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.

They who care for the blessings which our Mother has given us, care for the Mother herself.
