Update on Nigella (Black onion seed, cumin seed) and Hepatitis
Andy Battaglia:
Pratik,
You can use the seed itself. It's simple to use and easily available in India.

By what name should I go on purchasing it? Black seed? I don't know if anyone knows it here, I'll try though.
Andy Battaglia:
Common names besides nigella are Black seeds, Black cumin, fennel flower, black caraway, nutmeg flower, Roman coriander, black onion seed, kalonji. Do you recognize any of the names?
Ambareen advised taking 1/2 teaspoon, put them in a dry pan on the stove and heat briefly until the seeds start to make a little popping sound. Grind the seeds and mix with one tablespoon of honey and eat.

Do any of these resemble to "Flex seeds"? Because I've them and they are black, same appearance as black seed one can describe. I'll try getting those somehow. Already have ordered milk thistle previously.
I've been also taking "Liv. 52" by Himalaya with suspicious eyes (I don't have much trust but my dad advises me to take). Have you have any opinions on it's goodness?
-P.
Ambareen:
It's not cumin seed, it's only called black seed or kalonji in Hindi or habbey sauda in Arabic.. You just have to grind it and mix it honey and have it just less than half a tsp.. No pan frying deeded
