If itching, redness and other unpleasant manifestations do not appear, you can safely try all the advantages of this unique remedy.

Storage

When choosing sesame oil, be guided by the annotation. Storage does not require special conditions, it is desirable to observe a temperature of +10 to +25 degrees. Try to use the opened package within six months.

Sesame oil is obtained from raw or roasted sesame seeds. The differences between these species are significant.

• Roasted seed oil has a dark golden brown color, attracts with a spicy aroma and frankly stimulates the appetite.
• Its counterpart, raw seed oil, varies depending on the preparation method. The unrefined product also has a spicy smell and excellent taste. This oil is obtained by cold pressing, it is desirable to store it in the refrigerator.
• After heat treatment (refining), the oil becomes yellow, with a slight nutty aroma. Such oil is stored longer, but loses many beneficial features for traditional medicine recipes and home cosmetics.

Composition of sesame oil

Like all vegetable oils, sesame oil is a high-calorie product: 884 kcal per 100 gr. product. It is interesting for humans primarily because of the high content of fatty acids. Here are the substances we find in the composition of sesame oil:

• Up to 45% omega-6, predominantly linoleic acid;
• Up to 42% omega-9, mostly oleic acid;
• Up to 15% saturated fatty acids (primarily stearic and palmitic);
• Up to 4% lignans and other components.

The structure of fatty acids varies somewhat - depending on the composition of the feedstock.

In addition, the oil contains vitamins (most of all vitamin E) and practically no mineral salts.

It is important to understand that unlike sesame seed, its oil is not a source of calcium and other trace elements, since the pressing technology does not allow metals to pass into oil. Look for calcium in the sesame itself or in sesame paste.

The benefits of sesame oil

Knowing the composition, let's evaluate why certain properties are attributed to this oil.

Lignans and cancer prevention in women and men

Let's start with lignans. Sesamin, sesamol and sesamolin - phenolic compounds of the plant compound - make sesame oil useful for oral use in the prevention of cancer, primarily breast in women and prostate in men.

Today, the estrogenic activity and antioxidant properties of lignans are being actively studied as part of the search for adjuvants for the treatment of many types of cancer, including melanoma.

Omega-6 fatty acids and diseases of civilization

Recall the high content of omega-6-unsaturated fatty acids (up to 45%) and immediately dispel the myth about the benefits of sesame oil instead of sunflower oil. Alas, a significant concentration of omega-6 makes this vegetable oil not the best choice in the daily diet.

Why is this happening? Because of the need to balance the ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 in our food. Think! On average, we consume 20 times more omega-6 than omega-3 fatty acids. While the harmonious ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 should not exceed 4:1.

Therefore, we should eat such vegetable oils where the content of linoleic acid does not exceed 30%. Sesame is not one of them, but olive oil is worth a closer look.

Otherwise, we will remain hostages of a dangerous nutritional imbalance in omega-6 - with a catastrophic lack of omega-3. Vascular problems due to progressive atherosclerosis, various oncologies, Parkinson's disease, dementia juvenile, a growing number of clinical depressions and developmental delays in children - all these formidable conditions are associated with an excess of omega-6 in the diet.

The benefits of sesame oil for the skin of the face and body

The ability to protect us from harmful ultraviolet rays is one of the most sought after healing properties of sesame oil for the skin of the face and body. Photoaging is the main cause of skin aging, reduced immunity and the transformation of harmless moles into malignant neoplasms. That's why sunscreen must be included in your day care products.

Modern cosmetology actively uses sesame oil as a UV filter in the manufacture of natural-based creams. We can use the oil pure or diluted - in the summer on the beach, applying it to the skin during sunbathing.

Effective recipes for home cosmetics

Moisturizes, nourishes, actively regenerates, harmonizes the work of the sebaceous glands and stimulates skin immunity. All these actions are inherent in sesame oil when applied to the surface of the skin.

