Dear list friends, A non-Indological colleague asked me whether there are any references in ancient Indian literature to the medicinal use of sesame oil.
Related: is there any Indian word in any language for 'sesame' that resembles 'shumshum', 'simsim' or 'shamashammu'? Any information concerning these two questions would be most welcome.
