Oil pulling, used primarily in Ayurvedic medicine, oil pulling is an old remedy which includes natural substances to clean and detoxify teeth and gums.
It has the added effect of whitening teeth naturally and evidence even shows that it may be beneficial for gum health and that certain oils may help fight harmful bacteria in the mouth!
People who experienced benefits from oil pulling say it also helped them with skin conditions, arthritis, asthma, headaches, hormone imbalances, infections, liver problems and more. However, your oral health will be improved, with less sensitive teeth and gums, and whiter teeth.
Oil pulling instructions
It is incredibly simple. Swish a couple teaspoons of vegetable based oil, such as coconut, sesame or olive oil in the mouth for 20 minutes. Then, spit it out and rinse well. This method is best done in the morning, before eating or drinking. Also it can be done before each meal in case of more dangerous
infections or dental problems.
1.Put 1-2 teaspoons of the chosen organic oil into the mouth.
2.Swish for 20 minutes. The timing is important because this period of 20 minutes is long enough to break through plaque and bacteria. The oil will get thicker and milky and it should be creamy-white when spit out.
3.Spit oil into the trash can instead into the sink. Also, do not swallow the oil because it is full of bacteria, toxins and pus that are not in the mouth anymore.
4.Rinse well with lukewarm water.
5.Finally, brush well.
This can be done with coconut oil, which is naturally antibacterial and has a milder taste than other oils. Anyone with sensitivity to coconut oil or coconut products should avoid using coconut oil in this way. Sesame oil was traditionally used in the Ayurvedic tradition and is another great option, just make sure to use organic sesame oil.
You can add few drops of essential oil to the oil you are using for oil pulling to improve the taste. You can use essential oils that are naturally found in toothpaste, such as: peppermint, cinnamon, clove, etc.
You may find it difficult at the beginning to keep a tablespoon of oil in your mouth, but you will get used to it after the first few minutes. You mouth will be cleaner and fresher after every oil pulling.
After a week, your smile will be visibly whiter and brighter.
How does oil pulling work?
Your body stores toxins in your salivary glands. When you oil pull, you increase the production of saliva and the toxins in your saliva get trapped in the oil, which you spit at the end.
With oil pulling your teeth will be whiter and smoother. Moreover you will not notice or have any plaque on your teeth.
