The valuable properties of sesame seeds have become known to man since ancient times. In early mythology, for example, in one of the myths, the gods drank wine made from these seeds before creating the world. The inhabitants of Babylon used sesame seeds in cooking and drinking, baked pies from it, and also made oil from it. And Avicenna himself wrote in his works about how healing they are.

As early as one and a half thousand years BC, the Egyptians began to use oil made from sesame seeds as a medicinal product. And the ancient people believed in its healing power so much that they considered it a symbol of immortality. And not without reason. Of course, it will not give immortality, but it has considerable benefits for the human body. After all, the seeds and the oil made from them are extremely rich in various minerals and vitamins necessary for normal human life. This includes zinc, phosphorus, calcium, and especially vitamin E.

A lack of calcium inevitably affects our well-being and even appearance. Therefore, we eat cottage cheese and other fermented milk products, drink calcium-containing medications, but we don’t even realize that just one hundred grams of sesame seeds contain the daily requirement of calcium for an adult. Eating seeds in pure form, of course, is unlikely, but oil is a completely different matter. After all, it preserves all the beneficial substances it contains. Medical studies have shown that consuming just one tablespoon per day of unrefined sesame oil can triple the amount of calcium in your body. It is also rich in phosphorus and vitamin E. This means that its use prevents the development of various diseases of the nervous system and brain diseases. And for the elderly, it is simply a salvation from musculoskeletal disorders. Taking healing oil by a pregnant woman and nursing mother will not only quickly help replenish the deficiency of nutrients and minerals in her body, but will also have a very beneficial effect on the development and growth of the child. In addition, these beneficial substances in sesame oil also serve as antioxidants, slowing down the aging of living cells in the body.

It normalizes metabolism in the body, which, in turn, promotes weight loss during overweight body, and, conversely, when exhausted, it nourishes and restores the body. It is extremely useful and effective to take it for the prevention and treatment of diseases such as asthma, arthritis, osteoporosis, pneumonia, anemia, heart disease, shortness of breath, cough, liver disease and endocrine diseases.

Besides everything else, this is an excellent dietary product, and a unique medicinal drug. In Japan, India, China use sesame oil It is very widespread both in medicine and in cooking.

In ancient Eastern medicine, sesame seeds were considered almost a panacea for all ills. It must be said that modern scientific research has also confirmed that they are an excellent remedy for many diseases.

And the most interesting thing is that after a long time it does not lose its beneficial properties. This effect is achieved thanks to the cold-press technology we use in its production.

Think for yourself, in our time it is better to buy “crippling” or, at a minimum, unknown advertised tablets made in unclear where, or still turn to natural, given to us by nature itself, such useful products, produced in Russia without the use of dyes, flavors, preservatives, GMO? We think the answer to this question is obvious! Traditional medicine nowadays turns out to be much more effective and safe for you and me.

Sesame oil for children

The product has found wide application in medicine and successfully treats many diseases, but can sesame oil be used for children? Pediatricians who do not deny traditional methods suggest starting with a few drops and not earlier than the child reaches 1 year. For such babies, 3-5 drops per day will be enough. At 3-6 years, the dose increases to 5-10 drops. Children 10-14 years old – up to a teaspoon per day.

Treatment with sesame oil

Experienced doctors do not ignore folk knowledge and appointtreatment with sesame oilin some cases. Sesame seed is used:

• for asthma;
• with hyperfunction of the thyroid gland;
• for pulmonary diseases;
• at breastfeeding;
• with anemia;

• for obesity;

In Ayurveda, the ancient Eastern science of proper nutrition and lifestyle, the substance is taken both externally and internally. The dosage is strictly determined according to the body type. For some people, rubbing the oil for therapeutic massage or applying masks is suitable, while others can safely use it internally with all dishes to improve digestive processes.

