In Ayurveda, sesame oil is a powerful remedy for reducing Vata. For those who suffer from sleep disorders, as well as for general relaxation, it is recommended to use it as follows: before going to bed, apply warm oil to the soles of your feet; if you have applied too much, put on cotton socks.
According to Ayurveda, regular use of sesame oil is an excellent remedy for normalizing metabolism, eliminating Ama (undigested food and body waste) and normalizing bowel function.
