Ayurveda, PSP-like symptoms (progressive stiffness, weakness, slow movement) are considered a Vata Vyadhi (degenerative nervous disorder). Sesame oil (Tila Taila) is highly beneficial because it nourishes muscles, improves strength, and calms Vata. Does Sesame Oil Help? Yes — it supports: Muscle strength and tone Joint flexibility Nervous system stability Reduction in stiffness and fatigue How to Use (Method) Use warm sesame oil (slightly heated) Do gentle full-body massage (Abhyanga) Focus on: legs, back, joints, and weak muscles Use slow, upward strokes + mild circular motion on joints Keep oil for 20–30 minutes, then take warm bath Frequency Daily if possible (best for Vata disorders) Minimum 4–5 times per week