Among the simple recipes for home cosmetics, the following are most effective:

• We soften the skin on the feet: we heat the oil in a water bath to a noticeable warmth and massage the feet with it with pushing movements. From above we put on cotton, and then woolen socks. Such warming at night will positively affect not only the condition of the skin, but also the health of the hormonal system.
• We get rid of superficial wrinkles: apply oil to a cotton swab and gently pat the eyelids, face and neck. We leave for 15 minutes, after which we get wet with the remaining oil and go to bed.
• We nourish normal and dry skin of the face: mix unrefined sesame oil with cocoa powder, apply on the face and hold for a quarter of an hour.
• We clean oily skin: dilute 3 tablespoons of turmeric with sesame oil - to a thick slurry. With this mixture, you can massage not only the face, but the whole body, especially the décolleté and back areas, where pustular rashes most often occur with excessive oily skin. At the end of the massage, leave the oil for 5-10 minutes and rinse with warm water.
• We fight cellulite: active massage techniques with sesame oil and even simple application of it 2 times a day in the morning and in the evening on problem areas will be effective - for 1 month.

Sesame oil in the treatment of lung diseases

Another recipe from traditional medicine suggests using sesame seed oil for rubbing the chest. The procedure is especially beneficial in chronic lung pathology, it helps to thin the sputum and soothes the hacking cough.

Rubbed with warm oil. Depending on the purpose of therapy, you can first rub the person, and then do a drainage massage, ending with laying in drainage positions - on both sides for 7-10 minutes. Or time the rubbing to sleep, wrapping the patient in warmth after the procedure.

Sesame oil during pregnancy

Pregnancy is a special state of the female body, when many relatives of a newly-made mother try to feed her “for two”, or offer some especially useful products.

Judging by the composition of sesame oil, it does not have significant advantages over sunflower oil, and there are also a lot of calories. Trying to add it to the diet of a pregnant woman is an empty idea when the changes will not bring significant benefits. It is better to pay attention to the sources of omega-3 fatty acids - fresh flaxseed oil and high-quality fish oil, purified from mercury.

In addition, sesame oil can be a dangerous product for a woman's kidneys and urinary tract, especially in the third trimester.

Sesame oil on an empty stomach for gastritis and constipation

One of the folk recipes says that sesame oil helps reduce acidity in gastritis. Natural medicine doctors suggest drinking it before meals, 1 teaspoon 3 times a day, one of which in the morning on an empty stomach.

Similar recommendations can be found for the treatment of constipation: drink 1 tablespoon of sesame oil - immediately after waking up. It is important to understand that drinking any oil on an empty stomach, and even drinking it with acidified water, we achieve a clear choleretic effect and bring the moment of bowel movement closer.

First of all, it is not the special composition of the oil that works here, but the time and conditions for taking the oily product. However, this method has strict contraindications. You can not drink oil in the morning for those who have gallstones, who suffer from functional reflux or GERD.

Sesame oil: harm and contraindications

Due to the high content of oxalates, both sesame oil and its oil should not be consumed by people prone to kidney stone formation, after operations on the organs of the urinary system, in conditions of an insufficient drinking regimen, during periods of stress with increased sweating.

It is especially dangerous to combine oil with foods that are rich in oxalic acid (green vegetables, parsley, beets, citrus fruits, oatmeal, gooseberries, instant coffee, chocolate, cocoa, etc.). In everyday cuisine, this means that you should not season cucumber salads, beets and any dishes with greens with sesame oil.

In addition, oxalate restriction may be indicated:

• With a delay in speech development in children
• In the 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy
• In old age
• Against the background of taking certain medications (aspirin, groprinosin, etc.).

We hope that the information we have collected has clarified the main issues, what are the benefits and harms of sesame oil and helped to figure out how beneficial it is for you and your loved ones to take it.

The benefits and harms of sesame oil

For 7 millennia, during which people have been cultivating an oil plant, or sesame, a legend has developed that its seeds are one of the components of the elixir of immortality, the fame of which has reached our days.

After all, sesame seed oil has an extremely high antioxidant activity, due to a large supply of sesamin, which helps to increase the level of vitamin E in the blood.

Sesame oil has a beneficial effect on the body

How is sesame oil produced, what are the benefits and harms of each of its varieties, and how to take it with benefit?

It is produced by cold pressing, using roasted or raw seeds of the plant.

If roasted seeds are used for pressing, the oil is golden brown in color, with a subtle nutty flavor.

