Black sesame oil has long been treasured in Ayurvedic medicine and traditional wellness practices. With its deep, earthy aroma and potent health benefits, this oil is more than just a kitchen staple. Anveshan's wood pressed black sesame oil offers a pure, unrefined, and nutrient-rich version of this ancient superfood. Extracted through a traditional wooden ghani method, this oil retains its full nutritional profile, flavor, and medicinal properties, making it a perfect addition to both your culinary and wellness routines.
The Traditional Wood Pressing Advantage
Unlike refined oils that lose their nutrients during high-heat processing, wood pressing ensures that the oil remains unrefined and chemical-free. Anveshan uses the age-old technique of pressing black sesame seeds in a wooden ghani at low temperatures. This method preserves the natural antioxidants, flavor compounds, and beneficial fats present in the seeds. The slow extraction also minimizes oxidation, ensuring the oil stays fresh and nutrient-dense for longer periods.
Rich in Nutrients and Antioxidants
Black sesame oil is a powerhouse of essential nutrients. It is rich in vitamins E and B complex, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron. The oil contains powerful antioxidants like sesamol and sesamin that protect cells from oxidative damage and premature aging. Regular consumption can help improve skin elasticity, maintain heart health, boost immunity, and enhance brain function.
A Natural Aid for Skin and Hair Care
This oil is a beauty elixir, cherished for its nourishing and healing properties. When applied topically, it deeply moisturizes the skin, making it softer, smoother, and more radiant. It is especially effective in healing dry patches, reducing inflammation, and calming irritated skin. The antioxidant-rich composition helps in delaying signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles.
For hair care, wood pressed black sesame oil strengthens roots, promotes healthy hair growth, and prevents dandruff. Regular scalp massages with warm oil can improve blood circulation, reduce hair fall, and restore the natural luster of hair. It is particularly beneficial for those with prematurely greying hair due to its rich mineral content.
Promotes Heart Health
Anveshan's wood pressed black sesame oil is high in mono- and polyunsaturated fats, which help in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. These fats are known to reduce LDL or bad cholesterol and increase HDL or good cholesterol. The presence of sesamol, a natural antioxidant, further protects the heart by preventing arterial plaque formation and improving blood vessel function. Regular use of this oil in cooking may support a healthy cardiovascular system.
Aids in Digestion and Detoxification
Black sesame oil is known for its ability to stimulate digestion and aid in detoxification. When consumed on an empty stomach, it can help lubricate the digestive tract, ease bowel movements, and cleanse toxins from the body. Its anti-inflammatory properties also soothe the stomach lining and promote gut health. Traditional wellness systems often use sesame oil in oil pulling, a practice believed to remove toxins and improve oral hygiene.
Supports Joint and Bone Health
The high levels of calcium, magnesium, and zinc in black sesame oil contribute to stronger bones and joints. Massaging joints with warm sesame oil can relieve stiffness, reduce inflammation, and ease arthritis symptoms. When included in the diet, it provides the body with essential nutrients that support bone density and muscle function.
Boosts Immunity and Energy Levels
With its rich blend of nutrients, antioxidants, and healthy fats, black sesame oil can be a valuable addition to your immune-boosting regimen. It energizes the body by improving blood circulation and cellular metabolism. The high vitamin E content acts as a natural immune enhancer, while the B-complex vitamins support energy production at a cellular level.
Balances Hormones Naturally
Black sesame oil is believed to support hormonal balance, especially in women. It contains plant-based phytoestrogens, which may help regulate estrogen levels in the body. This makes it a valuable natural remedy for managing menstrual irregularities and symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, fatigue, and mood swings.
Culinary Versatility and Taste Profile
Anveshan’s black sesame oil has a nutty, rich flavor that enhances a wide variety of dishes. It can be used in cooking, salad dressings, dips, and marinades. It adds depth to stir-fried vegetables, noodle dishes, and soups. Due to its strong flavor, a little goes a long way, making it an economical and flavorful choice for daily meals. It is best used in low to medium heat cooking or as a finishing oil to preserve its nutrients.
Sustainably Sourced and Locally Produced
Anveshan’s commitment to quality and sustainability is reflected in its sourcing practices. The black sesame seeds used for oil extraction are grown by small-scale farmers using traditional and natural farming methods. The oil is processed in small batches to ensure freshness, purity, and traceability. By purchasing from Anveshan, you are supporting local communities and promoting sustainable agriculture.

What sets Anveshan’s black sesame oil apart from commercial oils is its purity. It contains no additives, preservatives, or artificial fragrances. It is free from hexane and other solvents often used in industrial oil extraction. This makes it safe for all age groups, including children and the elderly.
