Sesame seeds are one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world, known not only for their rich, nutty flavor but also for their exceptional nutritional and medicinal properties. While commonly used in cooking and oil production, sesame tea is a lesser-known yet potent natural health drink.

🌿 Health Benefits of Sesame and Sesame Tea

1. Rich in Antioxidants
   Sesame seeds are loaded with lignans, such as sesamin and sesamol, which protect cells from oxidative stress and may have anti-aging effects.

2. Supports Bone Health
   High levels of calcium, magnesium, and zinc help strengthen bones and prevent conditions like osteoporosis.

3. Regulates Blood Pressure
   Sesame compounds help reduce inflammation, support blood vessel function, and maintain healthy blood pressure.

4. Balances Hormones
   Lignans in sesame mimic phytoestrogens, which can help regulate hormonal imbalances, especially in women during menopause.

5. Improves Skin and Hair Health
   Rich in vitamin E, omega-6 fatty acids, and proteins, sesame tea can enhance skin elasticity and hair shine from within.
