Wood Pressed Sesame Oil-5L

Description

Tamil Nadu’s most sacred oil — cold pressed, never compromised

Our wood pressed sesame oil is slow-extracted from premium white sesame seeds (til) using a traditional marachekku (wooden ghani) at below 40°C — locking in sesamol, sesamin, sesamolin, and natural Vitamin E that are completely destroyed by heat-based refining. Sourced from sesame farms across the Tenkasi and Salem belts of Tamil Nadu, every batch is unrefined, unfiltered, and free from chemical solvents or bleaching agents.

Revered in Ayurveda as taila — the foundational healing oil — and used in Tamil culture for Karthigai Deepam, Aadi Perukku, and daily Abhyanga massage, this is the oil that has nourished generations of South Indian families for over 2,000 years.

How to use

🌟 Why Our Wood Pressed Sesame Oil Belongs in Your Home

🪵 Traditional Cold Pressing with Karupatti

Mass-produced sesame oils go through extreme heat refinement and chemical neutralizers that strip away essential properties. Our oil is slowly crushed in wooden ghanis running at low speeds to keep extraction temperatures below 40°C. The addition of traditional palm jaggery binds the seeds perfectly, imparting a smooth, delicate flavor profile and deep golden hue unique to real South Indian Nallennai.

Loaded with Strong Antioxidants

Pure, unrefined sesame oil is naturally packed with unique, powerful antioxidants like sesamol and sesamin. These compounds work together to boost heart function, stabilize healthy cholesterol, and offer strong anti-inflammatory properties that guard your body’s cellular health from the inside out.

Ideal Base for Daily Oil Pulling

Highly praised by Ayurveda and Siddha medicine, this raw oil acts as a powerful natural shield for oral hygiene. Swishing a spoonful every morning traps harmful mouth bacteria, significantly lowers plaque buildup, strengthens gums, and naturally freshens your breath.

Multi-Purpose Routines: How to Use

• The Ultimate Podi Partner: Stir a generous splash of raw, unrefined gingelly oil into your morning Idli Milagai Podi. The rich, nutty contrast forms a timeless breakfast pairing.
