Store your Kshira Organics Wood Pressed White Sesame Oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its natural aroma, golden colour, and nutritional integrity. Keep the cap tightly sealed after every use. A slight natural sediment at the bottom is a sign of purity — gently swirl before use. For extended freshness, refrigeration is optional but recommended in warmer climates. Best before 12 months from the date of pressing.
Kshira Organics Wood Pressed White Sesame Oil is one of the most nutritionally complete and traditionally celebrated oils in Ayurvedic and Indian wellness practice. Cold-pressing preserves its full spectrum of bioactive compounds — many of which are completely absent in refined sesame oil.
White sesame oil is one of the richest natural sources of sesamin and sesamolin — unique lignans with potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and liver-protective properties. These compounds are preserved only through cold-pressing and are destroyed entirely by heat refining.
Rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs and PUFAs), wood pressed sesame oil supports healthy cholesterol levels, reduces arterial inflammation, and promotes long-term cardiovascular health — making it an excellent everyday cooking and wellness oil.
Sesame seeds are one of the highest plant-based sources of calcium in the world. The cold-pressed oil retains naturally occurring calcium, magnesium, and zinc — essential minerals for bone density, joint strength, and skeletal health across all age groups.
Used for millennia in Ayurvedic medicine, sesame oil carries natural antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties — supporting immunity, protecting against oral bacteria, and reducing chronic inflammation when used both internally and topically.
The Vitamin E, Omega-6, and natural lignans in cold-pressed sesame oil make it one of Ayurveda's most trusted oils for skin moisturisation, scalp nourishment, hair strengthening, and joint massage — the foundation of traditional abhyanga (self-massage) practice for thousands of years.
Use for sautéing, stir-frying, tadka, and light frying — its mild, nutty flavour pairs beautifully with South Indian cuisine, chutneys, rice dishes, and vegetable preparations. Also excellent as a finishing oil drizzled over warm dishes just before serving to retain its full nutritional value.
Swish 1 tablespoon on an empty stomach for 10–15 minutes as part of a traditional Ayurvedic kavala (oil pulling) routine. Sesame oil is the original and most recommended oil for this practice — supporting oral health, gum strength, detoxification, and fresh breath.
Apply directly to dry skin, face, or body as a deeply nourishing natural moisturiser. Its lightweight texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin soft without greasiness. Particularly effective for dry, sensitive, or mature skin — a cornerstone of Ayurvedic daily skin care.
Warm slightly and massage into the scalp and hair roots to improve circulation, reduce dryness, and strengthen hair from root to tip. Leave for 30 minutes or overnight before washing for deep conditioning — a trusted remedy for hair fall, dandruff, and premature greying in Ayurvedic tradition.
Warm gently and use for full-body abhyanga (self-massage) to improve circulation, ease joint stiffness, calm the nervous system, and deeply nourish the skin — the single most recommended daily wellness practice in classical Ayurveda.
