There are numerous things that we might do for our health, and one of them is known as oil pulling. It is an ancient method that is used for rejuvenation and detoxification. Although it is a relatively simple process, the results can be nothing short of miraculous. Perhaps you have heard about it but you never tried it before. It may just be time for you to rekindle your interest.
The process of oil pulling is quite simple. You put some unrefined, high-quality oil in your mouth and swish it from one side to the other continuously. Perhaps one of the most popular oils is coconut oil. You can do this process for up to 20 minutes and when you do, it attracts various toxins, bacteria and parasites that live in your mouth and lymph system. It also pulls mucus and congestion from your throat and loosens the sinuses.
Your saliva then washes the undesirable elements as they bind with the oil so they can be disposed of. When you oil pull, it also helps to re-mineralize the teeth and strengthens the gums. Here is the method used.
The traditional oil is virgin sesame oil, but many people prefer real coconut oil because of its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and enzymatic properties. It will kill bacteria in the mouth and leaves behind the healthy probiotic strains.
Scoop up to 1 full tablespoon of oil into the mouth. Allow the oil to melt if it is solidified. Swirl, push and pull the oil between your teeth, by the gums and allow it to touch every part of the inside of your mouth. Don’t allow it to come in contact with your throat, however, because it will be full of toxins at this point.
When you are finished, simply spit the oil into the sink or trash.
