stumbled across some research about this stuff supposedly anti inflammatory

especially in auto immune thyroid conditions , has been shown to lower TSH etc etc .

I know we have all been around the block a few times with various supplements snake oils etc ,

so i wondered if anybody had tried ?

just received a bottle of the stuff yesterday so cant report myself yet ,

only finding so far is i wish i had gotten capsules because its very strong flavored .

I have no idea how to post links to the research i found sorry .

I tried it (for dry eye relating to TED) but it made absolutely no difference to my symptoms or thyroid levels after 3 months of supplementation. I understand that it is beneficial to some though!

I use Black Seed Oil although not specifically for autoimmunity but as a carrier for other oils. Also a great face oil and smoothed on hair and nails.

I bought some black seed oil it has wonderful recommendations, however it didn't do anything notably for me.

Not looking hopeful is it . It looks like the miracle remedy/treatment will remain behind NHS locked doors for the majority of us who just want to "feel well" . if i cant stomach the stuff i will rub it into my crusty cuticles

Not what you're looking for?
