helps to release the oils and enhance the flavor.
2 Once toasted, transfer the black seeds to a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Grind them into a coarse powder.
3 In a saucepan, combine the ground black seeds, coconut oil, and cloves. Heat the mixture over low heat for about 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally. Make sure not to boil the mixture; keep it at a low simmer.
4 After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool down to room temperature.
5 Once cooled, strain the oil through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean, sterilized glass jar.
6 Store the homemade black seed oil in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. It can last for several months if stored properly.
That’s it! Your homemade black seed oil infused with coconut oil and cloves is ready to use. Remember to do a patch test before using it extensively on your skin or hair.
How it helps - Black seed oil, infused with coconut oil and cloves, can potentially aid in hair growth and reduce hair fall through several mechanisms. Black seed oil contains thymoquinone, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help soothe the scalp, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy hair follicles. Additionally, coconut oil is rich in fatty acids and vitamins that nourish the scalp, strengthen hair strands, and prevent breakage. The inclusion of cloves adds further antimicrobial benefits, helping to maintain a healthy scalp environment. Regular application of this homemade oil blend can potentially improve scalp health, stimulate hair follicles, and contribute to stronger, thicker hair growth while reducing hair fall.
