I’ve always been extremely health conscious. I even grew up without a microwave! (Thanks Mom & Dad).
Before making food purchases I’m quickly scanning for Red 40, inflammatory oils such as sunflower or palm oil, and unwanted additives like natural flavors or essences.
I am also sure not to use things such as car air fresheners or plugins, toxic candles or plastic Tupperware.
Let’s just say, I’m afraid of chronic illness. So let’s do EVERYTHING possible to prevent it! So far, so good, right?
Then, about 2 1/2 years ago, I got Oatie. My perfect little cat who I adore with my whole heart.
I knew something was wrong the moment we got him in the car to go home. I couldn’t breathe, and was coughing nonstop. And it only got worse.
I’ve always struggled with mild congestion due to allergies, but this was on another level. I was wheezing so bad, every breath I took basically sounded like a Kazoo.
I couldn’t sleep or barely finish a sentence without a cough attack and hacking up a storm. This went on for over a month, and I started to get nervous. The only time I could ever catch a break was when I was away from Oatie for several hours.
I had been around cats plenty before, even lived with them! Why were my allergies suddenly so awful?
Turns out I had a chronic case of allergic asthma. Great.
So I turned to Dr. Google and started nonstop researching on what could help me so I could continue living with Oatie (and able to breathe).
I figured out that the root cause (other than being SUPER allergic to cats) was that my airways were quite inflamed and irritated.
Then, I stumbled on Black Seed Oil, “the cure for everything but death!”
It’s this miracle oil that is extracted from the “Nigella sativa” plant. If done correctly, it has a high percentage of “thymoquinone” which is an anti-cancer, an anti-inflammatory (YAY for me) an antioxidant and more.
So, after doing a bit more research, I ordered a Black Seed Oil supplement that was 70% thymoquinone. And no joke, within 2 days of taking it, my symptoms were completely gone. Yep, poof!
This really started getting me interested in natural ways to combat my problems. I started taking Oil of Oregano when feeling sick and Pantothenic acid for my skin.
While I do still pop a Zyrtec, I can’t imagine going back to a life without Black Seed Oil. I try to get all my friends and family to take it since it can help with such a wide variety of problems!
Plus, Oatie wasn’t going ANYWHERE!
