According to the 5,000-year-old tradition of Ayurveda, sesame oil normalizes vata (which is the “wind” element) and soothes kapha (the “water” element).
Translated: this helps explain how sesame can be warming, calming and can even stimulate the metabolism (more on this in a moment).
Ayurveda also believes that sesame has properties of “Yogavahi.” Yogavahi is a substance that has the quality of being able to penetrate even the deepest tissues. This is why it’s one of the most prized massage therapy oils in Ayurveda, and used in ancient Ayurvedic healing practices like Panchakarma. It penetrates your cells deeply and delivers “warm” nourishment that your body soaks up.

Sesame oil is used extensively in South India, Central Maharashtra and some parts of the north. Ayurveda prescribed sesame oil as a good fat for those suffering from joint pain. Since it has a high smoking point, it is an excellent option for Tadka. Many pickles made in central and south India derive their rich flavour from the golden Gingelly oil. In the winters, it is a good idea to use warm sesame oil as a lubricant for painful arthritic joints.
