Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 This is my understanding of oil-pulling: swishing the relatively-heavy oil around your mouth really, really cleans every part of your mouth. Teeth, gums, all the small spaces -- it drags out all kinds of debris and undoubtedly a lot of bacteria and other germs. So I'm completely sold on benefits for dental health. With all the things coming out (in the mainstream media, no less!) about the connection between gum disease and disease elsewhere in the body, I'll go ahead and believe that oil-pulling will help with whole-body issues. I've been using Nutiva coconut oil, and it tastes so pleasant. Not even difficult to get my teenager to do it. Soon we'll see if it's helping to improve his cavities, even though he doesn't do it every day...

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hi Joy, I totally agree with you. Maybe I would add that the oil should be kept for about 15 to 20 minutes in the mouth and then rinsed out very well. I found that rinsing with salt water afterwards, helps. My teeth are much nicer since I started oil pulling (about 2 years now). BTW, the saltwater helps me from getting colds. If I don't forget to rinse, gargle and sniff saltwater, I don't get the usual colds.
