Oil pulling is a natural remedy commonly used in India. It is an oral health routine that involves swishing oil around in the mouth like with mouthwash, but for a much longer period of time.

The benefits of oil pulling may include:

-The reduction of inflammation.

-Combating harmful bacteria. The mouth has hundreds of bacteria. Some can lead to tooth decay, bad breath, and gum disease.

-Helpful in the prevention of cavities and can help whiten teeth.

Here's How:

To pull oil with coconut oil, place a tablespoon of organic coconut oil in the mouth (organic sesame oil or olive oil are okay too). After swishing it through your teeth and in your mouth for 15-20 minutes, spit coconut oil into the garbage. Do not swallow it. Some recommendations suggest brushing the teeth immediately after, however, some believe it's better not to brush right away to allow the retention of good bacteria and the re-balancing of the oral microbiome.
