Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Sesame oil has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In these traditions, sesame oil is considered to have warming, nourishing, and harmonizing properties. Ayurvedic texts sometimes recommend the use of sesame oil for massage (abhyanga) or as a carrier oil for herbal preparations intended to soothe the digestive system and overall well-being. However, specific references to sesame oil being used directly to treat or support nausea and vomiting are sparse and often anecdotal. While TCM and folk remedies occasionally mention sesame oil as part of broader preparations for digestive complaints, the evidence is not robust or specific. Modern scientific studies on sesame oil for the direct treatment of nausea and vomiting are lacking. Thus, its use for these symptoms is primarily justified by traditional practices rather than scientific validation, and the quality and relevance of the evidence is low.
