Organic Sesame Oil

Unit price perIn the classical Ayurvedic tradition, sesame oil holds a singular place. Known as Tila Taila, it is referred to in the Charaka Samhita as the foremost among oils, valued above all others for its ability to nourish tissues, calm the nervous system and support the body's natural equilibrium. The Sushruta Samhita and Ashtanga Hridayam confirm it as the primary oil for Abhyanga (traditional warm oil body massage), citing its unique capacity to penetrate all seven tissue layers when applied with steady, rhythmic strokes.
Art of Vedas Organic Sesame Oil is cold-pressed from certified organic sesame seeds, preserving the full spectrum of natural fatty acids, antioxidants and sesame lignans. No chemical solvents, hexane processing or artificial refinement. Its inherently warming quality (Ushna Virya) makes it the classical choice for pacifying Vata Dosha, the principle most easily disturbed by cold weather, stress and irregular routines.
For practitioners, this oil serves as the traditional base for Abhyanga, Shirodhara preparation and Snehana protocols. For personal self-care, warm a small amount in your palms, massage from head to toe using long strokes on the limbs and circular movements over the joints, and allow fifteen to twenty minutes of absorption before bathing.
