Oil Pulling - What is oil pulling and how does it work?

Oil pulling is simply the act of using a high quality vegetable oil to draw harmful toxins from your mouth and gums. There are a number of different oils that can be used for oil pulling but perhaps the most commonly used is coconut oil. At room temperature coconut oil is a solid meaning it must be heated up in the mouth before you can start the process. Simply add a teaspoon sized scoop of pure coldpress coconut oil to your mouth and swill the oil for 15 - 20 minutes. Once completed, simply rinse your mouth out and brush your teeth as normal.

Oil pulling is actually an ancient practice that many people used to use and still do to help detoxify and rejuvenate their bodies. By using this technique you thoroughly cleanse and clean  the inside of your mouth. This happens because the toxins, bacteria and parasites bind to the oil, that way extracting it from the inside of your mouth you are able to dispose of it when you get rid of the oil from your mouth.

Oil pulling, very simple. You're taking coconut oil and your swishing it around your mouth 'like that' here is why this is effective; 
We all know that our mouths are full of bacteria. One if the biggest bad guys in that bacteria family is called streptococcus.

So to oil pull all you need to do is take around 1 tablespoon of the oil of your choice, put it in your mouth and swish it around. You can use a variety of different oils, but I really like using sesame seed and coconut oil as I find they taste the best.

So what you're going to do is take a spoonful of the oil and you're going to swish it in your mouth from anywhere from 5 to twenty minutes, if you're just starting out you can start with five minutes and then work up to twenty minutes by the end of the week.

Take a shower for twenty minutes or you could even dance, do some yoga or some exercise. After the twenty minutes are up you can just spit the oil out. Don't swallow it as it will contain a lot of toxins. I tend to wash my mouth with warm salt water after using the oil but that's optional.
