7 Reasons to Consider Oil Pulling

You brush twice a day, use mouthwash, and floss with precision. So why bother with a process reminiscent of draining oil from a combine harvester? Indeed, Old McDonald had a farm, but his mouth shouldn't echo "Ugh! Ugh!" everywhere.

The ancient technique of oil pulling can significantly enhance your oral hygiene. It's completely natural, meaning no harmful chemicals are involved, and it promises a smile that could rival JLo's bling during her 'Jenny from the block' days.

What exactly is oil pulling, and what does it do to my mouth?

Let's clarify what it entails. In brief, you swish organic oil, like coconut oil, in your mouth for twenty minutes, similar to mouthwash, and then spit it out—just not down the sink to avoid clogging. The oil adheres to and eliminates bacteria in your mouth. After twenty minutes of oil pulling, here are the benefits as outlined by James Colquhoun of Food Matters.

WHEN YOU TRY OIL PULLING, THESE ARE THE BENEFITS FOR YOUR BODY:

1. WHITENS TEETH

"The oil has natural antibiotic and antiviral properties that brighten and clean teeth, ensuring they remain pearly white."

2. INCREASES ENERGY

"Oil pulling removes harmful bacteria, reducing the workload on our body and significantly improving our overall well-being."

3. DETOXES THE BODY

"The mouth serves as a primary entry point for bacterial contamination. By eliminating these toxins at their source through oil pulling, the body experiences a thorough detox."

4. AIDS HORMONAL CHANGES

"Hormones can function optimally without the interference of foreign substances, maintaining balance when oil pulling eliminates these invaders."

5. REDUCES HEADACHES

"Toxic stress can lead to headaches and migraines. Oil pulling helps in preventing these by removing the bacterial cause."

6. KEEPS THE SKIN CLEAR

Eliminating toxins before they enter the bloodstream gives the skin an opportunity to glow—perhaps with an added JLo sparkle. Dramatic reductions or complete clearances of rashes and skin issues are often observed.

7. PROMOTES ORAL HYGIENE

Oil pulling is notably effective in reducing dental cavities and eliminating bad breath, as well as aiding in the management of plaque-induced gingivitis.

It's important to persist even if the immediate results aren't as expected. Each individual's experience can vary due to different factors, as Colquhoun describes:

"The outcomes of starting oil pulling can range from immediate positive effects to those that may take days or even weeks to manifest. It largely depends on your initial health state and the condition of your immune system. Nonetheless, stay the course, and it's likely you'll come to appreciate its benefits."

Should it prove successful on the first attempt, don't hesitate to celebrate at Old McDonald's farm—just be sure to extend invitations to Clint Eastwood and JLo!

Join in the chorus: "Old McDonald has white teeth, E.I.E.I.O."
