Why Sesame Seed Oil Is Known As the Queen of Oils. Part - 1

First time I saw Sesame oils use and came to know that in villages of Bihar (India) it was used as eatable oil in houses and even during marriage or any party for cooking food even without knowing its benefits from centuries till recent.

But now it is not in use commonly because now people think it a backward thing and are using different eatable or refined oil of different brand after seeing different advertisements of eatable oil on TV and listening Radios.

What a Health conscious people and society we are? 

And what our health department is doing in this regard? 

Sorry to say are we really modern and educated? 

In the name of old practice, are not we showing foolishness and living good and Healthy practices out from our life?

Also in vitro, sesame seed oil has inhibited replication of human colon cancer cells: ANTI CANCER RESEARCH 11: 209-216, 1992.

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.

It has been used as healing oil for thousands of years. 

Sesame oil is mentioned in the Vedas, especially in AtharvaVeda; Veda (the Vedas is a large body of texts originating in ancient India) as excellent for humans. 

Even Ancient Ayurvedic books BhavPrakash, Charak Sanhita, Susurut Sanhita etc mentions different oils for human use. 

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.
