  schema:description "Black seed is a cooking spice and traditional remedy, also promoted against cancer. Small trials found that the seeds lowered fever with low white cells in children with brain cancers and that a gel reduced radiation skin reactions in breast cancer, but larger studies are needed. High doses may harm the liver, and it may weaken warfarin."@en ;
