Can sniffing sesame oil help protect your respiratory system? | ABC7

Internist Dr. Charles Elder, who practices Ayurveda, the traditional medical practice in India, says sesame oil contains anti-microbial properties and can provide an extra layer of defense for your upper respiratory system.

FYI for those who doubt. Sesame seeds - and the oil in particular - have anti-bacterial properties. The only suggestions here are oil pulling (oral cleansing) and applying to the inside of nostrils and sniffing a little to clean nasal passages. It is not meant to be inhaled into your lungs. Though it can be ingested. We do eat sesame seeds after all.

Garlic is also a powerful anti-bacterial, anti-biotic, and anti-viral! It's one of the main foods that keep people in the Mediterranean (like Italy) so healthy. The Mediterranean diet is an excellent way for all of us to stay healthy!

Inhaling oil into the lungs sounds pretty scary
