Sesame Oil In Ayurveda - #2950

I’ve been reading about the benefits of oils in Ayurveda, and I keep coming across how important sesame oil in Ayurveda is. I’m curious about why it’s considered so special and how it can be used for different purposes. 🌿✨ Can someone explain its main uses and how it supports overall health? I’ve been dealing with dry skin, joint stiffness, and occasional bloating, especially during colder months. Someone recommended using sesame oil in Ayurveda practices like abhyanga (self-massage), but I’m not sure if it’s the right oil for me. Does sesame oil work for all doshas, or is it mainly for Vata imbalances? I’ve read that it’s warming does that mean it could aggravate Pitta? 🔥❄️ Another thing I’ve heard is that sesame oil in Ayurveda is used for more than just massage. How does it help when used for oil pulling, or even as a base for herbal preparations? I’m particularly interested in whether it’s safe to use daily, and if it helps with deeper detox processes. Are there specific routines I should follow when using sesame oil for different purposes? I’ve also noticed that there are different kinds of sesame oil available some labeled as cold-pressed, others as toasted. Which type is recommended in Ayurveda, and how can I make sure I’m buying high-quality sesame oil? 🌸🛒 Does it make a difference if the oil is organic or processed in a traditional way? I want to make sure I’m using something authentic and effective. Lastly, are there any precautions when using sesame oil in Ayurveda? For example, I tend to feel overheated sometimes—could daily use of sesame oil make that worse? And if it’s not ideal for me, are there alternatives that work similarly but are more cooling? Any tips for beginners who want to incorporate sesame oil into their routine would be super helpful! 🙏✨
