Oil pulling - Restore back the retrieved gums

Oil Pulling Benefits


This is a pretty old method used by our ancestors or scholars of Ayurveda considering, a clean mouth leads to a clean stomach/digestive system which in turn implies a healthy body.  Oil pulling is an ancient Indian remedy to clean the mouth and teeth. 

How to do Oil Pulling: All you have to do, every morning the first thing before brushing, take 5 to 10 ml of sunflower oil or sesame oil or even coconut oil in your mouth for 15 to 20 minutes swishing, moving (do not swallow) and spit out the white liquid mixed with your saliva  stuffed with germs. Doing this regularly for one month will get rid of all accumulated toxins/harmful bacteria from your body.

Our mouth contains different strains of bacteria. These bacteria in your mouth create a thin layer of bio-film on your teeth known as plaque.  Streptococcus-Mutans is one of the main bacteria in your mouth causing plaque buildup and tooth decay. 

The accumulation of plaque in due course may lead to bad breath, gum inflammation, gingivitis, and cavities.

How it works: During Oil pulling, when you swish the oil around your mouth, the bacteria get washed away and dissolved in the oil.

A study in children revealed that oil pulling with coconut oil was more or less equal to the use of standard chlorhexidine mouthwash in reducing S. Mutans (From Trusted Sources).  

Undoubtedly, Oil pulling will improve your gum-teeth health and even gums retrieved away from the roots are restored to the normal state.
