I know that when a put a teaspoon or so of coconut oil in my morning coffee I have more energy, I'm more alert, & more focused. It also puts me in a better mood because I have more energy and my brain feels less foggy.
What exactly does coconut oil do to help your brain?
*When I put
Answer
There is no compelling evidence to support that. Studies so far have been too small and poorly designed, typical of the alternative medicine fraternity. Your personal experience fails to rule out placebo effects. Moreover, it seems the proposed mechanism of action (benefits due to ketones providing an alternative energy source for brain cells) has not passed scientific muster, as yet.

Question about Black seed Oil?
Q. I was just wondering, which "brand" is best? I mean they are all the same right? But when I went to the shop there were many different ones such as imaan black seed oil and another one which I can't remember lol
http://www.amsons.co.uk/black-seeds/
There is a lot more than that in the shop - do you have a particular brand that you use?
Also does the rub-in ones work? I would like to buy some for my mom and use it on her back since she gets backache
BTW if you don't want the oil how do you use the actual seeds? Since the Prophet said "Use this black seed regularly, because it has a cure for every disease except death.â (Reported by Bukhari.)
So I would prefer to use the seed not the oil

I agree with Maryam, if your going to buy the oil buy Shifa Pure Virgin Cold Pressed, if your buying the soap, buy the Black Seed & Coconut, its nice I use it.
For back ache and other muscular pains mildly heat some Black Seed oil and then stroke the affected area intensely with the oil, together with a teaspoon (5ml) of Virgin black seed oil to be drunk three times daily. Works within a few weeks, Insha'Allah.
Whole Black Seed is available at the link below, its not to expensive.

Whole black seed are crushed and the oil is then extracted, I have used Whole Black Seeds to make tea. I wouldn't really bother crushing the seeds for the oil, when the oil is available in bottle form.
You can make tea by simply pouring hot water over the seeds and letting the brew steep for 10 minutes, about a tablespoon makes a nice cup of tea, but it is better to keep the cup covered until ready to drink so as to prevent the aroma from escaping. Some people add a few seeds to their favorite tea or coffee.
Some of the benefits of black seed tea are:
- It helps keep your hair and skin healthy
- Black seed tea protects your body from dangerous free radicals like superoxide
- It helps support your cells and deal with BPH
- It may help control allergic reactions and support immunity
