Sesame oil used in Ayurveda
Ayurveda originated from India and Sri Lanka. Simply put, Ayurveda
``Ayurveda, which means ``science of life,'' is a combination of the Sanskrit words Ayus (life) and Veda (science), and is a traditional medicine that originated in India and Sri Lanka and has a history of 5,000 years. ”*Quoted from Tree of Life HP
Actually, I have received this Ayurvedic treatment at the Tree of Life Ayurveda Salon in Hanno, Saitama. I saw it in a magazine and really wanted to do it, so at that time there was no internet, so I was nervous and made a reservation over the phone. That was about 20 years ago. (Years pass quickly...)
At that time, I had not yet started this job and was working as an aromatherapy instructor, but I was going through a divorce and was under a lot of stress, so I talked to him about it, and he told me that it is a symbolic treatment of Ayurveda. , I had them perform ``Shirodara.''
This was a treatment in which the patient lay on his back and poured warmed sesame oil onto the hairline of his forehead at a constant rate for a while.
This also felt really good, and although my hair was sticky, I remember feeling a trance-like feeling, as if I was meditating.
I felt so refreshed afterwards, so I think it had a so-called mental detox effect.
I also received authentic Ayurveda when I went to Sri Lanka in 2007. Here too, we had Shirodara performed.
Ayurvedic doctors in Sri Lanka are reputable doctors with prestigious national qualifications, and they carefully examine my body and tell me which treatment to perform and which oil to use for the treatment. It felt like deciding.
The basics were detox using oil. The medicine they used was basically sesame oil mixed with medicinal herbs, and they used it to massage the whole body (they did it completely naked...), and then entered the box with their bodies soaked in oil. I also had them steamed with medicinal herbs.
According to them, the important thing is to eliminate toxins, and sesame oil is essential for that purpose.
The importance of detox
So many people have talked about this that I don't think it's necessary to write about it here, but I'd like to mention it anyway.
Our bodies are maintained by circulation.
New skin is born and it peels off. Then, new skin is created and peeled off.
Nutrients are taken in as food, and what is no longer needed is excreted. It also takes in new nutrients and excretes things that are no longer needed.
As long as the circulation is running smoothly, our bodies will always be fresh, energetic, healthy, and beautiful, but in this world, things are not always that easy.
As you live every day, there are things you don't like, and it's natural that you'll feel anxious and stressed. Also, you may be biased towards eating foods that put a burden on your body.
When this happens, the autonomic nervous system becomes dominant, constricting the capillaries and worsening blood circulation. When blood circulation deteriorates, used nutrients (so-called scum and garbage) cannot return to the liver and kidneys, which are the organs of purification, and remain and accumulate in various places.
When this happens, there is a lot of debris that gets in the way of the blood vessels, which naturally impedes blood flow.
In the first place, blood circulation is poor and there is trash everywhere in the passageways, making it difficult for blood containing the nutrients necessary for cells to reach every corner of the body.
When this happens, your skin becomes dry, wrinkles increase, your complexion darkens, and the number of age spots increases. Not only my hands and feet, but also my face becomes swollen, and I get further and further away from beauty. My hair is falling out or getting thinner, and I'm shocked at how old I look...
No matter how expensive skin care you use on your skin and scalp, the effects are limited.
First of all, we have to start with cleaning.
Sesame oil's blood circulation promoting effect and mineral detoxifying effect
In order to improve the flow of blood vessels that are as dirty as a polluted river, first of all, drink plenty of water to promote the flow, and massage with sesame oil is effective. is.
Sesame oil has the effect of promoting blood circulation, and your body will feel warmer than massage with other oils.
Sesame oil also contains a lot of minerals, so it is said to be suitable for massage and detoxification.
There are many types of minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, silica, iron, etc., but their common function is
・Absorbs dirt and purifies it
There is this. There is a clay pack. It uses the minerals contained in the soil to adsorb and absorb dirt from the pores to clean them.
This is off topic, but as you can see, sesame oil is rich in minerals and has the effect of promoting blood circulation.
Due to these two functions, sesame oil has been used in Ayurveda for a long time as an important oil suitable for detoxification.
Antibacterial power of sesame oil
In fact, sesame oil also has ``effects against bacteria'' and has high antibacterial properties. It is also good for fungi, so it is also used to treat athlete's foot.
When your skin is in poor condition and you have severe acne or eczema, the bacterial balance on your skin tends to be disrupted. No matter how nutritious skin care you use, it will never be effective for your skin in such a condition.
In that sense, I think that keeping your skin in a healthy state can also be considered a form of detox.
Detox with your mouth and gargle with sesame oil
A well-known method for the detox effect of sesame oil and for eliminating waste products is a technique called ``oil pulling,'' which involves gargling the mouth with sesame oil.
This is also a technique practiced in Ayurveda.
Pulling means to pull out, and it means ``drawing out toxins with oil.''
Although this is called ``gargling,'' it does not make the liquid gurgle in your throat, but rather makes it slosh around in your mouth.
The mucous membranes in the oral cavity are highly absorbent, so it is thought that bubbling for about 10 to 20 minutes allows the oil to penetrate into the body and draw out waste products from the body.
Also, this is just my imagination, but I think that sesame oil that is absorbed into the body through the mucous membranes in the oral cavity can reach the liver and suppress liver oxidation. I will provide additional explanation about this later when I talk about Sesamin.
It's very easy to do, but 10 to 20 minutes is a long time... It is said that it is best to do this in the morning, and I think it has a real beauty effect.
This is because this long period of bubbling, which can be considered ``exercise,'' can be tiring for your mouth, but it also exercises your mouth and helps prevent fine lines!
Moving around your mouth improves blood circulation, strengthens your muscles, improves your wide angle, and many other good things! You can also expect synergistic anti-aging effects.
Sesame oil is good for the liver
Finally, sesame oil contains many sesame lignans such as sesamin and sesamol. These substances have strong antioxidant power, and with their strong antioxidant power, they reduce the oxidation of the liver, which is always fully active as a silent organ and a purifying organ.
There is a well-known supplement called Sesamin, but a healthy liver means that the body is constantly being detoxified and new, nutrient-rich blood is being created and sent to the body. This means that it has a high anti-aging effect.
Detoxing is not only about getting rid of excess waste and refreshing your body, but it is also essential for maintaining a youthful and healthy mind, head, skin, and body.
So, please use sesame oil wisely and benefit your beauty and health!
see you!
