In the vast landscape of traditional wellness, few ingredients command the respect accorded to Pure Cold Pressed Gingelly (Sesame) Oil . Revered across cultures and centuries as the "King of Oils," this liquid gold has earned its title through an extraordinary combination of nutritional richness and therapeutic versatility. Sekkadi brings you this treasure exactly as tradition dictates—cold pressed from premium country black and brown sesame seeds sourced directly from local village farmers.
What sets Sekkadi gingelly oil apart is the meticulous extraction process. The seeds are pressed alongside Karupatti, natural palm jaggery, using a traditional wooden crusher known as the Vaagai Marachekku. This slow, gentle method operates without heat or chemicals, preserving every nutrient the seeds contain. The resulting oil remains rich in essential minerals—calcium, iron, phosphorus, and copper—along with Vitamins D, E, and K.
Therapeutic Benefits and Clinical Insights
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Chronic inflammation, often triggered by free radicals, serves as a precursor to numerous diseases. Sekkadi cold pressed sesame oil provides a potent natural defense against this process. Its rich content of zinc and copper supports red blood cell production, improves circulation, and boosts metabolic function. For those suffering from arthritis, topical application of lukewarm sesame oil offers significant relief, reducing both pain and swelling in inflamed joints.
Cardiovascular Protection
With an impressive composition of approximately 82 percent unsaturated fatty acids, this oil stands as a powerful ally for heart health. The Omega-6 fatty acids it contains play essential roles in maintaining cardiovascular function. Regular consumption helps lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, reducing risk factors associated with heart attacks and strokes while supporting overall circulatory health.
Diabetes Management
Emerging clinical research highlights sesame oil's potential in supporting blood sugar regulation for those with Type 2 diabetes. Studies suggest that incorporating this oil into the daily diet over a 90-day period can help lower both fasting blood sugar and HbA1c levels, offering a natural complement to conventional diabetes management strategies.
Cancer Prevention Potential
The presence of magnesium alongside phytate—a compound recognized for its anti-cancerous properties—makes this oil a valuable addition to a cancer-conscious diet. Regular consumption may help reduce the risk of developing various cancers, providing another layer of protective nutrition.
Mental Wellness Support
The benefits of sesame oil extend beyond physical health to encompass mental and emotional well-being. It contains amino acids that facilitate the production of serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for mood regulation. By supporting healthy serotonin levels, regular use may help foster a positive state of mind and keep chronic stress at bay.
Dermatological and Oral Health
The skin benefits of sesame oil deserve special attention. The compounds Sesamin and Vitamin E work together to protect skin from harmful UV radiation while accelerating the healing process for wounds and burns. Additionally, the ancient practice of oil pulling with sesame oil strengthens gums and improves overall oral hygiene, a tradition validated by modern dental research.
