NuVerus Euforia Juice – the solution for a healthy life.

Nigella sativa is an annual flowering plant, native to southwest Asia. It grows to 20–30 cm (7.9–12 in) tall, with finely divided, linear (but not thread-like) leaves. The flowers are delicate, and usually coloured pale blue and white, with 5–10 petals. The fruit is a large and inflated capsule composed of 3–7 united follicles, each containing numerous seeds. The seed is used as a spice.

Nigella Sativa (Black Seed)

In English, Nigella sativa seed is variously called fennel flower, nutmeg flower, Roman coriander, blackseed, black caraway, or black onion seed. Other names used, sometimes misleadingly, are onion seed and black sesame, both of which are similar-looking but unrelated. The seeds are frequently referred to as black cumin (as in Bengali: kalo jira, kalo jeera, kali jeera), but this is also used for a different spice, Bunium persicum. The scientific name is a derivative of Latin niger “black”. An older English name gith is now used for the corncockle. In English-speaking countries with large immigrant populations, it is also variously known as kalonji (Hindi कलौंजी kalauṃjī or कलोंजी kaloṃjī), kezah Hebrew קצח), chernushka (Russian), çörek otu (Turkish), habbat albarakah (Arabic حبه البركة ḥabbatu l-barakah “seed of blessing”) or siyah daneh (Persian سیاه‌دانه siyâh dâne)or كلونجى in urdu. “KARIM JEERAKAM” in Malayalam.

Noni Plant

Noni is known as one of nature’s most amazing fruits. Morinda Citrifolia originated in Southeast Asia and was spread throughout the Pacific islands.  Over two thousand years ago it is believed that the ancient people of French Poly- nesia brought the Noni plant with them as a food and medicine when they colonized the islands of the South Pacific.  Natives of the Pacific used this fruit to sustain life and restore balance.  The Noni tree, and more specifically its fruit, have been scientifically studied for decades.  Some scientific studies suggest that Noni’s plant extracts have anti-fungal, anti-tumor and immune enhancing properties.  It may also be key in preventing arterial plaque formation.
