Oil Pulling

Start Slow: If 15–20 minutes feels overwhelming, begin with 5 minutes and gradually increase the duration over time. This allows your jaw and mouth muscles to adjust to the practice.

Use High-Quality Oil: Ensure the oil you choose is organic and cold-pressed for maximum benefits. High-quality oils are free from additives and impurities, making them safer and more effective.

Swish Gently: Avoid vigorous swishing to prevent jaw fatigue or discomfort. The process should feel effortless and relaxing.

Best Time: Practice oil pulling first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This helps eliminate toxins that have accumulated overnight and ensures better results.

Stay Consistent: Make oil pulling a daily habit to see long-term benefits. Consistency is key to improving oral and overall health.

Follow with Proper Oral Care: After oil pulling, rinse your mouth with warm water or salt water to remove any remaining oil, then brush your teeth thoroughly to ensure cleanliness.

Avoid Spitting in the Sink: Always spit the oil into a trash can to prevent clogging your pipes, as the oil can solidify and cause blockages.

Experiment with Oils: If one type of oil doesn’t suit your taste or needs, try another. Coconut oil is great for its mild flavor and antibacterial properties, but sesame and sunflower oils are excellent alternatives.

Stay Hydrated: Drink a glass of water after oil pulling to flush out any toxins released during the process.
