Medicinal usage in Islam

The prophet Muhammad PBUH said that ‘This black cumin is healing for all diseases except Death.’ The prophet recommended that Muslims take five or seven seeds and crush them (mix the powder with oil) and drop the resulting mixture into both nostrils. (Book #71, Hadith #591)
