Oil pulling….
Here are the 4 simple steps to perform oil pulling:
- Measure one tablespoon of oil, such as coconut or sesame.
- Swish it around in your mouth for 15–20 minutes and then spit the oil.
- Rinse your mouth well using water before eating or drinking anything.
It is suggested to follow these steps at least 3 times in a week. When you swish the oil around your mouth, the bacteria gets swept away and gets dissolved in the liquid oil. A lot of people trust this remedy, and many suggest that it improves health in other ways too. Now, the main question lies in ‘Which oil to use for this method?
The Reduction of Bacteria through Wood Pressed Coconut and Sesame Oil:
Wood Pressed Coconut and Sesame oils are most suitable for oil pulling.
The lauric acid in the Wood Pressed Coconut oil can easily react with sodium hydroxide in saliva during oil pulling to form sodium laureate, the main constituent of soap which might be responsible for the cleansing action and decreased plaque accumulation.
Wood Pressed Sesame Oil reduces plaque induced gingivitis with the help of linoleic acid in it.
One of the main bacteria in our mouth, and a key factor for building up plaque and leading to tooth decay is Streptococcus mutans. Studies show that over 60 out of 100 adults have been successful in reducing the number of streptococcus mutans in saliva in less than two weeks with practicing regular oil pulling, compared to distilled water.
Benefits beyond Oral Hygiene:
Studies suggest that oil pulling plays a significant role in fighting more health issues other than oral and throat ones. Some of the other benefits of oil pulling include:
- Migraine/headache relief
- Helps keeping skin clear
- Aids hormonal balance
- Increases energy
- Reduces insomnia
- Reduces hangover after alcohol consumption
- Helps detoxify your body
