10 Foods That Fight Inflammation
Inflammation Fighting Food #8: Sesame Oil
Sesame oil is an oil extracted from sesame seeds. It is often used for cooking purposes in Indian, African, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Besides cooking, it is also used in Ayurvedic medicine for massaging purposes as it is believed to help rid the body of heat.
Just like nuts and seeds, sesame oil can produce an allergic reaction. However, it is rare and is estimated to affect only 0.1 percent of the population. It may help fight inflammation as sesame oil consumption have been shown to reduce the production of thromboxanes, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes.
