Does sesame really nourish hair?

Sesame has curing effect on hair.
Nutrients help hair growth
Sesame seeds are rich in protein. The main component of hair is keratin, and the protein in sesame can provide essential nutrients for hair growth, promote the synthesis of keratin, and help hair growth and repair.
It is rich in many vitamins, such as vitamin E. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that fights cell damage caused by free radicals around the hair follicles of the scalp. Hair follicle cell health is the key to hair growth, free radical damage can lead to decreased hair follicle function, and vitamin E can reduce this damage and promote healthy hair growth.
Sesame seeds are also rich in minerals, such as iron and zinc. Iron is a key ingredient in making hemoglobin, which carries oxygen. Hair follicle cells get adequate oxygen supply to better metabolize and promote hair growth. Zinc can regulate the secretion of oil in the skin around the hair follicles, keep the scalp clean, prevent hair follicle blockage, and is conducive to hair health.
The view of traditional medicine
In traditional Chinese medicine theory, sesame is believed to have the function of tonifying liver and kidney and invigorating blood. Chinese medicine says that "hair is more than blood", which means that the growth of hair is related to the degree of blood filling. Sesame can nourish the liver and kidney, and after the liver and kidney are nourished, it can promote the production of blood, and then improve the nutrition supply of hair, making hair more black and beautiful.
Practical application and case description
Many people find an improvement in the texture of their hair after increasing the intake of sesame in their daily diet. For example, some people originally had dry hair, and after sticking to sesame products (such as sesame paste, sesame oil, etc.) for a period of time, their hair became more smooth and shiny. However, this may also be related to the overall nutritional improvement and the combined effect of sesame.
It is important to note that although sesame seeds are good for hair, they should not be considered the only way to treat hair problems such as severe hair loss. If there are serious hair loss diseases, such as androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, etc., it is also necessary to combine medical treatment to solve the problem.
