What is Sesame Seed Oil? (Organic & Cold-pressed)
Sesame seed oil has nourishing and cleansing properties and gives your skin and hair deep care. The oil is ideal for dry skin that is prone to pimples and for dull and frizzy hair.
Cold-pressed Sesame Seed Oil is, as the name suggests, pressed from sesame seeds (Sesamum Indicum Seed).
Benefits
Protects and nourishes skin and hair
Cold-pressed Sesame Seed Oil is a source of Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant that helps protect skin and hair against free radicals. The oil is also rich in omega-6 fatty acids and the minerals zinc, copper, magnesium, calcium and iron, which nourish and strengthen skin and hair. Sesame seed oil keeps skin and hair soft and supple and slows down the skin aging process through its nourishing and protective action.
Cleanses the skin
Sesame seed oil draws oil-soluble waste products from the skin and is therefore ideal for skin that is prone to pimples. Give your skin a thorough cleansing regularly with a mixture of 30 ml Sesame Seed Oil, 30 ml Apple Cider Vinegar and 1 tbsp Water.
Promotes hair growth
By regularly massaging the scalp with warm Sesame Seed Oil, blood circulation in the scalp is stimulated and the oil can penetrate well into the scalp. A healthy scalp and blood circulation contribute to healthy hair growth. Moreover, Sesame Seed Oil contains many antioxidants that help protect hair against free radicals, UV radiation and other stress factors, which can help prevent premature graying.
For dandruff
The cleansing action of Sesame Seed Oil keeps the scalp healthy and nourished and can help prevent dandruff. Massaging the scalp with Sesame Seed Oil can also soothe the unpleasant feeling that dandruff brings with it.
Improves the condition of teeth and gums
Rinsing your mouth daily with Sesame Seed Oil can extract oil-soluble waste products from the oral mucosa, waste products that cannot always be properly removed by regular toothpaste and mouthwash. Rinsing your mouth with oil is an ancient tradition from Ayurveda, called 'oil pulling'. Under 'How to use it?' you can read how this works.
How to use it?
Incorporate Sesame Seed Oil into your favorite DIY care products, give your scalp a deep treatment or use the oil to rinse your mouth.
Oil pulling with Sesame Seed Oil
Rinse your mouth before breakfast for 15 to 20 minutes with 1 tablespoon of Sesame Seed Oil. Do this for example before you get in the shower or get ready for work. Chew well on the oil while rinsing, as this activates enzymes that support the cleansing. Don't swallow the oil after rinsing – it's now full of waste products – but spit it out in the trash or toilet (this prevents your sink from getting clogged).
Then rinse your mouth well with warm water, possibly with half a teaspoon of salt added. Then brush your teeth as you always do and complete your cleansing by scraping your tongue with a tongue scraper.
Relaxing head massage
Sesame seed oil has a deeply relaxing effect. Massaging the hair and scalp with the oil immediately brings you to rest and can also help prevent hair loss due to stress. Optionally add a drop of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil or Eucalyptus Essential Oil for an extra healing massage. Don't forget to massage your ears nicely too.
What makes it so special?
Sesame seed oil has been used in Ayurveda, an Indian way of life and healing, as a healing remedy for centuries. The oil was even mentioned in the Vedas! Sesame seed oil nourishes, cares for and cleanses and is a beautiful ingredient to use in DIY care products.
