how this helped me?
Growing up I had heard about it but actually started paracticing several years back. By then my gums were in really bad shape. I used to get swolen and bleeding gums often. I had to go through many painful scalings and 4 times hygenist cleaning in a year. Mostly I had lots of bleeding.
After starting this practice inflemation and bleeding of my gums are gone and did not need any scaling. even my yearly cleaning the blooding is gone. i did had cavity filling and dont notice whitening of my teeth.
I use mostly extra virgin coconut oil and sometimes sesame oil.
I take 1 tsp oil. while skishing in the mouth I do other morning work for 15-20 minutes.
i spit in a separate container and dump in the compost pile outside.
I dont brush immediately but wash mouth with water.
sometimes i massage the gums.
i try to do this 3-4 times a week.
