How to use
Now there is a few ways to use kalonji seeds. But allow me to start by saying that kalonji seeds become much more effective when combined with honey and lemon juice. But then some consider garlic combined with Kalonji seeds just as effective when combined.
For me personally it is part of my daily routine. Every morning I pour boiling hot water in a cup. Add the seeds, teaspoon honey and tablespoon lemon juice. But that is what I personally prefer.
Alternatively you can take seeds, pour very small amount (just enough to cover the seeds) lemon juice over it. Place in a warm space with direct sunlight. Leave till all the liquid is absorbed (next day) and drink it. 
Then as many will be able to confirm it can be used in cooking.
Or take kalonji seeds. Follow that up with a small amount of honey. But it is advised to do this on an empty stomach in the morning at least half an hour before coffee tea or breakfast.
Now this post I credit to someone very close to my heart as the person pointed me in the direction of this very potent and natural product for a healthy lifestyle. So the next time you think of natural products for your health. Don't forget to add Kalonji seeds to your list. You will see and feel an improvement in your life.
