“Gandoosh” or Oil Pulling

[Guest guest]

I heard of something interesting today on one of an easy way of

staying health, so I thought of sharing it with ayurveda family.

 

This is an ayurvedic procedure called " Gandoosh " or " Oil Pulling " in West.

 

" Gandoosh is used in ayurvedic medicine to clean the blood and detox

the body. As an additional benefit it will strengthen the teeth in the

gums and may even make them whiter. It is also a good exercise for

strengthening the jaw. The oil must NEVER be swallowed.

Gandoosh involves taking one tablespoon of oil (sunflower or untoasted

sesame will do) and swilling it between the teeth, as you would with a

mouthwash, for up to 20 minutes.

It is best done first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Once

you have swilled for 20 minutes the oil will have turned a milky

consistancy - this must be spat out as it will hold all the toxins.

Never swallow the oil, always spit it out and rinse your mouth

thoroughly using warm water and sea salt. Then clean your teeth and

also clean your toothbrush thoroughly after use.

Benefits of Gandoosh - you should see a general improvement in health.

Your mouth and teeth should feel cleaner and your tongue will be free

from fur. It has also been said that Gandoosh can help with skin

problems, menstrual problems and constipation. " [Ref:2]

I used to do oil pulling every morning with sesame

oil, but since I got pregnant the flavor started

making me ill. I switched to sunflower oil, which

makes me throw up far less often, but I don't feel

like the results are as good.