How to choose sesame oil

Seed collection begins after they ripen. Branches with fruits are cut off and placed vertically in a dark place for a month. If the process is not followed, the protective capsule does not burst and a small yield of product is obtained. The species differ slightly in color - they can be dark or light. This depends on whether the seeds have been roasted or not.

Light oil is obtained from unrefined oil when cold pressed, from seeds that are not processed; its aroma and taste are not so rich. Suitable for those who have already tried sesame oil, but did not like it. For dark, roasted seeds are used, which have a strong, distinct odor. It is put only in cold dishes and used for aromatherapy. The shade does not affect the benefits or harm. Store after release for no more than a year.

Adviсe how to choose sesame oil

Various fatty acids are the main thing that requires analysis in any fat. In the reference infographic below, we have compiled basic information about important nutrients per 100 grams of product:

The most useful is light sesame oil, which is pressed from raw seeds in a cold way. It is distinguished by its bright taste and pleasant aroma.

The dark analogue is obtained from fried raw materials, the main use is exotic cooking.

Harmful excess omega-6

A little history. Since the 80s of the last century, scientists have argued that for active longevity we need to strictly cut back on animal fats, including replacing them with vegetable fats. From modification of the diet, they expected victory over the rapidly growing atherosclerosis of blood vessels.

What really happened? While limiting animal fats, we showed a voracious interest in oils from various seeds and plants. Along with the increase in their consumption, too many omega-6 fatty acids have appeared in our diet.

Why is this harmful? In excess amounts, omega-6 fatty acids support systemic tissue inflammation. And this is one of the leading causes of premature aging and destructive age-related pathologies (heart attack, stroke, oncology and senile dementia).

For almost half a century, few people made allowances for the most important facts:

• Not every vegetable oil
  safe in terms of essential fatty acids.

Harmonious ratio of omega-3 to omega-6
should not exceed 1:4.

In our current diet, this ratio reaches 1:20, or even more!

You can protect yourself from excess omega-6 if:

1. Reduce foods that contain a lot of these fatty acids.
2. Increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids.

Now let’s evaluate sesame oil and its internal use:

• It doesn't have a lot of omega-3 (unlike its flax seed counterpart), but it does have a lot of omega-6 - up to 47%. However, according to the latest scientific data, a healthy diet should be based on natural vegetable fats, in which omega-6 does not exceed 30%.
• The noticeable presence of beneficial oleic acid (omega-9) and a small amount of phytoestrogens cannot be considered a sufficient advantage. Especially when there is a very popular olive oil. It contains oleic acid up to 80%, but does not contain high concentrations of potentially dangerous omegas.

From here we immediately get several important answers to classic questions.

Is sesame oil good for you on a daily basis?

And is it beneficial to completely replace our usual sunflower oil with it? There is no magical benefit in such a replacement. Both products are loaded with potentially harmful omega-6s. By the way, this also applies to other popular relatives (corn, walnut, grape seeds).

Of the common alternatives, extra virgin olive oil is the most harmonious. It should be used instead of sunflower in dishes without heat treatment. Some exotic options are also suitable: peach pits, almond and peanut.

Is it good for children's nutrition?

Let's remember what components modern artificial formulas for feeding are enriched with.

Taurine, trace elements and omega-3. Those same healthy essential fatty acids that are so scarce in our diet. They reduce systemic inflammation and are actively involved in promoting the health of almost all organs and systems.

But first of all - the brain and nervous system. Timely speech and communication, mastering a colossal amount of knowledge and skills in the first three years of life, strong immunity and clear bowel function. This is what worries parents.

One of the main nutritional factors for the successful development of a child is a scientifically proven balance of omega-3 and omega-6. It bears repeating that acceptable vegetable oils should contain no more than 30% omega-6 fatty acids. Alas, this does not apply to the fat under discussion. And this means that we will not get any great benefits from sesame oil in children's nutrition.

Is it possible during pregnancy?

