In Ayurveda, sesame oil (Tila Tail) is the king of massage oils — warming, Vata-pacifying, and deeply penetrating into the body's deeper tissues (Dhatus). Used for full-body abhyanga, joint pain, and dry winter skin.
Warming, grounding oil ideal for nervous-system regulation and stress-related dryness.
Anti-inflammatory linoleic acid + sesamin reduce joint stiffness with daily massage.
Reaches subcutaneous layers — used in classical Ayurvedic deep tissue therapy.
Natural antibacterial properties — good for scalp infections.
Til tail is the Hindi/Ayurvedic name for sesame oil. Same thing. Our oil is the traditional cold-pressed version, not refined cooking sesame.
Yes — cold-pressed sesame has a milder, nuttier aroma than toasted sesame oil used in cooking.
Best for Vata (cold, dry, anxious). Moderate for Kapha. Pitta types should dilute with coconut.
No. Mahanarayan is a medicated Ayurvedic oil with sesame BASE plus 30+ herbs. Our pure sesame is the base.
Cold-pressed sesame (til) oil is the original Indian body-and-hair oil — the default of every grandmother's winter routine and Ayurveda's first choice for abhyanga self-massage.
Its unusual antioxidants, sesamin and sesamol, give it natural stability and its warm, nutty character. Brewoil's is cold-pressed (kachi ghani) and lab-verified.
Mildly warming on the skin, sesame is the classic cool-weather massage oil — circulation, softness and calm in one ritual — and a sturdy conditioner for thick or dry hair.
On damp skin it seals moisture beautifully and its antioxidants lend everyday environmental defence.
Warm 2–3 tablespoons, massage the body 10–15 minutes before a warm shower. For hair, massage into scalp and lengths 30–60 minutes pre-wash, twice a week.
Sesame suits winter routines, vata-leaning constitutions, dry bodies and thick hair. Patch test first.
