Kalonji or Kalajeera is also known as Upakunci in Ayurveda. It has a characteristic taste and flavor and is used in various cuisines.
Kalonji helps to keep blood sugar levels in check and is good for diabetics due to its hypoglycemic (blood sugar lowering) activity. Adding Kalonji seeds to food acts as a digestive aid and prevents gas and flatulence due to its carminative property. Kalonji also helps in maintaining a balance between good and bad cholesterol levels due to its antioxidant activity. It might also help in weight management as it increases the metabolism of the body. Kalonji seed powder, when taken along with milk, increases testosterone levels and improve sperm production in men.
Kalonji has antimicrobial and antioxidant activity due to which it is used for various skin and hair problems like boils, eruptions, wrinkles and hair fall. Kalonji oil can be applied on the skin to help manage eczema. Applying kalonji seed paste on the scalp might also help promote hair growth and prevent hair fall.
Kalonji should be cautiously used by people taking antidiabetic medicines as it may cause a sudden drop in blood sugar levels[2][3].
