him and said to us: 'You should use this black seed. Take five or seven (seeds) and grind them to a powder, then drop them into his nose with drops of olive oil, on this side and on this side. For 'Aishah narrated to them that she heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: "This black seed is a healing for every disease, except the Sâm." I said: "What is the Sâm?" He said: "Death." (Sahih)

Commentary
While visiting a patient, if one knows good medication for the sickness, he may inform the relatives of the patient. However, he should not advise any medication that is not tested yet.
Inhaling medicine through the nose is also a therapy of medication.
Black cumin has many advantages. Imâm Ibn Qayyim ﷺ mentioned its many advantages briefly in his book Zâdul-Mâd. Dr. Khalid Ghaznavi in his books about prophetic medicines discussed this matter thoroughly and elaborately, these books are very useful on this subject.
