Health & Wellness Benefits

Organic Black Sesame Oil offers amplified traditional benefits due to the potency of the black seeds:

• Superior Bone Health: Traditional wisdom and modern studies suggest black sesame seeds are an excellent source of calcium and phosphorus, supporting strong bones and teeth.

• Nourishing Massage Oil: Used extensively for Abhyanga (Ayurvedic self-massage) to ground the Vata dosha, strengthen muscles, lubricate joints, and improve skin texture.

• Antioxidant Power: Contains high levels of antioxidants like sesamin, which combat oxidative stress and support cellular health.

• Hair Darkening: Historically used to massage the hair and scalp to nourish the roots and help maintain natural hair colour and lustre.

Culinary & Therapeutic Uses

• Tempering (Tadka): Used in specific regional dishes where a deeper, nuttier flavour is desired, especially for pickles and South Indian dishes.

• Ayurvedic Massage: Warm the oil and use it for daily full-body massage to promote circulation, detoxification, and calmness.

• Oil Pulling: An effective oil for traditional oil pulling due to its strong drawing and cleansing properties.

• Hair & Scalp: Massaging into the hair provides deep conditioning and supports scalp health.

Storage Tip: To preserve the potent flavour and prevent rancidity, store the oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct heat and light.
