Hab Shifa

Hab Shifa Buying Guide

Hab Shifa is best known for its TQ+ Organic Black Seed Oil, available at Shop Naturally in 50ml and 250ml bottles. Both sizes contain the same oil, so choosing between them is straightforward. The brand also produces capsules, gummies, seeds, honey and personal-care products, offering different ways to incorporate black seed into everyday routines.

Hab Shifa TQ+ Organic Black Seed Oil

Hab Shifa TQ+ Organic Black Seed Oil contains 100% Nigella sativa oil. Black seed is sometimes called black cumin or black caraway, although it's a different plant from the ordinary culinary cumin you might have in your spice cupboard.

The oil is certified organic and cold-pressed, a process that extracts oil from the seeds using mechanical pressure rather than high-temperature processing. Pure black seed oil has a naturally strong aroma and a distinctive earthy, slightly peppery flavour, which can take some getting used to if you're trying it for the first time.

Choosing Between 50ml and 250ml

Both bottles contain the same TQ+ Organic Black Seed Oil. The 50ml bottle is a good starting point if you're trying black seed oil for the first time or prefer a smaller quantity. The 250ml bottle may be more convenient if you already use black seed oil regularly.

There's no difference in formulation or strength between the two sizes. Choose according to how much you expect to use and follow the storage directions to help maintain the quality of the oil.

What Is Thymoquinone?

Thymoquinone, usually shortened to TQ, is a naturally occurring compound found in Nigella sativa seeds and their oil. It's one of the best-known constituents of black seed oil and is the reason Hab Shifa highlights TQ in the product name.

Different black seed oils can contain varying amounts of thymoquinone depending on the seeds and extraction process. If you're comparing products, check the manufacturer's information rather than assuming every black seed oil has the same TQ concentration.

How to Use Hab Shifa Black Seed Oil

Hab Shifa TQ+ Organic Black Seed Oil is an Australian-listed therapeutic product (AUST L 445394), with directions for oral use. Follow the instructions on the bottle for the recommended amount and frequency.

The manufacturer also describes topical uses for black seed oil. If you're interested in applying it to your skin or hair, check the product directions and remember that pure botanical oils can feel quite different from ready-made skincare products.

Black Seed Oil Capsules and Gummies

Hab Shifa also produces black seed oil capsules and gummies, which may appeal to customers who prefer a convenient, pre-portioned format or don't enjoy the strong flavour of liquid black seed oil. Ingredients, serving sizes and thymoquinone content can vary, so check the individual product details when comparing formats.

Black Seeds and Honey Products

Beyond its oils and supplements, Hab Shifa offers whole black seeds, seasonings, Manuka honey and black seed honey combinations. These products bring black seed into food and everyday pantry use, rather than offering the same formulation as the concentrated oil.

Hab Shifa Skin and Haircare

Hab Shifa's wider range includes shampoo, conditioner, lotion and body wash. These ready-to-use personal-care products combine black seed ingredients with other ingredients suited to their particular purpose. They're worth exploring if you enjoy black seed as an ingredient but prefer a formulated haircare or skincare product rather than applying pure oil.
