How to Do Oil Pulling | Instructions & Benefits

Oil pulling, in Ayurveda, is considered one of the best practices for supporting the teeth, gums, and tissues of the mouth. We’ll cover methods and techniques for oil pulling, how it works, and how often you should oil pull with the help of Banyan ambassador Monica Bloom and her favorite oils.

Use coconut oil in the morning (teeth whitening) and sesame seed oil at night (gum care). Been doing for many years and cannot skip it!

I'm going through chemotherapy at the moment for breast cancer and would get the most terrible mouth ulcers. I started doing this and didn't get them this time around. Saved me so much pain and discomfort. It really works peeps. I'll never stop doing this. Even when I'm through with chemo. 🙏

So I started oil pulling about a month ago. I began with extra virgin olive oil because I didn't have coconut. I noticed an immediate sinus clearing during the first time, after years of congestion. I could smell properly again. A couple of days later, I switched to coconut oil and also used roasted sesame oil a few times. After two weeks with the coconut oil, pulling once or twice a day, I switched back to olive oil for a week, just to compare. I noticed the olive oil felt more peppery in my mouth and inflamed my gums more. Also, it didn't seem to whiten my teeth like coconut oil did. My mouth feels much cleaner with the coconut oil than with the olive oil. And finally, with the coconut oil, an area of inflamed and receded gum had started to noticeably tighten up and change shape, feeling more flat and less puffed up, but these changes seemed to have arrested while using the olive oil. I switched back to coconut oil just today and noticed about 10 minutes in a foul kind of "seepage" coming out of my gums, similar to what had happened when I'd first begun pulling with coconut oil. After this reinstatement of the coconut oil, my mouth feels cleaner than it has in a week. So I conclude based on this that coconut oil is superior to olive oil for tooth and gum health. I may be wrong, but I will continue pulling with coconut oil for now unless strong evidence presents itself to convince me to stop.

You should do it before brushing. Once u are done with it rince it with salt water to remove debris. And then Brush

Good to see our ancient ayurveda’s are being more and more recognised and recommended by the world now. Proud to be hailing from this culture 🙏🏻

I’m prone to gingivitis and periodontist but after a month of oil pulling, flossing and using interdental brushes daily, I went to my hygienist and for the first time in 38 years my gums didn’t bleed! And she says my teeth is really well taken care of. That has never happened 😅

I'm oil pulling while watching this vedio...it's my second day...

I'm sort of addicted to oil pulling with coconut oil since few days (morning and evening). My teeth and gums have gotten stronger (and whiter) for sure, and I'm probably less tired during the day. I started with 5 minutes and increased to 10+ minutes, it's easier than I imagined. I'll update this comment as I experience more results.

Very good video . I starter oil pulling with sesame oil and tongue cleaning with tongue cleaner . One immediate result is the food taste much better now and before I use to add 1 tbsp salt to my food but for some reason only 1/2 tbsp is enough now . I wasn’t able to taste food like this before

♥️ Ayurveda n Yoga has answers to all questions unfortunately it’s overrun by alopathy to make money. And in India it’s systematically destroyed by whoever came here. Good video

I can attest to the benefits. I've been using coconut oil, but have heard olive oil and even wheat grass powder works well. I started to see a periodontist before I found out about oil pulling. He and the hygienist both have commented on my much improved gum health.

I think at night before bed is a better option then in the morning. Because night time is healing time of our
Also we dont need to eat while we sleep

Hi! Your energy is so great in the video. In the beginning, it clearly states to brush your teeth first and clean your tongue before oil pulling. In the comments below, you state that it’s best to do that AFTER oil pulling. Please be clear about what is the best way to do this practice. Thank you.

I use apx. x2 tbsp coconut oil, 5 drops peppermint oil and 5 drops oregano oil. I haven't been practicing for very long at all (a matter of weeks, really). I pull for a min. of five minutes before bed and after brushing. I am noticing a difference already. My tender "hurt so good" gingivitis gums that bleed when flossing and interdental brushing, are no more, already. Honestly, best oral/self care latest addition to my routine 😁😁😁

I have been oil pulling for years!! Has helped with my health and has even kept my teeth very white without using the whitening strips which are horrible for us. I always thought it was best to do it even before brushing your teeth? But I’m guess we learn something new everyday.

[tylerwantstobeacreator]
