Hemani Sesame Oil 30ml

Sesame Oil

Sesame is a rich, nutty edible oil that is cold-pressed from the seeds of the sesame plant (Sesamum indicum) and has a variety of health benefits.

This oil is rich in copper, manganese, calcium, magnesium, iron, selenium, zinc, vitamin E and B vitamins, and the essential fatty acids linoleic acid and palmitic acids. It is also a source of the anti-oxidants sesamol, sesamolin, and sesamin.

When taken internally sesame oil may lower the risk of heart disease by lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol levels and lowering oxidative damage.

Sesame oil is a great anti-inflammatory and hydrating skin oil that is easily absorbed and can keep the skin supple while treating dry skin, wrinkles, and signs of aging, scars and sun damage.

Directions for use

Sesame oil can be taken internally by drizzling it over food, or by taking 1 teaspoon per day as a supplement.

Use sesame oil as a skin moisturizer by applying it into the skin after a warm shower or bath and allowing it to be completely absorbed. It can also be massaged into the hair and scalp as a natural hydrating hair treatment.

Sesame oil is commonly used by itself as a massage oil, or as a carrier oil to dilute essential oils.
