Black Seed:

The one who is fully aware of the affairs of His creation decreed that trials and tribulations would affect us, and from these trials are some which may affect our health and wellbeing. Therefore from His bounty He made for every ailment a cure and from these cures He made the blackseed. This is supported by the prophetic narration on the authority of Abu Hurairah that the prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa salam) said “Use the black seed, because it contains a cure for every type of ailment except death.”
(Sahihayn, Ibn Hibban, at-Tirmidhi and others)
