- Massage into your whole body with firm, gentle pressure.

OPEN SESAME
The sesame seed is a tiny gem that packs a mighty punch, and in the form of sesame oil it is one of the most widely and commonly used products in Ayurveda. Our organic sesame seeds are harvested at just the right moment—when the outer shell opens at its peak ripeness and the sesame seed inside is revealed. Open sesame, indeed!

Love the Refined Sesame Oil. It feels so light and soft on my skin. Use it for my daily self-massage. Perfect for Pitas like me and those with nut allergies!
Thank you for your review! We also carry cooling coconut oil or Pitta Massage oil, which may be more calming for Pittas during the warmer months. Enjoy!
My clients like this oil better - as you won’t smell like Chinese food if you use it for Abhyanga!

Banyan is typically very prompt with sending orders and this is likely a USPS issue, but I placed my order on November 28, 2020 and still have not received it. USPS hasn't tracked since December 5, 2020. I phoned Banyan and was provided a discount for being late but still no update on the products. Thank you and Namaste
We're so sorry to hear about your delayed order, Drew, and completely understand your frustration! We have seen nationwide delays with all carriers this holiday season and some regions are seeing significantly longer delays than others.Thank you for your patience and understanding, and please keep an eye on your inbox as we will be reaching out to find the best solution to this issue!
I use this on my skin as a moisturizer after I shower. It soaks right in to my skin. Leaving no oily film on my skin. My dry skin has never been healthier.
I use this refined sesame oil for my home oil lamp. It lasts for nearly 4 days.
Use for abhyanga, just got my 2nd gallon.
I’ve been using this twice a day in my limbs for over a year. My skin is soft and smooth with much less dryness. Also great that this is odorless and absorbs into skin quickly.
Refined well so that it has practically no odor.
I have been using a different refined sesame oil purchased at the grocery store. The Banyan is much lighter and goes on much easier. I'm so glad I tried this.
love it! it you like the regular sesame oil, but don't want to smell like sesame all day!

I like this oil. It's light and doesn't smell strong. I use it instead of body lotion.
I am always grateful to Banyan....for the care and quality of the selections and products offered to me. This oil is great for my total body massage from crown of head to tip of toes...I am a > Vata...
Thank You Banyan

I am very Pleased with the quality of the oil. The scent is not as strong as I thought it may be also. Very happy with the oils.
I've been using sesame oil for years for my abhyanga. I find the refined sesame oil has a lighter scent and feel to it, compared to unrefined sesame oil. Both are wonderful, and have helped with my dry skin, but the lightness of the refined sesame oil has been easier to use during the summer and since I'm perimenopausal. I've also found that the refined sesame oil is wonderful for mixing combinations of oils for massage.
Thank you for your review. You may want to have a cooling around to use when you feel the need to bring some heat out of the body. Coconut, Pitta Massage oil, and Brahmi oil in coconut are great choices. Enjoy!
I have used Banyan Botanical's sesame oil for over 12 years. I do a self Abhay ha everyday in the winter and I love this oil. It's warming, the quality of it feels clean. As a rule I appreciate Banyan's commitment to quality and service.
This is the best oil I have ever found! I use it daily and the Refined Sesame Oil has no scent. In the spring I use the Almond Oil and in the summer I use the Coconut Oil. All the products are superior and I would not use anything else. It is also a great price for the product.
bought it on monday, received it on friday. most likely not as good/healthy as the unrefined one, but i wanted one that didn't smell.
Thank you Banyan for having this fine and purely organic sesame oil. It's wonderful! So nourishing for the body, scalp and hair.
I like the refined sesame oil. It does not have a strong scent and my clients appreciate that aspect as well. It penetrates well and is shipped within a few days to me.
I use this product warmed to moisturize after showering. It has a nice nutty smell and leaves my skin feeling soft.
I give myself a sesame oil massage a few times a week which leaves my skin extremely soft. I use it as a cleanse as I am a vata type and then I shower. It works great for my husband too who is a kapha type. It has a very pleasant smell and I like that its organic. I am so happy to have found this oil and plan to use it always.
It feels so good to use your refined sesame oil for my abhyanga practice. I move through the rest of my day feeling more beautiful and as though I have indulged myself. I feel as though I’m glowing!
I bought this last year to elevate my vata side for the cold season. I live in a dry-cold environment so I need all the help I can get to keep my skin moisturized and some good self love as well. It's a good push to be intimate with my body through appreciation and care. I spaced my self-massages based on when my body felt a need to take alone time. Oil pulling was every so often but never actually saw a difference. I'll for sure buying another bottle soon. Side note: I have less than a quarter left from last season when I bought it. Amazing product!
Thank you for making it so easy to take care of myself. Great quality at an affordable price.
I only use banyan botanicals oils for my ayurvedic treatments. I trust their source and purity, and the results are wonderful!
Great cleanser, moisturizer!
Great quality herbs/ Ayurvedic items delivered on time, packed well and made of the best ingredients. Thank you.