Toasted sesame oil has a nutty flavor

The oily liquid from raw seeds casts shades of very light gold, but has almost no taste and aroma.

Seeds that have undergone minimal filtration “give away” their strength to a greater extent, and therefore we will tell you more about the benefits and harms of unrefined sesame oil.

Its chemical composition is distinguished by the highest content of iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium; vitamins E, B, C; phytosterols and phytoestrogens, as well as fatty acids - arachidic, palmitic, linoleic, etc.

Due to this composition, sesame oil has a number of useful qualities:

• Unrefined sesame oil frees the body from the "by-products" of metabolism, protects it from aggression from free radicals, thus preventing the occurrence of malignant neoplasms;
• In Ayurvedic medicine, this valuable product has been associated for centuries as "strengthening the body." Its laxative, antihelminthic, diuretic action is also highly valued;
• In the practice of traditional and folk medicine, it is used to neutralize the high acidity of the gastric secretion and alleviate intestinal colic, in the treatment of colitis and enterocolitis, in the prevention and treatment of helminthiasis;
• Rich in oleic acid, it is also indispensable for "thought workers". In old age, sesame oil "postpones" the development of multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease;
• The complex of substances included in it helps to establish “heart affairs”. The Omega-6 and Omega-9 present in it not only nourish the “fiery motor”, but also cleanse the vessels of “bad” cholesterol, preventing atherosclerosis and its accompanying heart ailments;

  You may also be interested in the benefits of eating chia seeds, carob, avocado, and pectin to avoid cardiovascular problems.

• Also in the "asset" of sesame oil there are compounds involved in the production of insulin. Therefore, it is often recommended to diabetics to normalize sugar levels.

The benefits of sesame oil for women are especially great.

The oil is also useful for the hematopoietic system. So three times a day, a tablespoon of it is recommended to be taken to increase reduced hemoglobin in anemia, to alleviate the manifestations of hemorrhagic diathesis in Werlhof's disease.

For medicinal purposes and beyond

The nutty aroma of refined sesame oil allows you to bring a little exoticism to traditional Russian cuisine. It is added to chilled soups and salads, meat and seafood dishes, and even cold desserts.

Unrefined oil obtained from unroasted sesame seeds is successfully used in the treatment of various ailments:

It is known that 100 ml of sesame oil fully satisfy the body's needs for calcium.

Therefore, expectant mothers, persons who have undergone various fractures, the elderly are recommended to use sesame oil on an empty stomach, 1 tbsp. in the morning.

And to increase the protective forces of the child's body, a three-month treatment regimen has even been developed, suggesting, according to age, such daily dosages (taken with food):

• from 1 to 3 years - 3-5 drops;
• 4-6 years - 5-10 drops;
• 7-9 years - 10-15 drops;
• 10-14 years old - 1 tsp

Fly in the ointment in a barrel of oil

The only "minus" of this natural oily "elixir" can be called excessive - up to 900 kcal / 100 g, calorie content. Therefore, people seeking to reduce weight, the benefits and harms of sesame oil should be weighed especially carefully. They are advised to minimize the consumption of other products - sources of fat and strictly dose the intake of sesame oil.

Sesame oil is very high in calories

But bodybuilders have put this "flaw" at the service of their health and use highly nutritious seeds and sesame oil to increase muscle mass.

Sesame oil can also be harmful if it is ineptly combined with certain medicines and foods.

The combination of sesame oil with oxalic and acetylsalicylic acid provokes urolithiasis.

Therefore, it is not recommended to fill them with dishes, the ingredients for which contain oxalic acid (cucumbers, spinach, currants, tomatoes, parsley, etc.). People taking aspirin should use it very carefully.

Also, before you buy sesame oil, you should take into account such contraindications to its use as increased blood clotting, varicose veins, a tendency to thrombosis and allergies.

How to store sesame oil?

Manufacturers extend the shelf life of sesame oil by pouring it into factory bottles and sealing them tightly. Isolated in this way from external influences, the refined product retains its nutritional and medicinal properties for 60 months. Hermetically sealed unrefined oil is usable for 24 months.

Factory sesame oil is stored for two years

The shelf life of sesame oil after opening the factory bottle is six months, provided that it is stored in a dark and chilled place.