Some modern studies link speech and mental development delays in preschool children with a lack of omega-3 in the mother’s diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

We are expecting a baby and are looking for an effective replacement sunflower oil? Best choice- add cold-pressed olive oil from Spanish or Greek raw materials to salads and cold dishes and add a teaspoon of high-quality fish oil to the menu.

It is also important that sesame seeds contain a lot of oxalates, which pass into the oil and create additional stress on the kidneys. This is especially true in the 3rd trimester and for chronic diseases of the urinary tract - cystitis, pyelonephritis, urolithiasis.

The calcium myth

Remains in the pulp. Doesn't transfer. Absent. Choose any word you like. They all answer the question about the “high calcium content” of sesame oil. Only sesame and sesame paste contain a lot of calcium.

We won’t attempt to guess for what surprising reason this myth persists throughout the information on product bottles. Take this “alarm bell” into account when evaluating a manufacturer who writes something fabulous on the label - “Only 1 tablespoon covers the daily need for calcium”, “Useful for fractures, pregnant women, children, postmenopause”, etc.

Sesame oil in Ayurveda

In the east, sesame is called “sesame”, and oil is called sesame. It is still widely used today in India, Japan and China. Among Ayurvedic recipes, we constantly come across advice on how to drink sesame oil to treat the digestive system, to relieve coughs due to lung diseases and to stabilize the balance in sex hormones.

This knowledge conflicts with the conclusions of modern science that there is no particular benefit in the daily use of sesame oil. Who to believe and what logic to rely on is everyone’s personal choice.

Oral use for constipation

Out of curiosity, let’s look at the most popular advice to drink sesame oil on an empty stomach - as a way to say goodbye to constipation and improve the health of the gastrointestinal tract.

The substitution of concepts comes to the fore. Any fatty product taken on an empty stomach, especially with a glass of acidified water at a contrasting temperature, activates the outflow of bile. Which in turn enhances peristalsis and launches a regular cleansing process. Sesame oil has no particular benefit in this run-of-the-mill physiological response to fasting fats and liquids.

Massage for lung pathology

According to oriental doctors, oil massage is useful for lung diseases:

• We rub the patient’s chest with heated oil, dress him warmly and place him in the drainage position for 5-15 minutes. After clearing the throat, you can again do a light massage with the remainder of the product, wrap up and put the person to sleep - with a high headboard.

It is difficult to say which works more actively in the described scheme, but it significantly facilitates the discharge of sputum.

Beneficial use in cosmetology

The undeniable advantage of the hero of our article is the ability to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation thanks to sesamol. It is used in the production of natural cosmetics as part of sunscreens. A recipe for sun protection accessible to everyone is to apply sesame oil to the skin of the body during sunbathing.

Basic effects on the skin

It is in cosmetology that sesame oil reveals its best sides to the maximum:

• Nourishes, softens and moisturizes;
• Penetrates deeply but does not clog pores;
• Helps in cell regeneration;
• Stimulates cleansing processes;
• Normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands.

All components work to benefit the skin - vitamin E, fatty acids, lignans.

Recipes for the face

At home, for all products we use light sesame oil, obtained by cold pressing.

