Immunologist Vladimir Bolyibok in a conversation with “Tape.ru” appreciated the prospects for the Nigella Sativa plant (Chernushki Sowing) in the treatment of coronavirus. According to the doctor, thanks to studies of scientists, it may be possible to highlight the necessary substance from plants or to produce it with a chemical way, which will become an important step in the fight against the virus.
Nigella Sativa flowering plant growing in North Africa and Western Asia can be used in the future as a new tool against COVID-19. This is reported in the article published in the magazine Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology.

Medic noted that no today was talking about the healing properties of Cumin – Last year, Pakistani scientists have published data that its seeds help with coronavirus.
“Apparently, here we are dealing with a parallel study or its continuation of the same group. Tmin is a traditional seasoning used in the Middle East – explained Bolyibok. – And there, indeed, there is a Timohyinone connection, capable of blocking S-protein Coronavirus. Accordingly, due to it, the virus does not apply further to the mucous membranes, and if it spreads, the infection itself does not cause damage to the internal organs. “
The doctor stressed that the results of the study deserve attention, but in order for them to be used to treat patients, it takes time. Pakistani scientists have already established how much the amount of food cumin must be used to achieve a prophylactic effect, but a new study revealed a substance itself with therapeutic properties.
“Pakistani scientists offer to mix a cumin with honey and use. And a new study clearly sets the required substance that can now be isolated from plants and use as a medicine. For example, as caffeine – it can be synthesized and taken in tablets. In the same The direction is likely to go and this story: a specific substance has been found, then it will be attempted to be isolated in a clean form or synthesize with a chemical way. If it is too difficult to synthesize, our agronomists and breeders will derive a variety where substances will be many, “the bolybok told.
Medic also drew attention to the fact that the requests of Internet users on the purchase of black cumin. However, as a doctor reminded, it is impossible to abuse this seasoning – this can lead to problems with the kidneys and pancreas.
Chernushka sowing is also useful in the treatment of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes mellitus. As an anti-inflammatory medium N.Sativa helps patients with allergic rhinitis and sinusitis, as well as children’s epilepsy.
