THOUGHTS - Grab some coconut oil and start swishing. Oil pulling, or the practice of swishing oil around in your mouth for 20 minutes, is gaining popularity. Oil pullers use a teaspoon of coconut, sesame or sunflower oil. Beginners may choose to swish for five minutes and work their way up to 10 to 20 minutes every morning, or until the oil turns thin. Oil pulling is an age-old remedy that uses natural substances to clean and detoxify teeth and gums. It has the added effect of whitening teeth naturally and evidence even shows that it is beneficial in improving gums and removing harmful bacteria! The basic idea is that oil is swished in the mouth for a short time each day and that this action helps improve oral health. Just as with Oil Cleansing for the skin, the principle of “like dissolves like” applies, as oil is able to cut through plaque and remove toxins without disturbing the teeth or gums.
