Brief Answer:
black seed interaction

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concerns and following is the recommended guidelines in Ayurveda:

1. You must be referring to black CUMIN seeds oil and in Ayurveda we generally use it as an excellent anti-inflammatory drug (where inflammation is long lasting like arthritis,cancer,skin condition,lung disease) and also to boost Immunity and recent scientific studies have confirmed its health benefits.

Dose: 1 teaspoon with honey/herbal tea and before meal.

2. Since reports have confirmed that they do inhibit certain enzymes of drug metabolism thus one need to check with his/her physician for any interaction.

3. Side Effect: because of its hot potency, in some people it may cause vomiting, diarrhea,liver trouble,chest pain.
PS. If the same happens with you take seeds instead of oil.
