About

My research explores the antihypertensive effects of Nigella sativa (black seed) oil in managing high blood pressure. Hypertension is a growing global health concern, often insufficiently controlled by standard medications. Nigella sativa, known for its bioactive compound thymoquinone, possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory properties, making it a potential natural remedy for blood pressure regulation.
