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!

I've used Sesame Oil for several years and it works well for my dry skin.
I love everything BB offers and really enjoy this Sesame oil. As a V/P moving into warmer weather , it is very grounding and balances out my excess kapha from spring/winter lethargy. I appreciate the glass bottle and reusable pump. This is my go to sneha for other oils/herbs as well. Pleasant, light and balancing. Thank you BB
Sesame oil of Banyan Botanicals is an authentic product and serves to ground one’s body and mind.
My favorite in the winter
Clean and fresh sesame oil. I put in on all my joints right after my showers. Its very nourishing!
Light, good flavor, does not burn
I have been ordering sesame oil for years and always pleased with product you send. And now you are curing the oil
When I was introduced to abhyanga, I started with small bottles of organic sesame oil purchased from the aisles of Whole Foods. As my habit increased to daily abhyanga, this was clearly not a cost efficient way to go. Some smart person in my circle tipped me off to Banyan’s gallon jug of organic sesame oil. I ordered my first and have never looked back. First of all, the oil is excellent. Next, it is so nice to have a good long supply on hand for Abhy and whatever else might come up. Lastly, the cost efficiency is far superior to buying the little grocery store bottles. I probably go through three gallons a year. The oil itself is pure and earthy and wonderful. I find it is even better for my morning abhyanga routine with some essential oils mixed in - lavender and lemon are my current choices. Thank you Banyan!!
Excellent Quality..
I'm an Oncology Massage Therapist and I can't live without this oil. I use it for my oncology patients because they are extremely sensitive and this oil was highly recommended because it is organic, unrefined, and no allergy problems. I also use it personally daily. It smells amazing, glides on beautifully, and is delicious for oil pulling! Lots more benefits, I highly recommend it.
Daily body and head oil massage is a health practice I want to develop so I bought a gallon of Banyan's Sesame Oil which is very reasonable priced for a pure and healthy oil from a source I trust. Sat Nam Banyan Botanicals! Sahai Altadena, CA
This is a great quality, warming oil. I use this for warm oil Self-massages. I highly recommend this product!
Super stuff - love it
Love it!
I have been using it for last 10 years
Love the sesame oil! Using it for oil pulling and warm oil self-massages.
I love this oil! I use it every day for abhyanga and I don't have to worry one bit about the quality. As always, Banyan provides just what I need.
Our family uses Banyan’s Sesame Oil mostly for “Oil Baths” where we lather our bodies with it and, after letting it soak in, take a no-soap hot shower. This helps keep the chill of winter and wind at bay. We love what it does and we love yet another product from Banyan that is always of the highest quality.
I use this oil to hydrate my skin and then lightly shower after waiting about 30 min. The oil completely softens and nourishes my skin and it feels great!
The consistency is viscous. Not too dense and not too watery. Just right. The size fits on the side of my tub. It smells like sesame. I imagine that it tastes delicious as a cooking oil. Instead, I use it for full body massage before bed. I shower and use a mild soap after 10-20 minutes so that I don't remove it entirely. Nourishing, relaxing, and lubricating.
I trust everything that I purchase from Banyan because the quality is always wonderful. And again, I was super delighted with their Sesame Oil. It’s beautiful, rich and so cleanly made. I use it everyday, in many ways!
I love this sesame oil, I been using it for years for oil pulling, foot massage and sometimes abhyanga.
I love the good quality
Sesame oil is able to be used by everyone. I utilize this oil in my massage practice because of its tridoshic and healing properties. Great quality. I mix my own herbal oils for Ayurvedic purposes and this oil works great as a base for the herbs.
The quality of sesame oil is great. I'm originally from india and this is by far the closest in quality that we used to buy from the local cold pressed oil traditional extraction place

I’m loyal to this oil, good quality! Perfect to moisturize the skin I also use it for my hair combined with castor oil. I give my daughter a face massage with it when I’m making Nasya for her, works WONDERS! I wish you guys had loyalty points or something because I buy many products from you. And also have referred friends to your website.
Great product
