Hi,

Have any of you tried oil pulling?
I'm curious to hear any experiences or comments about this.

Thank you!

I oil pull with coconut oil. I'm not sure what it does for me except that I do think it helps keep my teeth and mouth clean. I do it almost every day for about 10 minutes.

I find the long list of reasons to oil pull pretty convincing. The tough part for me is finding 20 minutes early in the morning before I have eaten or drunk anything, including supplements, and I don't need to talk at all. I have a kid (so need to talk) and POTS (so need to drink water pretty regularly) and it ends up being hard to fit it in. I like doing it, though. I use organic coconut oil and a few drops of clove essential oil.

I did it for awhile a few years ago.

I do coconut oil pulling for 20min, but I am not consistent with it. When I first started doing it every day it drained my sinuses every time, which was pretty interesting. That doesn't happen anymore.

It works great, been doing it for years. Mostly at the first indication of pain or discomfort from a tooth or gum. Just this week had a very mild pain from an old crown that needs to be replaced and in two days pain all gone. Its microbial action is very good.

I think it’s good for oral thrush too!

so, I religiously did coconut oil pulling with a couple drops of myrrh EO back during treatment. every. day. 10 min AM and PM. I had started panicking because in the middle of treatment, my teeth starting killing me and literally all my teeth got cavities!! I have always had perfect teeth. mind you, I grew up SAD diet and had no cavities, then I get lyme and eat perfect GF DF SF AIP etc and all my teeth rot 🙄 oh the irony.

ANYWAYS, my gums were also receding. for money sake I could only get one cavity fixed at a time but I started to wonder if I could REVERSE cavities by oil pulling since coconut oil is antibacterial...... and call me crazy but it worked for the small cavities! and the myrrh EO literally grew back my gums. they were rlly receded and painful before. the dentist was impressed.

I love oil pulling! I use coconut oil and a drop or two or either clove oil or oregano oil. I had a bad toothache last week and the oil pulling has definitely dulled it done. I swish for 20 mins then spit it out in the garage, rinse my mouth and brush my teeth. Good luck!

Ps: this should have said garbage instead of garage hahaha! Although garage would work too I guess lol!

Just make sure you don’t spit it out in the toilet or sink, as oil can clog pipes. Make sure you don’t swallow it, as you will swallow the germs it’s pulling out. It’s a good idea to blow your nose before starting, as you will be breathing through your nose while you’re doing it and you can get mucousy.

Use a good organic, unrefined coconut oil that’s cold pressed. I have used various brands - Barleans, Nutiva, Nature’s Way. I use coconut oil on my skin when getting out of the shower, so I like to buy big containers to save money. Nutiva has some large tubs.

When I had yellow coating on tongue, coconut oil pulling got rid of it. It also makes my teeth whiter and cleaner. I need to do this regularly.

Great advice everyone. How often should we all be doing this?
