This makes them great for vegetarian and vegan diets. 2. Heart Health Sesame seeds contain an antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory compound called sesamol, which improves cardiovascular health. They are high in monounsaturated fatty acid, which helps in lowering bad cholesterol and increasing good cholesterol in the body. This prevents the risk of coronary artery disease and strokes. 3. Relief from Rheumatoid Arthritis Sesame seeds contain copper, a mineral that helps reduce pain and swelling associated with arthritis. In addition, this mineral strengthens blood vessels, bones and joints. 4. Prevents Diabetes Sesame seeds contain magnesium and other nutrients that have been shown to fight diabetes.

cancerous properties. Also, sesame seeds have been proven to help reduce the risk of colorectal tumors, and prevent colorectal cancer. 7.

It helps to get rid of skin pathogens, as well as common skin fungi such as athlete’s foot fungus. Also, sesame seed oil mixed with warm water can control vaginal yeast infections. 11. Skin Detoxifier Sesame seeds contain antioxidants that can help detoxify your skin. When sesame seed oil is applied on skin, its molecules attract oil soluble toxins ‐ just wash them away with hot water and face soap or cleanser. A very potent skin detoxifier can be easily made at home: mix half a cup of sesame seed oil with half a cup of apple cider vinegar and add a quarter cup of water; apply every night on damp face. 12. Glowing Skin Sesame seed oil keeps your skin soft and supple and retains skin flexibility. It helps with the enlarged pores on your face, and tightens the skin, especially around the nose. Sesame seed oil can also heal minor cuts, scrapes and abrasions on your skin. For a glowing skin, why not try this simple facial: massage your face with sesame seed oil; scrub your face with your favorite facial scrub, wash off with warm water, then finish with splashing your face with cold water to close the pores. 13. Babies’ Skin Sesame seed oil protects tender baby skin against the rashes, especially where skin is covered with diapers, and combats dryness of the skin. It also protects against common skin pathogens, so apply it to the baby’s nose and ears. 14. Encourage Hair Growth Sesame seeds contain essential fatty acids, such as omega‐3, omega‐6 and omega‐9. This promotes hair growth and overall health for your hair. Use sesame seed oil, especially warm, to regularly massage your scalp; it will nourish, condition and promote a healthy scalp – which will stimulate growth of your hair. 15.
