The Benefits of Oil Pulling.

I’m all about holistic self-care practices and this is one of my favorites! Oil Pulling has amazing benefits and is a great ritual to add to your daily routine.

Oil pulling, also known as "kavala" or "gundusha," is an ancient Ayurvedic dental ritual that involves swishing a tablespoon of oil in your mouth on an empty stomach for around 20 minutes. This action supposedly draws out toxins in your body, specifically to improve oral health but also to improve your overall health.

From my personal experience, oil pulling definitely freshens the breath and gives your mouth an overall clean feel. My teeth seem to whiten a bit too. If I can oil pull twice a day I do it but if anything do it at night. I feel that is the best time to do this ritual. I like to floss before and be sure to brush after. Refrain from putting the oil down the sink after pulling. It’s not good for the drains. Check out the benefits below!

The Benefits Of Oil Pulling:

• Promotes fresh breath

• Prevents cavities and gingivitis

• Strengthens teeth and gums

• Lessens jaw pain (TMJ sufferers noted great improvement), sleep problems and sinus issues

• Promotes whiter teeth

• Alleviates headaches, hangovers and skin issues (reports have shown improvement in acne, psoriasis and eczema)

Try this for a week one to two times a day and see a drastic change in your overall oral health!

Happy Pulling!
