Natural Therapy Pages: I'm Kat from NTPagesTV, and I'm here with Shakira from Axpo. How are you, Shakira?
Shakira Salahudeen: Good, thank you Kat. How are you?
NTP: Very well. You've got a lovely stand here.
SS: Yes. Our company name is Axpo, and we're here to market a new product range called Hab Shifa. Our primary product is a black seed oil.
NTP: How does that work?
SS: The black seed oil has been in use for thousands of years now. It's only really in the last 50 years or so that studies have gone into the science behind the oil. And the studies have really ranged from the black seed oil alleviating symptoms of allergies, asthma, headaches, you name it, it's there. At the moment, I think there are something two hundred or so scientific studies. So, the oil can be used for topical, topical use or injection and smell. At the moment, we've just got the neat oil, so it's a hundred percent pure Nigella sativa oil. And, we will soon be getting it in capsule form as well.
NTP: Oh, great. So, you've got a whole different options for taking it.
SS: That's right. Yes.
NTP: Wonderful. And where can we actually get the products from?
SS: So, they'll be available in your major health food stores. At the moment, our oil is available in 70 stores across Australia, and soon you'll be seeing the flaxseed oil in three different size ranges. You've got 250ml, 125 and 60ml. And, we'll also be going into a facial care range. Facial and body care, so we've got a shower gel, moisturising lotion, and a rescue oil. That's mainly for topical use, and that will aid in the assistance of healing scars, wounds, rashes, that kind of thing.
NTP: Sounds very beneficial.
SS: Yes, it is a fantastic product.
NTP: And have you got a website for more information?
SS: Yes, www.habshifa.com.au.
NTP: Great! Thanks Shakira. Thanks for your time.
SS: Thank you.
