SESAME OIL

Sesame is a plant grown primarily for its oil-rich seeds. The small, cream-white sesame seed is used whole in cooking for its rich nutty flavour, and also yields a cooking oil. Sesame seeds are sometimes added to bagels and the top of hamburger buns. Sesame seeds are baked into crackers, often in the form of sticks. Sesame plants are also known as til in Hindi and benne in some languages of Africa.

Sesame Seed Oil is naturally antibacterial for most common skin pathogens; it is also antiviral and antifungal. You can imagine that dried animal and even human waste littered the paths and streets 2000 years ago. Using sesame seed oil rather than water not only cleansed the feet but helped heal the nicks, cuts and abrasions which must have been common on the feet of anyone wearing sandals and walking long distances at that time. Sesame seed oil is also naturally VATA balancing. In Ayurvedic terms, that means that the build-up of excess energy in the feet, from the simple process of walking, was neutralized (in Ayurveda terms, pacified) by the action of the oil penetrating the skin and circulating into the capillaries of the veins in the foot. We've added to Ayurveda cured organic sesame seed oil, essential oils of Geranium, Lavender, Eucalyptus and Peppermint. The result is an oil which soothes, calms, heals and gently stimulates the feet. As always, plant derived Vitamin E has been added.
