Here’s a simple daily routine using Nigella Seed Oil (Black Seed Oil) — you can customize it depending on your goals: immunity, skin, or hair.

🌞 Morning Routine: Internal Use for Immunity & Energy

✅ What to Do:

  • Take 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of black seed oil on an empty stomach.
  • Optionally, mix it with:
    • A bit of honey (for taste + extra immune support).
    • Or warm water with lemon.

🕐 When: Right after waking up, before breakfast.

📌 Why: Boosts immunity, digestion, energy, and reduces inflammation.

🧴 Skin Routine (Day or Night)

✅ What to Do:

  • Mix a few drops of nigella oil into your regular moisturizer, or:
  • Apply it directly to problem areas (like acne or dry patches) diluted with a carrier oil (e.g. jojoba or argan).

🕐 When: After cleansing, morning or evening.

📌 Why: Helps with acne, redness, dryness, and gives a healthy glow.

💆‍♀️ Hair & Scalp Routine (2–3 times per week)

✅ What to Do:

  • Mix 1 tablespoon nigella oil with 1 tablespoon coconut or olive oil.
  • Warm it slightly, then massage into your scalp for 5–10 minutes.
  • Leave on for 30–60 minutes (or overnight if tolerated), then wash out.

🕐 When: 2–3 times a week, depending on your hair type.

📌 Why: Strengthens roots, reduces hair fall, encourages growth, soothes dandruff or itchiness.

🌙 Evening Option (Optional Extra Boost)

  • If you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, or sleep issues, take another ½ tsp of black seed oil with warm herbal tea or milk before bed.

🕐 When: 30–60 minutes before sleep.

📌 Why: May help relax the nervous system and support better sleep.

⚠️ Notes:

  • Always start with a low dose (½ tsp/day) if you’re new to internal use.
  • Make sure the oil is cold-pressed, 100% pure, and stored in a dark bottle.
  • If you’re taking medications or have a health condition — talk to your doctor first.
