Black seeds (Nigella sativa), often called black seed or black cumin, have been used in traditional cooking and herbal practices for centuries. Social media posts frequently claim that old family recipes made with black seeds can “cleanse the body,” remove parasites, or detox the intestines. While black seeds contain beneficial plant compounds, there is no scientific evidence that they detox the body or eliminate parasites in healthy people.
Your liver, kidneys, lungs, and digestive system naturally remove waste from the body every day. No single food or drink can replace these natural processes.
