Where can I order oil? I'm in a small town w/ one health food store. They have toasted sesame and safflower. But I want untoasted. I did find some extra virgin sesame at the grocery store but it says "sublime flavor & aroma for dressings & stir frying".
I was wondering if it could be rancid. The bottle is dated 2005 & I just opened it.But There seems to be a lingering smell. Is this normal? Does it go rancid? Should I refrigerate it?
I'd really like to order some sesame and sunflower. Where can I order it from?- Re: Where can I get oil? misskitty

Be careful of the sesame seed oil. I cooked with some I had in the cupboard. Later I have the most violent puke fest I've ever expirenced. Later I read the bottle which was a few years old. It said "refrigerate after opening".
I had a hard time finding sunflower oil. But I found some today at a health / organic food store and they have a couple brands. You can use safflower oil I read somewhere or peanut oil as long as its cold or expeller pressed. In fact one site said any nut oil.
Happy swishing!- Re: could it go rancid that quick? solarpowered

MoreThis is a reply to # 108,555I opened this oil friday and there seemed to be a lingering smell then too. I didn't refrigerate it, hope it couldn't go bad that quick. It is normal for this lingering smell or is it all in my head? I got some incense but don't have matches, Darn. I don't usually refrigerate my olive oil either, should I? I think I'll try the apricot oil tomarrow.

This is a reply to # 108,556I don't know. I just related my story. It did say to refrigerate it. If yours does not then you probably don't need to. My sesame seed oil did not smell funny at all, but it was definatly rancid. I thought I was going to barf my brains out.

This is a reply to # 108,556It is possible that sesame oil is just very fragrant. I know that toasted sesame oil has a STRONG smell and taste. I personally like it but I can see how others can't stand it. I don't know about untoasted sesame oil but it might be strong, too. I don't know how you can determine whether it just has a strong odor because it's sesame, or whether it's rancid.

Thanks for responding. I'm using olive oil (w/ drops oregano oil) until I can find some sunflower. I do like it better. I'm looking forward to this every morning. I start the swish, then get ready for my shower and do dry skin brushing till time to spit it out. It fits right into my schedule and makes me fell good. I decided to use the sesame for my skin and got it in my hair. I think it'll take awhile to get it out, LOL.- Re: I'm using olive oil (w/ drops or... Molly Bloom

This is a reply to # 108,585I put some sesame oil in my hair too when I read that it was good for the scalp. Yikes, half a bottle of shampoo later...really. Then I remembered when I was 11, my best friend and I slathered our hair with vaseline to slick it back for Halloween. I will never, ever forget that

This is a reply to # 108,587It's funny how we remember things like that. When I was 16 a girl asked me how I got my hair so soft and I told her I put hand lotion on it. I still feel bad cuz she tried it. But she said it worked real good. LOL
Anyway, I'm glad I didn't put very much oil on my hair but I do think it will be be nice and conditioned when it washes out.

This is a reply to # 108,589I put oil on my scalp overnight last week. It was olive oil, with some coconut oil, a few drops of sesame oil and 3 drops of oregano oil. The first wash left my hair looking wet all day as it was so moist, and smelling a bit oregano-ey. The second wash got my hair back to normal, yet very soft and moisturized. I only rubbed it into my scalp not the ends, to feed the scalp.
I like the scents of oregano and of sesame so if I go around smelling like that all day, it's not a problem - at least not for me!!!
