Traditional Taiwanese medicine has long employed sesame oil for its anti-inflammatory properties, using it to treat joint inflammation, toothaches, and scrapes. Sesame oil is a healthy oil, rich in monounsaturated fats, which may reduce heart disease risk factors.
Consuming this oil may help regulate blood sugar levels, especially for those with diabetes. It has also been illustrated to improve symptoms of arthritis, but research is limited to animal studies at this time.
