Modern medicine has uncovered how black sesame oil can support your heart, your nervous system, your metabolism, help maintain normal blood sugar balance and more.
Stress and Sleep
Black sesame oil contains high levels of magnesium and calcium, which are known to relieve stress both mentally and physically and help you to get deep, restful sleep.
Diana Herrington at Care2 identifies two additional nutrients in sesame oil that can improve sleep quality: “Sesame also contains the calming vitamins thiamin and tryptophan that help produce serotonin, which reduces pain, assists moods, and helps you sleep deeply.” Getting better sleep, and more of it is one way to maximize your overall health.
Bone Health
It is an Ayurvedic tradition to use sesame oil for bone health. Sesame oil is the only oil that has the power to penetrate all seven layers of the skin, deep into the body’s organs and tissues, ultimately strengthening the bones. This makes sesame a great choice for a massage. We know that sesame seeds are loaded with magnesium and calcium (more calcium than any other seed, in fact), which work together to maintain strong bones, and they are also high in zinc which is important for bone mineral density.Anti-AgeingChinese herbal medicine recommends the use of the seeds to delay, and even reverse, common signs of aging like loss of hearing, poor memory, grey hair, and poor eyesight. The iron and B vitamins in the seeds (and oil) help fight these age-related symptoms and fight the formation of unsightly pigments and wrinkles too.
