Black Sesame

[Hockeymomof3]

Does anyone eat black sesame seeds or drink black sesame tea for their hair growth/health? I have recently heard that this is used for many reasons and one is for hair health/growth/shine/darkness. I am very curious to learn more!

I started trying a spoonful a day after reading through ktani's excellent links to info. on black sesame seeds. The nutritional benefits look like they really are a good supplement for hair! I had to cut back to half a spoonful a day, though, because they .... um .... how to put this delicately? let's just say the toilet became my close friend. ;)

I usually cook with black sesame seeds, I put in salads and I coat in them fish or other foods. :D They are more usually in oriental food

Oh yes! I read that too about too much black sesame :)

Thanks for the info and thanks Ktani for the link -- I will be reading through it!

I rather like black sesame cereal (particularly Greenmax!), which is really more of a cocoa-consistancy drink. I didn't know it was supposed to be good for hair, though. The stuff's hard to get in the US, though, so I don't have it that regularly.
