One teaspoon of the oil in the morning mixed with honey, one hour before breakfast. If you choose to have the ground seeds, then 1 teaspoon of the seeds, twice a day. If you have a debilitating disease, such as cancer, then the dosage is double.
Preparation of the Ground Seeds
When you buy the ground seeds, they must be heated, as the taste is very bitter. Heat the seeds in a large skillet on low heat, stirring often, as they will burn. Keep tasting the seeds until they have a bland taste. After the seeds are bland, place them in a coffee grinder and grind. Traditionally, the seeds are mixed with honey and eaten that way.
