Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Black seed oil, derived from Nigella sativa, has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly within the Middle East, South Asia, and North Africa. Traditionally, it has been used to support a variety of body systems, including the immune, digestive, and respiratory systems. However, its use specifically for supporting adrenal gland health is primarily based on traditional beliefs rather than robust scientific evidence. In traditional herbalism, black seed oil is sometimes considered an 'adaptogen'—a substance that helps the body adapt to stress—though this classification is not universally accepted or scientifically validated for black seed oil. Scientific research on black seed oil has mostly focused on its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, but there are no well-designed clinical studies directly linking black seed oil to improved adrenal gland function or to the treatment of adrenal fatigue or insufficiency. Most references to adrenal support are extrapolated from its general health-promoting effects and its traditional use for vitality and energy, rather than from direct evidence. Thus, while the use of black seed oil for adrenal support is rooted in tradition, the scientific evidence to justify this specific use is currently weak.
