Initiation
Since I was little, I have been immersed in fields, plants, flowers and nature. My father, Egyptian and owner of fields of nigella and cotton, introduced me to the love of fauna and flora.
Unaware of the virtues of the plants around me, my curiosity began to awaken when my mother gave me nigella seeds to treat my stomach aches and calm my allergies. Little by little, nigella made its way into our daily diet, thanks to the oil extracted from the seeds.
Also suffering from psoriasis since a young age, I saw my mother delicately apply black seed oil to my patches, which gradually faded over time.

Over time ...
I discovered this plant; I was passionate about his wealth; I measured the extent of its benefits. I knew that, later, I would strive to update what makes it unique.
It was then that I met Olivier Decazes, who had a unique project around the Nigelle.
Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, discover all its virtues thanks to our scientific study carried out by leading researchers from the University of Paris Saclay by clicking here .
My ambition: to create Nigella-based formulas that complement the care given to patients.

Olivier Decazes
It was thanks to a meeting that this project and this story began. I discovered Nigella during a trip to the Middle East.
I heard about this ancient plant which was part of the beauty ritual of the pharaohs, and which has also accompanied all ancient medicines until today, to the point of becoming a secret of health and well-being transmitted since 3000 years.
As soon as I returned to France, I asked Rita to work with me. She was the expert, the one who best knew the plant, its cultivation and everything it could give. Together, we decided to bring this little-known richness to life, and to create a unique range around Nigella, the plant with a thousand virtues.

The birth
From there was born L'Officine du Monde, a universe offering food supplements and oils based on Nigella. By working on the active principle of the oil, thymoquinone, we have exploited the virtues of this plant in an unequaled way, so that it meets your needs in an optimal way.
