Sesame oil massage is great to balance out the doshas, and is the best oil for absorption into and underneath the skin, aiding in drawing toxins out of our joints. But does it aid in healing a broken bone once the cast is off?
I recently broke my wrist. The cast has just come off and I am looking for ways to accelerate the healing process, and am curious if anyone knows whether sesame oil would be functional in the healing process...? I know sesame oil balances the doshas, and is well absorbed by the body, but does it absorb right down to bone level? Would thorough sesame oil massages on my wrist aid in its healing? My logic tells me yes, it will aid the healing process, especially since Ive heard sesame oil goes right down into the joint. What do YOU think??
Hmm...that’s a great question Amanda.
Since sesame seeds are a splendid source of calcium. I think that a sesame oil massage would be wonderful for healing bones.
I’m not sure how direct the transfer of oil to bone would be - because when the oil penetrates the skin, it enters the bloodstream through the capillaries.
I imagine that having a rich source of calcium in the immediate area would speed the delivery to the injured bone.
Also - it’s great that you love to be outside in the sun - because vitamin D is crucial for the body’s absorption of calcium.
happy healing,
Sonja
