The Herb

Among the oldest cultivated seeds known to Ayurveda, Til occupies a place of extraordinary reverence as a symbol of nourishment, longevity, stability, and sacred vitality.

For thousands of years, sesame seeds have been woven into the daily wellness rituals, sacred ceremonies, and dietary traditions of Bharat.

Ancient Ayurvedic physicians especially valued Til wherever Vata created dryness, depletion, weakness, roughness, instability, and lack of nourishment within the tissues.

Its naturally oily, warming, and strengthening qualities made it one of Ayurveda’s foremost substances for restoring lubrication, grounding the nervous system, supporting vitality, and nourishing deeper tissues.

Til became foundational not only in Ayurvedic nutrition but also in Abhyanga (self-massage), Rasayana traditions, reproductive wellness rituals, and seasonal rejuvenation practices.

Ayurveda recognised sesame not merely as food, but as living nourishment capable of sustaining Ojas — the subtle essence associated with vitality, resilience, and inner radiance.

Its sacred importance also extends deeply into Vedic culture, where Til has historically been used in yajnas, rituals for ancestors, spiritual offerings, and purification ceremonies.

ASLI AYURVEDA offers Til in its most authentic form — carefully sourced seeds, naturally processed, and preserved without additives or artificial enhancement.

This is not merely sesame.
This is Ayurveda’s philosophy of nourishment, stability, and sacred longevity.

What the Ancient Texts Say

Charaka Samhita

तिलाः स्निग्धा गुरुर्वृष्या बल्या वातविनाशनाः ।
केश्यास्त्वच्याश्च प्रोक्ताः धातुपुष्टिविवर्धनाः ॥

Tilāḥ snigdhā gururvṛṣyā balyā vātavināśanāḥ ।
Kēśyāstvacyāśca prōktāḥ dhātupuṣṭivivardhanāḥ ॥

“Til is unctuous, nourishing, strength-supportive, traditionally associated with balancing Vata and supporting tissue nourishment.”

हिंदी अर्थ:
“तिल को स्निग्ध, गुरु, बल्य तथा वातशामक माना गया है। यह धातु पोषण, त्वचा और केश समर्थन में पारंपरिक रूप से उपयोगी माना गया है।”

Charaka especially honours Til for nourishment and Vata balance traditions.

Bhavaprakasha Nighantu

तिलाः मधुरतिक्ताश्च स्निग्धोष्णा बलवर्धनाः ।
वृष्या बृंहणदा प्रोक्ता केश्यास्त्वच्याश्च नित्यशः ॥

Tilāḥ madhuratiktāśca snigdhōṣṇā balavardhanāḥ ।
Vṛṣyā bṛṃhaṇadā prōktā kēśyāstvacyāśca nityaśaḥ ॥

“Til is sweet, slightly bitter, unctuous, and warming, traditionally associated with strength, nourishment, vitality, and beauty support.”

हिंदी अर्थ:
“तिल को मधुर, तिक्त, स्निग्ध और उष्ण माना गया है। यह बल, पोषण, वृष्य तथा त्वचा और केश समर्थन में पारंपरिक रूप से उपयोगी माना गया है।”
