OIL PULLING
Oil Pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic dental technique.
Some of the Benefits of Oil Pulling are:
Kills Harmful Bacteria
Reduces Bad Breath
Helps Prevent Cavities
Reduces Inflammation Improving Gum Health
I've even heard reports of Oil Pulling healing cavities and helping people prevent having to get a root canal.
To do Oil Pulling: Put 1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil in your mouth and swish it around, pulling it through your teeth, for 15 - 20 minutes.
Note: I find 1 Tbsp a little difficult. You may need to do less, maybe 2 tsp.
I try to do this once a day, usually in the evening some time after dinner.
Some say to do it on an empty stomach but that doesn't work with my schedule.
To make it easer on myself, and make it more likely that I will stick to a daily routine, I make pre-measured Coconut Oil Balls.
First, it is best to use Organic UnRefined Coconut Oil.
Refined Coconut Oil has been processed and, in my understanding, is not as healthy for you.
Coconut Oil Pulling Balls
Line a cooking sheet with wax paper. Measure out 1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil and roll into a ball.
* It melts very quickly and you won't have time to to make a perfectly round ball. Just make a basic shape *
When the sheet is full, put it in the freezer and freeze for 30 minutes.
Take out of freezer and put in a container. Refrigerate immediatly.
To Use: Put one in mouth and chew it up quickly to melt, then start swishing.
