Natural Mouth Wash – Oil Pulling

Oil pulling is a traditional technique used in Ayurveda to maintain healthy gums, remove plaque, and remove toxins from the body.  It is a completely harmless, simple, and cost-efficient method unlike other expensive medical treatments. The general oil used is cold pressed organic coconut oil or cold pressed organic sesame oil.

HOW TO PERFORM OIL PULLING

• Take 1 Tbsp coconut or sesame oil on an empty stomach.
• Take it in your mouth and start moving it around; try pulling it between the teeth and move it all over the gums for 15-20 minutes.
• The oil will eventually become lighter in weight as it combines with your saliva.
• Spit it out when it is thin and white. If it’s still thick and yellow; you will have to squish it around for longer.
• Do not swallow the oil.
• Rinse your mouth with warm water mixed with a pinch of celtic sea salt.
• Make sure you wash the sink with an anti-bacterial liquid.

• Improves metabolism in the morning.
• Removes toxins from the blood and gums.
• Repeated cleansing has been known to alleviate liver and digestive issues.
• Strengthens your gums and maintains strong white teeth.
• Not expensive and it’s completely natural.

 

Health starts from your mouth. Take good care of it.
