Summary

My research explores the antihypertensive effects of Nigella sativa (black seed) oil in managing high blood pressure. Hypertension is a growing global health concern, often insufficiently controlled by standard medications. Nigella sativa, known for its bioactive compound thymoquinone, possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory properties, making it a potential natural remedy for blood pressure regulation.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Nigella sativa (black seed)

Participants in Group 1 (intervention group) will receive Nigella sativa (black seed) oil at a dosage of 0.5 ml, administered orally twice daily-once before breakfast and once before bedtime-for a duration of 12 weeks. The oil, sourced from a standardized local supplier, is rich in thymoquinone, known for its antioxidant and vasodilatory properties. Blood pressure will be measured at baseline and biweekly intervals using a calibrated digital sphygmomanometer to monitor changes in systolic and diastolic values. Participants will also be monitored regularly for any adverse effects.
