I TRIED OIL PULLING FOR (ALMOST) A WEEK: HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED Is it as good for you as everyone says it is?

in health •  7 years ago 

When it comes to beauty procedures, products or treatments, I really will try anything. (Seriously -- I once used a serum on my face that smelt like pee.) So when a friend sent me an article on the latest craze -- "oil pulling" -- I was obviously going to try it out for myself.

Oil pulling, also known as "kavala" or "gundusha," is an ancient Ayurvedic dental technique that involves swishing a tablespoon of oil in your mouth on an empty stomach for around 20 minutes. This action supposedly draws out toxins in your body, primarily to improve oral health but also to improve your overall health.

The reported benefits include:

• Whiter teeth • Cavity and gingivitis prevention • Better breath (halitosis suffers also reported greatly improved morning breath) • Stronger teeth and gums • Less jaw pain (TMJ sufferers noted great improvement), sleep problems and sinus issues • Alleviation of headaches, hangovers and skin issues (reports have shown improvement in acne, psoriasis and eczema)

I wanna hear more about your experience! I actually did this a few times last week because I have a pretty bad cavity that has been hurting me..this week no pain!! I think this really works.

after regular 3 weeks' use of Coconut Oil your cavity should disappear. Moreover it is advised to rinse your mouth with water with pinch of salt dilluted. Good look theessential. ;)

Thanks for the tips! I will get on it..
