Is Sesame Seed Oil good for aging skin?
Sesame oil can be beneficial for aging skin due to its moisturizing, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and nourishing properties. It helps hydrate the skin, protect against free radicals, reduce inflammation and provide essential nutrients for a healthier and more youthful appearance.
Why does Ayurveda use Sesame Oil?
Ayurveda uses sesame oil for several reasons. Sesame oil is believed to balance the Vata dosha, penetrate deeply into tissues, moisturize and nourish the skin, provide warmth & lubrication and serve as a carrier oil for Ayurvedic formulations. Its properties make it valuable in Ayurvedic therapies, such as Abhyanga, and for promoting overall well-being. Sesame oil is considered to have a warming quality in Ayurveda. It can help alleviate stiffness, promote flexibility and support joint health when used in massage or applied topically. The lubricating properties of sesame oil can also help improve mobility and comfort.
Which Dosha is Sesame Oil for?
Sesame oil is primarily used in Ayurveda to balance the Vata dosha. It helps counteract the qualities of dryness, coldness and instability associated with Vata. Sesame oil is believed to nourish and ground the body, promoting balance and stability. However, its usage can vary based on individual needs and imbalances, so, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner is recommended for personalized guidance.
How to use Sesame Oil in Ayurveda?
Apply warm sesame oil to the entire body using gentle, rhythmic strokes before bathing or showering. This practice helps nourish the skin, promote relaxation, balance the doshas and support overall well-being. It is typically done in the morning, but, can also be performed in the evening. Nasya involves instilling a few drops of warm sesame oil into the nostrils. This practice helps lubricate the nasal passages, promote clarity of the senses and support respiratory health. Nasya is often performed in the morning but can also be done as needed throughout the day. Shirodhara, a continuous stream of warm sesame oil is poured gently onto the forehead and scalp. This deeply relaxing therapy helps calm the mind, relieve stress, balance the nervous system and support overall well-being. Shirodhara is typically done as part of a professional Ayurvedic treatment. Oil pulling involves swishing a tablespoon of sesame oil in the mouth for 4-8 minutes and then spitting it out. This practice helps promote oral hygiene, detoxify the mouth and support oral health. Oil pulling is typically done in the morning on an empty stomach.Cooking and Culinary Use: Sesame oil is widely used in Ayurvedic cooking and food preparations. It adds a unique flavour to dishes and is considered beneficial for balancing Vata. Use it in moderation and as per your dosha and dietary recommendations.
Who should not use Sesame Seed Oil?
Individuals with a known allergy to sesame seeds or sesame oil should avoid using sesame oil topically or consuming it. People with sensitive skin or certain skin conditions, such as eczema or dermatitis, should exercise caution when using sesame oil topically. It's advisable to perform a patch test or consult a dermatologist before applying it to the entire body.
Why this this different to others, beside being Organic, Ethical & Fresh-Pressed?
The 20/80 black-to-white blend creates a unique nutritional signature. Black sesame contains more lignans (sesamin, sesamolin). Cold-pressing preserves these delicate compounds, whilst the organic certification ensures zero pesticide residues.
Is it suitable for cosmetics?
Yes. The oil is cosmetic-grade and contains no harmful additives. Its high MUFA and PUFA content, combined with naturally occurring bioactive compounds, makes it suitable for facial oils, body oils and DIY skincare formulations.
What are lignans?
Lignans such as sesamin and sesamolin occur more naturally in black sesame seeds and contribute to the oil’s unique nutritional composition.
