🌿 Sesame Oil Massage Proves Effective
Recent research by pediatric massage experts at the Indian Medical University in New Delhi indicates that sesame oil (ordinary sesame oil) is the best oil for infant massage.
Experts divided 100 healthy infants aged exactly six months into four groups of 25 each, conducting a four-week massage trial. Group one, two, three, and four were massaged daily with sesame oil, mustard oil, mineral oil with vitamin E, and plant oil with vitamin E, respectively. Another 25 infants served as a control group without massage.
Results showed that sesame oil massage produced the best outcomes—improving circulation and sleep quality in infants. Mustard oil ranked second.
Expensive vitamin E-containing mineral and plant oils showed no significant difference compared to the non-massaged control group.
