Many of the all-natural ingredients born of the earth’s bounty contain a variety of nutritive and beneficial properties. And Sesame Oil is no exception.
One of the greatest delights in life is recognizing the innate value of common ingredients that we may have previously overlooked. In the world of Ayurveda, you don’t have to be a millionaire to elevate your mind, body, and spirit. Humble ingredients, like Sesame oil, contain the secrets to good health within their delicate folds.
In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means:
Ayu = Life
Veda = Wisdom
When you put them together, you have “the sacred knowledge of life”. Ayurvedic philosophy is the original system of holistic, all-natural healing, designed to harmonize the mind, body, and spirit. Deep within these early Sanskrit texts is a wealth of wisdom and an insight into integrated wellness.
Instead of chemicals and toxic substances, Ayurveda relies on natural botanical substances, herbs, cold-pressed oils, fruits, and other natural ingredients to deliver potent nourishment to the body and mind. The emphasis is on all-natural herbal tonics, meditation, a healthy diet, and exercise.
Ayurvedic scholar
Charaka called Sesame Oil the best of all oils. As such, approximately 90% of Ayurvedic products contain Sesame oil for its balancing, nutritive effects. You’re probably wondering what makes Sesame Oil so special!
The elevated status of Sesame Oil can be traced back to the Vedic times (1500 - 500 BC). Since time immemorial, it has proven to be a versatile, nurturing agent of longevity and vitality. It is the best of all oils because it can be used so creatively, and with such alleviating benefits.
Sesame oil is commonly found in Ayurvedic tonics and elixirs. Specifically, it is an important part of the daily Ayurvedic self-massage called
Abhyanga. This therapeutic technique is the ultimate expression of self-care and holistic wellness.
Sesame oil is the trusted base for the
Abhyanga massage, thanks to its comforting, relaxing, and purifying abilities. And when the luxurious calm of sesame oil is paired with potent, powerful herbs, the nourishing properties therein are amplified.
Each of us has his/her own morning routine. It may involve your morning cup of tea or coffee to help you get going. You bathe, groom, and dress yourself. Breakfast is a sacred reminder that the body relies on consistent, nutritive nourishment to thrive.
But in Ayurveda, a daily self-massage is considered just as vital as nutritional sustenance or energizing exercise is.
This may seem curious if you’ve never experienced it for yourself, so let’s imagine what your morning - and life -
might look like if you embraced
Abhyanga, or therapeutic self-massage.
Although it is sometimes referred to as an
“anti-aging” practice, this loving act of self-care is beneficial and beautifying for people of all ages. Maybe you’ve never even considered applying massage oil to your own body. How might this look, and what about the results?
Ayurvedic daily massage can help:
If you can perform the act of
Abhyanga
in the morning,
it sets the tone for your entire day. Supporting and caring for yourself in this way sends a message to your body, mind, and spirit that you are committed to integrated wellness, peace, and holistic healing.
Imagine your new, invigorating morning routine…
Before showering, you set aside your gorgeous glass bottle of Sesame Oil-based tonic. Especially in the harsh winter months, the warmth of this oil is enlivening. It’s smooth to the touch and silky as you work it into your cold skin.
You smile at the thought of this tonic drawing impurities from your body, moisturizing your skin, and breathing life into your sore, stiff muscles. In a place of calm and reserved quiet, you set aside 5-10 minutes for the peaceful, rejuvenating act of full body massage. The entire experience is elevated by a kind, loving intention toward your body, mind, and spirit.
The herbs within the tonic amplify its comforting yet energizing nature. Although this is a time of quiet, calm, and restoration, you can feel your body coming to life with new energy, vitality, and relaxed balance. Clarity settles over you. You are ready to take on the brand-new day.
