Guest guest Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 Theoretically, on any "raw"surface, cocoanut oil is bettter than sesame oil.Sesame is "pittavardhak" ( increases ) burning , while cocoanut is "pitta shamanak" ( decreases ) Both as oils, obviously would have the property of the oil--to decrease any friction / edema, etc...., but between the two, cocoanut is better.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Thank you for the information. My question now is whether I can overdo it. I've read that jala neti should only be done four times per day but I need to irrigate my sinuses every hour for the respite my throat needs to heal. If I do it at that frequency will I be creating additional problems, especially from cocoanut oil. Thank you, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
