nourishing the nervous system. It is high in oleic and linoleic acids.

acidsand one of the highest concentrations of omega-6. It may help to
control blood pressure when used in cooking in place of other edible.
This oil contains two natural-occurring preservatives, sesamol and
sesamin who preserve his high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acid
even at room temperature. Various constituents present in the sesame oil
have antioxidant and anti-depressant properties. Therefore proponents
encourage its use to help fight senile changes and bring about a sense
of well-being.
If you’re wondering ‘what is sesame oil?’, or
‘where can I find sesame oil?’, then look no further, below we will be
exploring the many wonderful benefits of sesame oil, where to find
sesame oil and what you can do with it. Sesame seed oil is the best
ayurvedic massage oil for calming the nerves and restoring balance to a
vitiated vata. It is a rich and diverse oil whose heating energy and
broad array of vitamins and minerals bring comfort and stability to the
nervous erraticism which results from excess vata. Sesame seed oil
penetrates the skin easily and is one of the most sattvic oils and so is
a base in many ayurvedic formulations. However, even alone its wide
range of effects renders it a great oil for a variety of treatments.
Sesame
oil benefits begin with its plethora of essential vitamins, minerals.
It contains magnesium, copper, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin B6 and
vitamin E. These minerals are beneficial for a variety of conditions.
Copper provides relief for rheumatoid arthritis, zinc promotes bone
health, and magnesium supports vascular and respiratory health, while,
calcium helps prevent colon cancer, osteoporosis, migraine, and PMS.
Vitamin E has powerful anti-oxidant properties and is central to immune
system, intra-cellular communication and other cellular processes. It is
very helpful for the cleansing and restoration of damaged skin and the
revitalization of the surface membranes. In addition, vitamin E fights
cholesterol buildup in the arteries by preventing the adherence of
plaque to the vessel linings. Vitamin B6 is also an important vitamin,
essential for life and health of both the skin and nerves.
Sesame
seeds oil is primarily composed of poly-unsaturated fatty acids, like
omega-6 fatty acids, which are readily digested by the body and further
help to break down cholesterol buildup in the body. These fatty acids
make sesame oil a great dietary choice for those wishing to lower
cholesterol levels and reduce blood pressure. In addition, sesame oil is
unique in that it is both stable at room temperature and principally
composed of medium chain fatty acids, this stability is usually only
found in long chain fatty acids like those occurring in Olive oil. This
is due to the two naturally occurring preservatives sesamol and sesamin.
The
principal benefits of sesame seed oil bestow it with a yet wider range
of benefits for external application. It has heating, moistening, and
nourishing effects which are great for the skin and bones. Its heating
and moisturizing effects help to sooth and lubricate dry and rough
joints affected by rheumatism and arthritis. While these effects also
soften, tone, and clean the skin, rendering it great for a massage from
head to toe. It is regarded in Ayurveda as one of the most sattvic of
oils, as it restores balance and calm to the mind, while soothing the
nerves and tissues with its opening and rejuvenating effects. It is
known to have anti-depressant effects, and when used in massage it
brings about a thorough and grounded sense of well-being both to body
and mind.
Sesame oil is used for many types of treatments in
ayurvedic medicine, whether external, internal, and semi-internal.
Externally it is used for massage and can be combined with herb
decoctions to balance or augment their properties. In addition, there
are many benefits of Sesame oil for hair. Sesame hair oil moisturizes
and the hair and follicles, stimulates healthy growth, and enhances the
natural luster of hair. Internally, it is recommended for cooking,
especially where high-cholesterol is a concern. Further, it is used
semi-internally as a mouth wash where its anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial,
and bone supportive properties are beneficial. In this process known as
oil-pulling or oil-swishing, one rinses the mouth with about one
tablespoon of oil for 15-20 minutes on an empty stomach and then spits
it out. This helps to kill bacteria, regenerate tissue, and reduce
enamel wear caused by hyper-acidity. Sesame oil is versatile and
powerful and not surprisingly a staple of ayurvedic medicine.
Sesame Oil is:
- Warming and lubricating to the joints and nerves
- Calming to the nerves, muscles, and skin
- Cleansing and purifying, anti-microbial
- Calms the mind
Suggested Use: For
massage, apply as needed, massage gently in small and large circles
against the grain of the hair. For oil pulling, 1 tablespoon as directed
above.
