Can Sesame Seed Oil (carrier) be used for aromatherapy massage as well as cooking?

Is sesame seed carrier oil for aromatherapy use only and cannot be used for cooking? Or is it the other way around?


And I've read that Sesame seed and Hazelnut carrier oil (with drops of essential oil) are best for aromatherapy massage, well which do you think is BETTER?Can Sesame Seed Oil (carrier) be used for aromatherapy massage as well as cooking?
Sesame oil can be used for both, for cooking and as carrier oil.


Different cooking oils are processed to give them a longer shelf life but not sesame oil because of its content of antioxidant substances ( sesamol and sesamolinol formed from sesamolin ).


';It is also highly nutritious, rich in vitamins A, B and E as well as the minerals iron, calcium, magnesium, copper, silicic acid and phosphorus. It contains linoleic acid and alpha linoleic acid as well as lecithin, and this may go some way to explaining its benefit to the brain and nervous system. Like olive oil, sesame oil is considered good for lowering harmful cholesterol levels.';


';Sesame oil is immensely popular in India where its use in oil massage (abhyanga) is part of everyday life and an important aspect of Ayurveda. It is the favorite oil for massage as its chemical structure gives it a unique ability to penetrate the skin easily, nourishing and detoxifying even the deepest tissue layers. In fact it is said to benefit all the seven tissues (Dhatus). It is the best oil for balancing Vata but can also be used sparingly for Pitta and Kapha.';


But sesame oil may overpower a blend if not diluted with another carrier oil.
