What You Need To Know About Oil Pulling
Oil pulling is an ancient alternative medical practice. It is associated with a holistic system of medicine from India called Ayurveda which evolved around 3,000-5,000 years ago.
This method refers to swishing an edible oil (typically coconut oil) around the mouth for 10-20 minutes and then spitting it out. While swishing oil for over 10 minutes doesn’t sound very appealing, wait until you hear about the benefits before you rule it out.
According to a study that included 60 participants who rinsed their mouths with coconut oil, this practice reduced the number of harmful bacteria found in saliva within only two weeks. Consider that bad bacteria can lead to cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and even tooth loss, and you’ll understand why I’m an oil pulling advocate.
When practiced correctly and regularly, oil pulling can prevent cavities, reduce bad breath (quick fact: it is a condition that affects around 25% of people), reduce gum inflammation, and contribute to overall oral health. Now those 10 minutes of swishing don't sound so bad, right?
If you want to maximize the benefit of oil pulling, I’m going to give you the magic formula—combine coconut oil with essential oil mouth drops.
This simple hack can make a big difference. I don’t want to get into too much detail about the benefits of essential oil mouth drops because we’ve already got that covered in one of our posts. This post also goes in-depth about the best essential oils for oral health, so you can learn about that as well!!
Using EO mouth drops is beyond easy. You just add a couple of drops to a tablespoon of organic coconut oil (don’t settle for anything that’s not organic!) and start swishing. Our Refreshing & Restorative Mouth Drops have already got the support of many happy customers, so do check it out.
That’s all I have to report to you about the best practices for reversing cavities. This is what worked for me and I do hope that it will work for you!
Now that you know that this is not a myth but a real possibility for you,
why not give it a try?
Do it for yourself and your health. Not just oral health because a balanced diet and natural oral hygiene products will contribute to your overall well-being. Hopefully, this little pep talk will get you thinking about taking the road to natural teeth remineralization. You can do it!
