Q: What are some other health benefits of Oil Pulling? Oil pulling isn’t a cure for specific conditions, but it’s generally a detoxifier and that tends to help a wide range of issues. If your symptoms are due to emotional issues, for example, oil pulling alone wouldn’t be the whole solution. That’s why we can’t really say that a particular condition can be helped by oil pulling, because each condition can have many possible causes. But OP usually has general benefits for most people. Q: Is oil pulling good for insomnia, and other symptoms? It’s a good question that really ties in to a deeper issue of what is the real nature of a particular symptom. It’s a very common practice in allopathic medicine as well as the natural health field to use the “take this for that symptom” approach. For example, what if the insomnia is due to improper diet, or improper exercise? Maybe it’s due to a melatonin deficiency due to not enough exposure to light, or maybe an unresolved emotional conflict is creating an imbalance that interferes with the natural disengaging of consciousness from the physical body that induces sleep. For another example, if you’re chilly, it could be that you need to put on a sweater. Or it could be because you have chills from a fever, in which case a sweater may feel better but won’t really solve the problem. So you can see that the symptom is just the effect that can have many possible causes, and if a dozen people all suffer from insomnia, chances are that the causes involved will be somewhat different for each. Most approaches will just try anything to get the symptom to go away, without a rational understanding of what is really going on in that particular case. I like to bring in this deeper understanding so that people are aware that a symptom does not have a “constant nature” as Dr. Hahnemann taught. Each person’s insomnia may be an expression of a different issue, and can’t be all treated alike. That said, OP is a fairly general approach that has a wide margin of application. That’s why I talk about it in a public forum, because it can have benefits for most people without doing a more individualized assessment. Still, don’t fall into the trap of expecting a certain symptom to go away just because someone else’s did. Dr Faridaa Khan fitnfine.net
