Coconut Oil for Oil Pulling

         Oil Pulling or Oil Swishing is traditional ancient remedy, which involves swishing of oil in the mouth. This process is also mentioned as one of the most important book of ayurveda “The Charaka Samhita ”. Charaka(Father of Medicine) born in 300 BC was the major contributor to ancient art and science of ayurveda. This method is also known as Kavala Gandoosha or Kavala Graha in Ayurveda. According to ayurveda, oil pulling is best for both oral health and helps in treatment of several diseases like diabetes mellitus or asthma.

        Oil pulling has very powerful detoxifying effects. Our mouth is home of bacteria, fungi, and other parasites. If you want a healthier life, then cleaning the mouth is very important.

What is Oil Pulling

         It is a cleansing technique that consists of simple oil swishing in the mouth for few minutes a day.

Method

         This process should be done before having breakfast, with empty stomach. Take one table spoon oil. It is recommended to take sunflower/sesame oil. Then swish / rinse gently in your mouth for 20 minutes. While doing so, make sure the oil reaches all corners of your mouth, but avoid swallowing of oil. As you continue this method, the oil changes its color to whitish and become thinner. This activity activates enzymes that are helpful in removing toxins from your body. After completing the process, spit the oil but don’t spit in the sink, spit it outside. Now-a-days people try it with coconut oil because of its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal property.
