Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Black seed (Nigella sativa) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in the Middle East, South Asia, and North Africa. Historical texts and traditional practitioners have recommended black seed for a wide range of digestive complaints, including nausea and vomiting. The seeds and their oil have been used in folk medicine to soothe the stomach, reduce indigestion, and address gastrointestinal upset. However, while there is documentation of such traditional use, the specific application of black seed for nausea and vomiting is often part of broader gastrointestinal remedies and not always singled out as a primary treatment for these symptoms.

From a scientific perspective, there is currently minimal direct evidence supporting the efficacy of black seed in treating or preventing nausea and vomiting. Most contemporary research focuses on its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and gastroprotective properties. Some animal studies suggest possible benefits for gastric ulcers and general digestive health, but human studies specifically targeting nausea and vomiting are lacking. Therefore, while black seed is traditionally used for these symptoms, robust scientific validation is not yet available, and the evidence supporting its use remains primarily anecdotal and traditional.