• Cleansing oily skin: 2 tbsp. Grind tablespoons of turmeric and sesame oil into a homogeneous paste. We use it as a cleansing gel - on the area of ​​the face, neck, décolleté, shoulders and upper back, where inflammation of the sebaceous glands often develops. Massage, let dry for up to 10 minutes, remove with warm water, rinse with cool water.
• Cellulite stages 1 and 2: We actively massage the legs and the area of ​​uneven skin on the thighs and buttocks with a dry massage brush. We direct movements along the return flow of lymph: from bottom to top, from the periphery to the center. At the end of the massage, apply sesame oil heated in a water bath. Repeat 2 times a day in the morning and at night for up to 4 weeks continuously.
• Nourishment for dry skin: Mix butter and cocoa powder in equal proportions. Apply as a face mask for 15-20 minutes up to 4 times a week.
• Maximum nutrition for aging skin: combine 3 oils in equal proportions - sesame, almond, avocado. Apply as a mask in the evenings, applying to the face and décolleté for 30 minutes. We don’t wash it off, just blot it before going to bed. In the same composition, you can replace additional ingredients by using other oils (rosehip, cocoa, olive). We carry out the course for at least 1 month, the frequency of oil treatments is up to 5 per week.
• Removing daily makeup. Wipe off excess fat with a cotton swab dipped in warm water, rinse your face with cool water and gently pat your skin with a soft towel.
• Night nutrition for any skin type: apply to face massage lines, covering the area under the eyes. Keep it on without getting wet for 30 minutes. If the skin feels too oily, gently pat dry and go to bed.
• Refreshing mask for normal skin: mix dry ginger powder (1 teaspoon), powdered sugar (1 teaspoon) and sesame oil (1 tablespoon). Apply the mixture to your face for 15-20 minutes. Remove with warm water, rinse with cool water.

Hair Recipes

• Mask for dry and colored hair: With gentle pressure, massage the skin along the partings, distribute from roots to ends, and wrap in cellophane under a warm cap. Leave for 2 hours, wash with water and shampoo. We make a mask 2 times a week for a month. The beneficial effects are especially noticeable on dull, damaged hair.
• Universal hair mask: The principle of wrapping is described above. We use sesame oil as a base and enrich it with other ideal ingredients for silky and shiny hair: olive, burdock and corn oil for general health, castor oil for problems with dandruff.

Sesame (sesame) oil is an ancient healing remedy that was used by healers back in the days of the Egyptian pharaohs. It was even included in the Ebers Papyrus, compiled by the most powerful healers of Egypt in the 16th century BC! It was also used in China, India, and Japan... However, why was it used? Sesame oil is still successfully used by many Eastern healers today. Because this product allows you to achieve results that are difficult to achieve or completely unattainable by means of orthodox Western medicine.

However, as we already know, sesame seed oil has not only medicinal properties, but also excellent culinary characteristics (taste, smell, calorie content). And our ancestors, of course, also noticed this. After all, if they figured out how to make wine from sesame seeds (and in one of the Assyrian myths, the ancient gods even began creating the world only after drinking sesame wine), then they learned to obtain sesame oil at least not later.

By the way, sesame oil has much greater potential for long-term storage than the seeds themselves. When properly stored, it does not oxidize and retains all its properties for up to 9 years! Seeds, as a rule, are stored for no more than a year. After which they become rancid and eating them is extremely undesirable.

Chemical composition of sesame oil: content of calcium and other minerals

The benefits and harms of sesame oil, as well as all its culinary advantages, depend entirely on its chemical composition.

It is generally accepted that the chemical composition of sesame oil contains a lot of all sorts of micro- and macroelements (especially calcium), vitamins and even proteins. So all this is a complete fable! In fact, sesame oil does not even contain a hint of minerals or proteins. And among the vitamins there is only vitamin E, and even then not in a “fairytale” amount, but in a very modest amount: according to different sources– from 9 to 55% daily norm consumption.

In all likelihood, this confusion occurs due to the fact that sesame oil is often referred to as sesame seed paste, which actually contains everything that whole seeds contain (with minor losses). Nothing goes into the oil except fatty acids, esters and vitamin E. Therefore, the question: “How much calcium is in sesame oil?” There can only be one answer: there is no calcium in sesame oil at all. And hope for coverage daily requirement Supplementing the body with calcium with 2-3 tablespoons of sesame oil (as some “experts” promise) is simply pointless.

If we consider the fat composition of sesame oil, we get the following picture:

• Omega-6 fatty acids (mainly linoleic): about 42%
• Omega-9 fatty acids (mainly oleic): about 40%
• Saturated fatty acids (palmic, stearic, arachidic): about 14%
• All other components, including lignans (not just fatty acids): about 4%

We indicated approximate values ​​because the composition of each specific bottle of sesame oil depends on the fatty acid content in it, which in turn depends on dozens of factors (soil, storage conditions, weather, etc.).

