Oil Pulling

[quennna]

Anyone who has tried OIL PULLING? Pls share your experience here.. For those who are not aware, what oil pulling is.. eto po:

Oil Pulling is an age-old remedy that uses natural substances to clean and detoxify teeth and gums. It has the added effect of whitening teeth naturally and evidence even shows that it is beneficial in improving gums and removing harmful bacteria!

The basic idea is that oil is swished in the mouth for a short time each day and that this action helps improve oral health. Just as with Oil Cleansing for the skin, the principle of “like dissolves like” applies, as oil is able to cut through plaque and remove toxins without disturbing the teeth or gums

How to Do Oil Pulling:

The concept is incredibly simple. Basically, a person swishes a couple teaspoons of a vegetable based oil (coconut, sesame or olive) in the mouth for 20 minutes and then spits it out and rinses well.  Oil pulling is best done in the morning, before eating or drinking anything, though Dr. Bruce Fife suggests that it can be done before each meal if needed for more severe infections or dental problems.

How to do oil pulling:

1. Put 1-2 teaspoons of oil into the mouth. I prefer to use 2 teaspoons of organic coconut oil. I scoop it out as a solid and let it melt in my mouth before swishing (I don’t like the texture of solid coconut oil). I also pour a few drops of Brushing Blend (naturally antibacterial) into the mix.

2. Swish for 20 minutes. Apparently the timing is key, according to Dr. Bruce Fife, author of Oil Pulling Therapy, as this is long enough to break through plaque and bacteria but not long enough that the body starts re-absorbing the toxins and bacteria. The oil will get thicker and milky as it mixed with saliva during this time and it should be creamy-white when spit out.

3. Spit oil into the trash can.  Especially if you have a septic system like I do… don’t spit into the sink! Do not swallow the oil as it is hopefully full of bacteria, toxins and pus that are now not in the mouth!

4. Rinse well with warm water. Warm water seems to clean the mouth better (my opinion). I swish a few times with warm water to get any remaining oil out of my mouth.

5. Brush well. I prefer to brush with Brushing Blend to make sure any remaining bacteria is killed.

RESULT: whiter teeth, it also removes plaque on your teeth. good for your gums as well..

isang linggo ko na syang ginagawa..
pagkagising instead mag mumug ng water.. ginagamitan ko sya ng 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oi.. pinapaikot ko sa buong mouth ko..
mapapansin nyo na lumalabnaw yung consistency nya dahil sa laway..

by the way, im using peter paul virgin coconut oil 250ml less than P200 lang sya, nabili ko sya sa sm hypermart..
now going back.. so after 20 mins, itapon mo sya, mumug ng tubig then brush na ng teeth

ang effect sa akin, tunay nga nakakaputi ng ngipin, plus pansin ko rin na nawala talaga yun plaque ko sa ngipin. though, may isang bagang pa ako na di pa nawawala yung plaque pero still happy ako sa result.. 

kayo ba anong experience nyo? share na!

I tried this, and the first time, sige 20 minutes. Tapos, wow, parang na sprain yung jaw ko. Mukhang naover exercise yung muscles, haha. until the next day, sore yung jaw ko, and the arearight under it.

Now I try to oil pull mga three times a week, nasanay na yung jaw ko, and it looks like my teeth are getting brighter.

^paano yung oil pulling sa skin? Parang oil cleansing ba?

[Pink_Sugar]

Kadiri ba yung lasa ng oil mga sis? Si bf muna pa try ko. Hehe

[snowpea]

^paano yung oil pulling sa skin? Parang oil cleansing ba?

nope. oral health is linked to overall physical health kasi. saka detoxifying din ang oil pulling thus it affects the skin. actually madami daw benefits oil pulling besides whiter teeth. kaya plan ko to i-try for a year.

[tamarind26]

Been doing this for a month,it felt good and no more morning breath. Nagstop lang ako temporarily ngayon kasi I have dry cough. Lagi ako na-ga-gag. Pag totally wala na akong ubo, back to this routine. I super miss oil pulling.

1. swish gently pero DON'T GARGLE. don't let it reach your throat.
2. rinse with saltwater after then...
3. brush your teeth (I use a sulfate and flouride-free toothpaste)
