First let me give a shoutout to Alison for sharing her process with Oil Pulling. In doing so she has unknowingly given me the swift kick in the bum to incorporate this ancient Ayurvedic practice into my life. So, with that... Day 1: of oil pulling went well. Not as bad as I thought it would be. No gagging (i have serious gag reflex) as I totally thought I would (yay! No gagging, thank goddess!) but I only made it to 12 minutes of the suggested 20 minutes because my jaw kinda got tired from all the swishing. I know the benefits of oil pulling are numerous and jaw pain is one of them - which I have chronic jaw pain due to a little habit i have when Im stressed and overwhelmed (grinding teeth and clenching jaw). I also have had dental issues since forever (I ate a lot of candy as a kid...i know i know...definitely caught up with me!) so I am excited to see how integrating this practice into my life will shift some of this dental trauma history hahahaha (im not the biggest fan of going to the dentist).