Calorie content of sesame oil: 899 kcal per 100 grams.

What are the benefits of sesame oil?

First of all, I would like to note the lignans (sesamin, sesamol and sesamolin), thanks to which sesame oil oxidizes very slowly under natural conditions and behaves more stably during heat treatment. But this is not the benefit we wanted to talk about. The main advantage of the lignans that make up sesame oil is their estrogenic activity, as well as their ability to fight cancer cells (they have a powerful antioxidant effect).

The presence of lignans in sesame oil suggests that people who regularly consume it significantly reduce the risk of prostate, breast and reproductive system cancer. Moreover, more recently, scientists have discovered that sesame oil helps treat any type of cancer, including melanoma.

You can often hear recommendations for using sesame oil for weight loss. Do they have a right to exist? They definitely do, because sesame oil is actively involved in regulating lipid metabolism in the body, which ultimately directly affects body weight. In addition, by including sesame oil in your diet, you thereby eliminate the causes of overeating (it saturates and nourishes the body well).

On the other hand, if you add sesame oil to a salad, pour it over a side dish, bake meat with it, and then, just to be sure, decide to drink a spoon or two of this wonderful product, then additional grams will definitely appear on your sides, stomach and buttocks , or even kilograms. In this case, you will greatly harm your body as a whole.

The benefits of sesame oil for mature and elderly women are obvious (mainly due to lignans). After all, even a small amount of this product helps normalize hormonal levels and alleviate the condition of women suffering from hot flashes.

Sesame oil is useful during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Because during these periods, a woman’s body experiences an increased need for vegetable fats, and sesame oil helps to satisfy it. Moreover, the effect of sesame oil will be visible both when used internally and externally. Because skin cells are nourished on both sides. If there are not enough vegetable oils in the diet, then stretch marks will inevitably appear on the woman’s chest and abdomen.

Speaking about pregnant and lactating women, we should probably mention children, but no specific effects of sesame oil on children have been noted. And the fact that vegetable fats are necessary for normal development and growth, in our opinion, is obvious. It should be borne in mind that children's needs for oils are minimal, and it is very easy to overdo it. An “overdose” is fraught with rashes and skin irritation.

Sesame oil has been clinically proven to:

• slows down the aging of body cells (especially for skin cells, hair and nails)
• reduces the intensity of pain during menstruation
• improves blood clotting (especially important for patients with hemorrhagic diathesis, thrombopenia, etc.)
• strengthens the cardiovascular system, helps normalize blood pressure and prevents cerebral vascular spasms
• Reduces bad cholesterol (low density) and helps the body get rid of cholesterol plaques in the blood vessels
• increases blood supply to all parts of the brain, thereby increasing its ability to remember and reproduce information
• helps to recover from physical and mental stress
• has a mild laxative effect, cleanses the human digestive system of waste, toxins and heavy metal salts
• stimulates the processes of formation and release of bile
• eliminates dysfunction of the liver and pancreas, stimulates digestion, and also protects the walls of the stomach and intestines from negative impact digestive juices and harmful substances ingested with food

In addition, sesame oil increases the absorption of vitamins supplied with food. Therefore, if you have hypovitaminosis, you should eat more vegetable salads generously seasoned with sesame oil.

Here are the benefits of sesame oil from the point of view of traditional medicine:

• boosts immunity
• helps treat pulmonary diseases (asthma, bronchitis)
• lowers blood sugar levels
• strengthens teeth and gums, reduces pain and eliminates inflammation in the mouth

Sesame oil also has other medicinal properties, but their disclosure requires external use of this product. Our article is limited to the use of sesame oil internally.

How to take sesame oil?

