Posted on March 24, 2014 Updated on March 26, 2014

Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic remedy for oral health and detoxification. Using using pure oils as agents for pulling harmful bacteria, fungus, and other organisms out of the mouth, teeth, gums and even throat.

The Steps For Oil Pulling

Do this once a day for 15-20 minutes.

Place one tablespoon of coconut, olive oil, or sunflower oil in your mouth.
Swish the oil like a mouthwash approximately 15-20 minutes.
Spit the oil out and rinse your mouth.

It is generally suggested using natural, unrefined, chilly-pressed oils for oil pulling. Sunflower oil and sesame oil are extremely recommended in this regard. You can use coconut oil or olive oil, too.

What Does Oil Pulling Do?

The oils mix with the saliva, turning it into a thin, white liquid. This liquid begin to pull out toxins from the saliva. As the oil is swished around the mouth, teeth, gums and tongue, the oil continues to absorb toxins, and usually ends up turning thick and viscous and white. Once the oil has reached this consistency, it is spit out before the toxins are reabsorbed. I recommend spitting the oil out half way through and start with fresh oil.
