What is Oil Pulling?

At first when I heard about Oil Pulling I was like "What is that?" The word Oil Pulling might sound like a strange and excruciating thing. Oil Pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic technique for detoxing. Oil pulling really helps with oral hygiene and many other ailments like: Tooth Whitening, Mouth & Gum Disease, Stiff Joints, Allergies, Asthma, High Blood Sugar, Constipation; Migraines, Bronchitis, Eczema and more!
  • All you do is take 2 teaspoon of sesame oil or coconut oil and swish it around your mouth for 15-20 minutes. (Make sure the oil is organic. I bought mine at Whole foods)
  • Do not gargle with the oil. You do not want to risk swallowing it. 
  • Once done swishing, spit the oil out into a trash bag or plastic cup. (Don't spit it out in your toilet or sink it might clog it.)
  •  Finish by brushing your teeth and rinsing with water.
After doing the oil pulling, I notice a couple days later my teeth was whitened and my gums were pink and healthy. I'm all for taking care of your body naturally. You can either oil pull in the morning before you brush your teeth or before you go to bed. Remember I'm not a doctor or dentist so check with your physician first! So if you want a natural way of getting your teeth whitened and also detox your mouth & body. Then try oil pulling ! Check out a video below more about Oil pulling! Let me know if it works!