Traditional medicine gives many recommendations in this regard. Moreover, here as everywhere else: there are so many recipes, so many opinions. Therefore, let’s leave the subtleties of taking sesame oil to healers and healers, and here we will formulate the main ideas regarding the use of sesame oil:

• To obtain a therapeutic effect, you should take sesame oil on an empty stomach.
• There should not be too much sesame oil. Two to three spoons a day (depending on age and size) is the maximum.
• The total amount of fat entering your body per day should not exceed 1 gram per 1 kg of body weight. If there is already a lot of fat in the diet, then to take sesame oil you should exclude a certain amount of animal fat.

Harm of sesame oil and contraindications to its use

Sesame oil helps improve blood clotting. It also does not tolerate prolonged temperature treatment (carcinogens are formed, and ultimately the useful oil will turn into a decorative coating like drying oil).

In this regard, contraindications to the use of sesame oil are as follows:

• varicose veins, thrombophlebitis
• individual intolerance (including sesame)
• tendency to form blood clots
• increased blood clotting

If you are prone to allergic reactions, you should try sesame oil with extreme caution, gradually increasing the volume.

If you have any doubts about the benefits and harms of sesame oil, as well as about traditional recipes that include this component, be sure to contact your doctor or family doctor. This way you will avoid unnecessary nervousness and possible health problems.

Sesame oil in Ayurveda

There are often statements like this on the Internet: “Ayurveda recommends drinking sesame oil in the morning to stay healthy and never die.” However, they have nothing to do with reality. Because Ayurveda treatment involves a very individual approach to each specific case.

For example, Ayurveda recommends consuming sesame oil only for people with a predominant Vata dosha (and even then no more than 1 spoon per day). For those whose predominant dosha is Kapha or Pitta, taking sesame oil internally is strictly not recommended.

At the same time, anyone can use sesame oil for cosmetic purposes (externally). True, it is better for people of Pitta and Kapha types to do this with caution and not often.

How to choose and how to store sesame oil?

Sesame oil is prepared from raw, roasted and roasted seeds.

Raw pressed sesame oil is the lightest and most delicate of all. Has a light nutty aroma.

Oil pressed from roasted sesame seeds has the most intense taste and aroma.

The benefits and harms of sesame oil various types approximately the same. The differences concern mainly only taste qualities and smell. So, only you can determine which sesame oil is best for you specifically, based on your own feelings.

To be fair, we note that there is also refined sesame oil, but it’s not even worth considering seriously. Because there are much cheaper and equally safe options for “tasteless” oils suitable for frying.

It is better to store sesame oil in a cool, dark place in a well-sealed glass or ceramic container.

Use of sesame oil in cooking

Sesame oil must be present where Asian dishes are prepared at least occasionally. Spicy Chinese snacks, seafood salads, pickled vegetables, meat, meat salads, deep-fried food and even oriental sweets - all this goes perfectly with sesame oil, which in turn “gets along” well with honey and soy sauce.

If the taste of sesame oil is too rich for your dish, then it can be mixed with any other vegetable oils. As a rule, oriental culinary masters recommend mixing it with peanut oil, because it is softer in all respects than sesame oil.

And once again: do not fry in sesame oil - take care of your health!

Sesame has been known to mankind for over seven thousand years; the seeds of this plant were mentioned in the works of the ancient philosopher Avicenna as a remedy for many diseases. “Sesame” translated from New Aramaic means “oily plant.” Since ancient times, people have used sesame seeds in cooking, as well as to obtain oil, which has a pleasant mild taste and valuable health properties. IN traditional system Indian medicine - Ayurveda - it is called the best of oils and more than a hundred health recipes are offered with it. There are 20 types of sesame, but in terms of oil content (60% of the total mass), Indian sesame is the leader. In health practices, oil from black sesame seeds is more often used, and in cooking - from white sesame seeds.

Composition and benefits of sesame oil

Sesame oil is rich in substances beneficial to human health. and traditional medicine abound in recipes for remedies based on it. The most useful product is made from raw sesame seeds, which are distinguished by a variety of health properties.

