Traditional Ayurvedic Use
In Ayurveda, Tila (Til) is known as a tridoshic ingredient—meaning it balances Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas when used appropriately. Its ushna (heating) nature makes it particularly useful in:
Boosting Agni (digestive fire)
Nourishing shukra dhatu (reproductive tissues)
Strengthening bones and joints
Supporting healthy skin and hair
Acting as a natural laxative
Ayurvedic classics often mention Til as a rasayana (rejuvenator) and recommend it in medicated oils, paste, decoctions, and diet for long-term vitality.
