Oil Pulling

How to Oil Pull

1. Put 1-2 teaspoons of oil into the mouth. I prefer to use 2 teaspoons of organic coconut oil. I scoop it out as a solid and let it melt in my mouth before swishing.
2. Swish for 20 minutes. Apparently the timing is key, according to Dr. Bruce Fife, author of Oil Pulling Therapy, as this is long enough to break through plaque and bacteria but not long enough that the body starts re-absorbing the toxins and bacteria. The oil will get thicker and milky as it mixed with saliva during this time and it should be creamy-white when spit out.
3. Spit oil into the trash can.  Do not swallow the oil as it is hopefully full of bacteria, toxins and pus that are now not in the mouth!
4. Rinse well with warm water. Warm water seems to clean the mouth better  I swish a few times with warm water to get any remaining oil out of my mouth.
5. Brush well. 

           Directions from Wellness Mama 

           It will be hard to keep it going the first few times for the full 20 minutes but stick with it and try it for 10 minutes and work your way up.

Why should we oil pull ?
