brightrosefoxA coworker, who knows I'm into holistic skin care, just gave me a bottle of some bath oil (Healing Bath Oil) that contains my favorites, tamanu and sea buckthorn -- plus black seed oil. I think this is awesome.
I was reading up on black seed again, and as it turns out, it has been used throughout history as a contraceptive for women, as well as stimulation of menstruation and milk flow. I had assumed that neem was the only herb worth mentioning regarding contraception, so this is interesting. (I know a couple of women who use neem both externally and internally as a form of contraception, but I wouldn't want to take that risk, not until lots more studies are published confirming its effectiveness.)
Black Seed is very good for dozens of physical ailments, and it works pretty well for me. But I haven't used it in skin care yet. The oil has a very strong smell -- herbal and nutty and very dark. It's not the most pleasing fragrance, but I can tell it's powerful.
