Laiq Ali Khan      The plants of Kalonji are found  throughout India in the form of bushes. The height of the plant is  approximately half a meter. It possesses blue flowers. It is originated  from Turkey and Italy. Later on, it was brought to Asia by physicians  and cultivated in India. Now a days, it is cultivated throughout India,  whereas it is wildly grown too. Seeds are triangular in shape, black in  colour and possess a severe pungent smell, contain a considerable amount  of oil. It is incorrect that Arabs learnt its use from Greeks, because  before the advent of Islam in middle east no description is found on  record about it’s use. It’s therapeutic use was initiated after the  advent of Islam, since, Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) mentioned its  therapeutic efficacy and potential of cure.   Abu Hurairah States - “I have  heard from the Prophet (Pbuh) that there is cure for every disease in  black seeds except death and black seeds are shooneez.”   Salim Bin Abdullah narrates with reference to his father Abdullah Bin Omar that the Prophet (Pbuh) said, “Let fall these black seeds upon you, these contain cure for all diseases except death.”   The same narration is found in  Sanad-e-Ahmed from Aisha (the Prophet’s wife) and in Ibn-al-Jozi and  Trimizi from Abu Huraira. Buraida narrates that Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh)  stated - “Shooneez is cure for all ailments except death.”    It is stated in the books of  seerat that Nabi-e-Akram (Pbuh) himself used to take these seeds for  therapeutic purpose but with the syrup of Honey. Khalid Bin Saad states that he  was travelling with Ghalib Bin Jabr, when fell ill during the journey.  Ibn Abi Ateeq (nephew of the mother of believers Aisha) Came to meet us.  On seeing the patient, he took 5 or 7 seeds of Kalonji and ground it,  mixed it in olive oil and dropped in both nostrils, Hazrat Aisha told us  that Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) stated that there was cure in black seeds  for all ailments except sam. I asked him, what was sam? he told “Death”.  Ghalib Bin Jabr became healthy with that treatment. Observations of the  scholars of Hadith reveal that shooneez is equally effective for the  diseases due to heat and cold. Zahbi states that kalonji removes the  obstruction of any part of the body, expels the gases and strengthens  the stomach. It is Emmenagogue, Lactogogue and Diuretic. It is an  Anti-Helminthic, if taken with vinegar. It is useful in chronic cold.  Inhalation of its smell is useful in common cold. The oil of Kalonji is  effective in Alopecia. Half tea-spoonful, if boiled in water and taken,  is helpful in Asthma and diffuses the toxic effects of Bee and Wasps.  Continuous use of kalonji is effective in mad dog biting. Fumigation of  kalonji is useful in respiratory diseases. It is useful in paralysis,  Facial Palsy, Migraine, Amnesia and Palpitation. It is also an  expectorant and antipyretic. It mormalises the secretions of stomach and  pancreas. This phenomenon is very much effective and significant in the  treatment of Diabetes Mellitus. It expels the kidney and urinary  bladder stones, if taken with the syrup of honey. It is effective in  jaundice also if taken with milk. It’s powder if taken with water is  effective in Haemorrhoids. If Kalonji seeds are boiled in vinegar and  this solution is applied on Gums and Teeth, it removes the inflammation  of the gums and relieves the pain also. It is also reported that its  fine powder is effective if applied in early stages of cataract. Kalonji  is also used in skin disorders. The oil of the seeds is also effective  in earache.   Chemical Composition - seeds  contain 1.5% volatile oil, while 37.5% Non volatile oil. In addition to  this Albumen, Sugar, Organic acids, Glucoside Melanthin Metarbin and  bitter substances are also found. The Glucoside is toxic in nature,  hence the use of Kalonji in large doses and prolonged use might be  harmful.   If it is taken with Qust  Sheering after breakfast and Dinner, it is effective in chronic  dysentery and Asthma. Qust Sheering is a good medicine for sexual  debility, but if it is taken with Kalonji seeds and Habburrashad, it  becomes more fortified. Modern upto date trials have proved that Kalonji  seeds alone or in combination with other drugs are highly effective in  Diabetes Mellitus, vitiligo and other skin ailments.(* Director, Shah Faisal Institute of Hadith & Medical Sciences, Kasganj-207123 ,UP)</blockquote>
