The consumption of sesame, sesame oil, and sesame products is not a new phenomenon and dates back to many years ago; when great civilizations used it in traditional medicine and to treat various diseases. In previous blogs, we have sporadically discussed the health benefits of sesame and sesame products, but in this blog we intend to discuss the uses of sesame in various traditional medicine.<\/p>\n\n

Sesame in Iranian Traditional Medicine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The consumption of sesame and sesame oil in Iran dates back to ancient times. In ancient Iran, it was common to consume crushed sesame for easier digestion of food and it was used to reduce heartburn and relieve acidity and sour stomach. Another benefit of using sesame in Iranian traditional medicine has been to reduce pain and regulate menstruation, provided it is used continuously. Using sesame as a laxative is another thing that has been popular in Iranian traditional medicine.<\/p>\n\n

Sesame in Traditional Chinese Medicine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In traditional Chinese medicine, sesame and its oil are considered a solution for treating blurred vision, ringing in the ears, and dizziness. Daily consumption of sesame is also recommended to increase hair growth and prevent premature graying of hair.<\/p>\n\n

Sesame in Traditional Indian Medicine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sesame plays a significant role in Indian culture and is considered a \u201csymbol of immortality.\u201d According to ancient Indian belief, when the inside of the nose is lubricated with sesame oil, it can relieve anxiety and insomnia, and when massaged on the head, it can relieve headaches. This oil has also been used in traditional medicine as a topical treatment for skin conditions, antibacterial mouthwash, and laxative. In traditional Indian medicine, sesame oil was considered an antibacterial that was used as a mouthwash. Relieving menstrual cramps and treating constipation are other uses of sesame and its oil in traditional Indian medicine.<\/p>\n\n

Sesame in Traditional African Medicine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The use of sesame in traditional African medicine dates back to 1500 BC. In historical texts and reports, the use of sesame oil in Egyptian medicine was one of the ways to treat problems related to the circulatory system, arthritis, nerve diseases, and removing ear pus. In Nigeria, the use of sesame leaf extract was considered one of the traditional ways to treat infections and skin problems. The use of sesame in Tanzania also has a long history: in Tanzania, a substance with antimicrobial properties was prepared from a combination of sesame oil and tree gum and used to treat various diseases. In Morocco, these valuable seeds were also consumed to relieve insomnia and increase breast milk.<\/p>\n

By producing sesame products in different groups, the Oghab Halva Factory is trying to take a step towards changing the daily diet and moving towards a healthier life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
