Kalonji oil and seeds both are equally good but Kalonji oil is preferred over seeds as it is 35 to 50% more potent and convenient to use
Kalonji oil is actually made from a remarkable herb called Kalonji sativa, which is popularly known as black cumin or black seed.
Kalonji is known by many names around the world due to its ancient popular history and medicinal value such as: Black Cumin, Roman Coriander, Karvi (French), Schwarzkummel (German), Kalonji (Hindi/Urdu), Kejah (Hebrew) Cherushka (Russian), korak-otu (Turkish), habbat-albarkah or habbats-sauda (Arabic) siyah daneh (Persian) etc.
Kalonji is sometimes confused with the similar-looking onion seeds and black sesame seeds, both of which are completely unrelated and certainly not the same.
History
Kalonji seeds have been found in many places from ancient Egypt, including the tomb of Tutankhamun. Although its exact role in Egyptian culture is unknown, it is known that the objects entwined with the pharaoh were carefully chosen to aid him in the afterlife.
The earliest written reference to N. sativa is believed to be in the Book of Isaiah in the Old Testament where a distinction is made between the harvesting of fennel and wheat (Isaiah 28:25, 27). Easton’s Bible Dictionary states that the Hebrew word ketsah without doubt refers to N. sativa (though not all translations are in agreement).
In Islam, it is considered one of the greatest forms of curative medicine available. Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) once said that black seed could cure every disease – except death – as narrated in the following hadith:
[Sahih Muslim: Book 26 Kitab As-Salam, Number 5489]
It is also included in the list of natural medicines of ‘Tibb-e-Nabvi’, or “Medicine of the Prophet (Muhammad) (SAW)”, according to tradition that “holds on to the use of black seeds” for all ailments except death. Treatment” (Sahih Bukhari Volume 7 Book 71 # 592).

scientific research
Thymoquinone and treatment of pancreatic cancer
Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University’s Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia have found that thymoquinone, an extract of Nigella sativa seed oil, blocks pancreatic cancer cell growth and kills cells by increasing the process of programmed cell death, (apoptosis) . While studies are in the early stages, the findings suggest that thymoquinone may eventually have some use as a preventive strategy in patients who have undergone surgery and chemotherapy or in individuals who are at high risk of developing cancer.
“The seeds are also rich in sterols, especially beta-sitosterol, which is known to have anticarcinogenic activity.”