Sesame oil contains many healthy fats for the body.

Sesame oil is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-9), primarily oleic and linoleic acids in approximately equal proportions. They are often called “healthy fats,” because they improve immunity, activate the metabolism and burning of harmful fats in the body, improve brain function and skin condition. The positive effects of omega-6 and omega-9 on the cardiovascular, reproductive and endocrine systems of the body are also known. However, an excess of omega-6 in the diet can lead to the development of inflammatory foci in the body, so you must adhere to a balanced diet.

Unsaturated fatty acids have beneficial effects on various body systems

Sesame oil contains vitamins known for their antioxidant and powerful immune-stimulating effects. Most of all, it contains vitamin E (tocopherol), especially such forms as alpha-tocopherol (in 100 grams 71% of the daily value for humans) and gamma-tocopherol (in 100 grams 316% of the daily value). Vitamin E is called a “female” vitamin, because it improves the nutrition of the skin and mucous membranes, muscles, heals hair and nails, and helps restore the female body during the postpartum period and after abortions. In addition, vitamin E slows down the aging process of the body and strengthens the immune system.

Vitamin E has a wide range of beneficial properties

The oil contains plant sterols that can bind and remove harmful cholesterol from the human body, and phospholipids that stimulate the functioning of the brain, liver, nervous and cardiovascular systems. In addition, phospholipids are responsible for the effective absorption of vitamins E and A.

Sesame oil differs from other oils in the content of special substances - lignans. Lignans are polyphenol chemical compounds that have properties valuable for the human body.

The main benefit of lignans is their estrogenic effect - these natural hormones are similar in their action to the human hormones estrogens, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the female body. The hormonal activity of lignans is successfully combined with a powerful antioxidant effect and makes it possible to effectively resist cancer. Research shows that sesame lignans serve as a preventive agent against many types of cancer, especially breast and reproductive cancers, and also help in the treatment of melanoma. In addition, it is lignans that protect sesame oil from oxidation under natural conditions and give it stability during heat treatment.

Black sesame seeds are especially rich in lignans and phytosterols

As for the large amount of calcium contained in sesame oil, this is an exaggeration. There is calcium in the composition, but it is very little. However, the sesame fruits themselves and sesame (sesame) paste actually contain this beneficial microelement in significant quantities. Three tablespoons of sesame seeds contain more calcium than a glass of milk. But when oil is squeezed out of seeds, most of the calcium remains in the cake.

Use of sesame oil for medicinal purposes

In Ayurveda, sesame oil plays a leading role in getting rid of ailments. First of all, it is used to cleanse the body, remove poisons and toxins, and also great value focuses on the warming properties of sesame oil. Thus, sesame oil can rightfully be found not only in the kitchen, but also in the home medicine cabinet.

Sesame oil can be called an elixir of health, because it treats many diseases

For joints

Sesame oil has the ability to penetrate deeply into the muscle and bone tissue of the body, including the bone marrow.

Therefore, it is recommended to use sesame oil to prevent osteochondrosis, arthritis, osteoporosis and other diseases of the musculoskeletal system, as well as to increase joint mobility and rapid recovery from injuries.

In addition, consuming at least one teaspoon of sesame oil per day will help strengthen bone tissue and prevent joint diseases and add strength and shine to nails and hair.

For the liver

Sesame oil has a valuable quality: the liver perceives it as a friendly substance and does not remove it from the body, due to which the beneficial elements in sesame oil restore the cellular structure of the liver. The phytosterols and phospholipids contained in sesame oil activate the formation and release of bile, thereby preventing diseases such as hepatitis, the formation of stones in the liver and biliary tract, as well as fatty liver.

Sesamin also protects the liver from damage due to alcohol and medications. Several animal studies in Taiwan and Japan show that sesame oil reduces oxidative stress in the liver. Other studies have shown that sesame oil may protect the liver from the harmful effects of paracetamol.
