Rating (out of 5): 2

Black Seed (Nigella sativa) has a long history of traditional use in various systems of medicine, especially in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. Historically, it has been regarded as a general remedy for a wide array of ailments, including those associated with the glandular system, such as hormonal imbalances and support for pancreatic and thyroid function. The seeds and their oil have been used in traditional Unani, Ayurvedic, and Islamic medicine for their supposed benefits in enhancing vitality and supporting endocrine health.

However, scientific evidence specifically linking Black Seed to glandular system support—in particular, its direct effects on glands such as the thyroid, adrenal, or pituitary—is limited. Some preliminary studies indicate potential anti-diabetic effects (supporting pancreatic function) and possible influence on thyroid function, but these findings are not robust or widely replicated. Most available studies are animal-based or involve small human samples, and often focus on general anti-inflammatory or antioxidant properties rather than direct endocrine modulation.

Thus, the use of Black Seed for glandular system support is primarily justified by traditional use rather than strong scientific validation. More research, especially high-quality human clinical trials, is needed to substantiate these traditional claims.
