Kalonji also called black seeds or Nigella seeds, lend a nice flavour to any culinary dish. The tiny seeds come with a host of benefits as well. They aid weight loss and alleviate joint pain but they have even more to offer. Kalonji seeds are a powerhouse for healthy skin and hair! Let's dive in:

When applied topically, kalonji oil works wonders on the hair and skin. But always remember, just like most skincare and beauty products, it is always advised to conduct a patch test.

The oil is considered to be anti-bacterial in nature and may help fight off pesky acne. The oil contains compounds called Nigellone and Thymoquinone which may reduce hair fall and facilitate regrowth, giving you voluminous and shiny hair! If you suffer from dandruff, it may be a good idea to apply kalonji oil.

Its anti-fungal nature makes it an antidote for eczema and other kinds of skin irritation as well, leaving you with soft and supple skin.

It is advised to combine kalonji oil with other oils like coconut and olive oil with honey to reap maximum results.
