Black Sesame Seeds Reverse Greying & Promote Healthy Hair

In traditional Chinese Medicine black sesame seeds are considered as one of the best anti-aging foods.With a rich nutty flavor, sesame has one of the highest oil content of any seed.They come in different varieties and may be black, brown, red, and tan in colour.The nutritional composition of all sesame seeds is almost similar.Except that black variety has exceptionally high amount of antioxidants and anti-aging benefits. 
Sesame seeds are a good source of hair nourishing vitamins and minerals such as copper, manganese, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, vitamin B1, amino acids, selenium, and dietary fiber.Plus, these tiny seeds also contain natural antioxidants – sesamin, sesamolin, and sesamol.
Research suggests that antioxidants present in the black sesame seeds can counteract or neutralize the effect of free radicals that damage  cells and cause aging  (including grey hair).Chinese medicine believe that black sesame seeds have great medicinal value and are good at nourishing the kidney and liver and promoting hair growth and hair colour.According to the Chinese science, the hair is nourished by the blood and the skin receives moisture from the body’s Yin. So when there is deficiency in the Yin and the blood, it will affect the hair and the skin, causing hair loss, greying, and dry or itchy skin.Black sesame seed provides nourishment to the Yin and the Blood, thereby resolving the root cause.Along with nourishing the scalp and stimulating hair growth, black sesame seeds can promote melanocyte activity to produce melanin – the pigment responsible for hair and skin colour.
