Ibn Abi Ateeq came to see him and told a narration from Hazrat Aisha(R.A.) that the Prophet (Sallallaho Alayhi Wasallam) told about the cure in Kalonji.

Distribution in world:
Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kashmir
Flowering Period:
April-May
Chemical constituents:
In leaves and fruits of the olive tree, a phenolic seco-iridoid called oleuropein found; it is the hypotensive principle. The mesocarp (of fruit) contains about 55% of oil. Olive oil is composed, like all vegetable oils of fatty acids bound to the alcohol glycerol. Typically, the following fatty acids are found in olive oil: 66% oleic acid, 12% linoleic acid, 9% palmitic acid, 5% eicosenoic acid and 5% palmitoleic acid. Olive oil may contain up to 1.5% of an acyclic triterpene hydrocarbon, squalene.
The desired flavour of olive oil is dominated by aldehydes (hexanal and 2- hexenal). Furthermore, higher aldehydes, primary alcohols (mainly C6 compounds like hexanol, 2-hexene-1-ol, 3-hexene-1-ol) and their acetic acid esters contribute to the characteristic olive oil aroma. Lastly, hemiterpenoid volatiles were found (3-methyl butanal, 4-methoxy 2-methyl-butanethiol, ethyl esters of 2-and 3-methyl butyric acid). The flavour components, however, depend on variety and geographic origin of the oil.
