Question about sesame massage

[Guest guest]

I have taken to massaging my feet with sesame oil every night before

bed, as I read in a Deepak Chopra book. I can really tell the next

day how much more relaxed and de-stressed I am, and it seems to help

with my runs in the morning (I have to run often because I am in the

Army and I have to keep my running skills high). I don't want to give

up the practice, however, my boyfriend does not much care for the

smell of sesame oil. He says it makes me smell like his grandma. I

am sure he does not want to sleep next to someone who smells like his

grandma. Is there another oil that will be as beneficial as sesame

but with a less offensive smell? Or is there a way to make the smell

of sesame oil less noticable? I have tried using olive oil for this

practice in the past, and although the massage itself is still nice, I

don't get the same awesome results the next day.

Thanks!

Sesame oil is very soothing and no other oil will

calm the nerves or penatrate the skin in the same way.

It is very balancing for vata.

I would suggest that you add some essential oils to

it.

Rose oil would be soothing.

Jasmine is an aphrodesiac!

Lavendar is calming and is good for sleep.

Ylang is very soothing and aphrodesiac.

Patcholi is very grounding.

This will help to mask the smell of the sesame and

give you lovely aroma.

Are you using light sesame oil? not the toasted kind right? It should

Sesame Seed Oil has been used as a healing oil for thousands of years. Sesame

oil is mentioned in the Vedas as excellent for humans. It is naturally

antibacterial for common skin pathogens, such as staphylococcus and

streptococcus as well as common skin fungi, such as athlete's foot fungus. It is

naturally antiviral. It is a natural anti inflammatory agent.

It has been used extensively in India as a healing oil, including in

experiments which showed it was useful in unblocking arteries. In recent

experiments in Holland by Ayurvedic physicians, the oil has been used in the

treatment of several chronic disease processes, including hepatitis, diabetes

and migraines.

In vitro, sesame seed oil has inhibited the growth of malignant melanoma (a

skin cancer): PROSTAGLANDIN LEUKATRINES and ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS 46: 145-150,

1992.

Also in vitro, sesame seed oil has inhibited replication of human colon cancer

cells: ANTI CANCER RESEARCH 11: 209-216, 1992.

Research shows that sesame seed oil is a potent antioxidant. In the tissues

beneath the skin, this oil will neutralize oxygen radicals. It penetrates into

the skin quickly and enters the blood stream through the capillaries. Molecules

of sesame seed oil maintain good cholesterol (HDL) and lower bad cholesterol

(LDL).

Sesame seed oil is a cell growth regulator and slows down cell growth and

replication.

In both the small intestine and the colon, some cells are nourished by fat

instead of sugar. The presence of sesame seed oil can provide those cells with

essential nourishment.

In an experiment at the Maharishi International College in Fairfield, Iowa,

students rinsed their mouths with sesame oil, resulting in an 85% reduction in

the bacteria which causes gingivitis.

As nose drops, sniffed back into the sinuses, sesame seed oil has cured

chronic sinusitis. As a throat gargle, it kills strep and other common cold

bacteria. It helps sufferers of psoriasis and dry skin ailments. It has been

successfully used in the hair of children to kill lice infestations. It is a

useful natural UV protector.

Used after exposure to wind or sun it will calm the burns. It nourishes and

feeds the scalp to control dry scalp dandruff and to kill dandruff causing

bacteria. It protects the skin from the effects of chlorine in swimming pool

water. Used before and after radiation treatments, sesame seed oil helps

neutralize the flood of oxygen radicals which such treatment inevitably causes.

On the skin, oil soluble toxins are attracted to sesame seed oil molecules

which can then be washed away with hot water and a mild soap. Internally, the

oil molecules attract oil soluble toxins and carry them into the blood stream

and then out of the body as waste.

Used as a douche mixed with warm water, the oil controls vaginal yeast

infections.

Sesame seed oil absorbs quickly and penetrates through the tissues to the very

marrow of the bone. It enters into the blood stream through the capillaries and

circulates. The liver does not sweep sesame seed oil molecules from the blood,

accepting those molecules as friendly.

Sesame seed oil helps joints keep their flexibility. It keeps the skin supple

and soft. It heals and protects areas of mild scrapes, cuts and abrasions. It

helps tighten facial skin, particularly around the nose, controlling the usual

enlargement of pores as skin ages chronologically.

Teen boys and girls have learned, wrongly, that all oil is bad for their

facial skin. Heavy oils and toxic oils and creams are bad for all facial skin.

But sesame seed oil is the one oil which is actually good for young skin. It

helps control eruptions and neutralizes the poisons which develop both on the

surface and in the pores. With sesame oil, no cosmetics are needed. The oil will

cause young facial skin to have and display natural good health.

Used on baby skin, particularly in the area covered by a diaper, sesame seed

oil will protect the tender skin against rash caused by the acidity of body

wastes. In the nose and ears, it will protect against common skin pathogens.

For children going to school, who will be in the presence of other children

with colds and sniffles, sesame seed oil swabbed in the nose can protect against

air borne viruses and bacteria.

When using the oil as a massage oil, stroke the long limbs up and down. Use

circular motions over all joints to stimulate the natural energy of those

joints.

WHY WE USE ORGANIC, COLD PRESSED OIL.

ALL creams lotions and oils put on the skin are absorbed into the tissue and

then move through the capillaries into the blood stream.

 

When poisons (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides) are use by agribusiness to

grow seed, nut and vegetable oil crops, molecules of those poisons show up in

the extracted oil. To fully extract the oils, heat and a powerful solvent,

hexane are used. Molecules of hexane can be found in commercial oils.

Heating to 450 degrees F in the extraction process changes the nature of the

oil molecule from a normal trans fatty acid to an abnormal configuration. Not

only is it abnormal, it is poisonous.

This is true of all of such currently popular commercial oils for the skin,

such as grape seed, almond, peanut and olive oils.

Commercial oils used as the base oils of skin care lotions and creams bring

whatever poisonous molecules are in the oils to the user. These are trace

amounts but they are poison to the body. The liver will extract some to be

excreted as waste but some will be stored in the body tissues. These stored

poisons do not go away.

Organic cold pressed sesame seed oil has been extracted simply by squeezing

the seeds in a big press. The process is not as efficient as using heat and

hexane, but the oil remaining from organic cold pressed seeds, nuts or

vegetables has no trace farm chemicals, no hexane molecules, no poisonous trans

fatty acids.

Organic, cold pressed seed and nut oils are substantially more expensive than

commercial oils. Though they start off infinitely better than commercial oils,

more processing must be done to complete the ayurveda protocols and make the

oils fully beneficial and appropriate for human and animal use. Those are the

protocols we follow at YOUTHING STRATEGIES.
