Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese practice, black sesame pills are a classic daily tonic food, historically prepared by repeatedly steaming and sun-drying the seeds to mellow their nature and enhance digestibility. Nine-refined huang jing (黄精, Polygonatum) is a similarly revered preparation, and sesame is traditionally paired with honey or warming herbs in longevity-style snacks. Such pills were commonly eaten in small amounts across the day, especially in autumn and winter.
