Magic Detox: Oil Pulling

Magic Detox: Oil Pulling

Toxins, Bacteria, Fungus and Bad Breath all are damaging to our bodies and self esteem. nobody wants to walk around feeling dirty, gross or even have their self confidence shaken. I know I feel can feel quite disgusting when i am unclean, even after a shower and brushing my teeth. I don't feel my best. My solution is something crazy called Oil Pulling. Have you heard of it?

Oil pulling is the act of using cold pressed Sesame, Coconut, Olive or Sunflower oil and swishing it around your mouth for 20 minutes. Does that sound like a long time? Coconut Oil

Oil Pulling is the ancient Ayurvedic ritual of detoxing the body. Have you heard of this yet? I have tried it, and while my first time was a bit rough the ending result was amazing, First let me tell you how to Oil pull

1. Buy good Virgin Cold Pressed Sesame, Coconut, Jajoba, Sunflower, or Olive Oil's. They will be thicker and more dense than the oil you cook with in your kitchen cabinet.
2. Take the jar and heat to melting point if solid, or take a teaspoon of oil and place in your mouth
3. Swish around your mouth, teeth and throat for 20 minutes. Twenty minutes can go fast if you occupy your time with someone else else.

Look at the Beautiful Mouth

My Journey

• My first time, I used too much coconut oil in my mouth and was nearly gagging, I did strive to make it through the 20 minutes, but only managed 18 minutes. When I spat it out, I also expected the color to be dark, or at the very least different, but I didn't see any color variation. My jaw also hurt a little, and I suffer from TMJ, and that worried me.

• My second day was 1000x better. I used a smaller amount of oil, cold, and let my mouth warm it up. I was able to get through 20 minutes and I didn't swish as hard and took time reading a book. Pride and Prejudice to be exact. I felt great after 20 minutes. My teeth felt cleaner than the dentist has ever got them. I had no problems with my jaw and my lips didn't need chapstick at all that day.

• After 1 week: I felt great, I was sleeping better, without my TMJ mouth guard, my skin was clearer and my hair was a mixture of less greasy and less dry. I don't know how to explain it, I just felt clean, healthy and confident.

• 1 Month later: I had a better overall health and my cycles were working in my favor and less painful. It was wonderful and with my new found rest at night, I had more energy and happiness to take one the day.

How To Oil Pulling

Health Benefits

The Benefits Include Everything from:

• Migraine and Headache Relief: I noticed reduced amounts of headaches while oil pulling 2-3 times a week.
• Correcting Hormone Imbalances: Not noticed anything, but then again, I don't know what to look for on the outside.
• Reducing Inflammation of Joints due to Arthritis: I do not suffer from this, but my shin splints are better, that is a great bonus.
• Reduces Skin Irritation and causes of Eczema: My skin does feel clear and clean all over, oil pulling is also said to help balance out acne in some teenagers.
• Reduces Hangover after Drinking in Excess: I don't drink enough to know if this works, so if you find this helps, I'd love to hear about it.
• Helps Reduce Insomnia: I have heard a lot of lot of people say that their sleeping habits are helped by oil pulling. If you suffer from Insomnia like so many American's, why not try this, After two weeks if you don't notice a difference in your sleep. You are more than free to stop.
• Helps Support Kidney Functions: why not reduce your bladder infections so many women suffer sometimes multiple times a year.
• Reduces Allergies and its Symptoms: If you suffer from anything from pollen to food allergies, why wouldn't you want to enjoy life with this help. I know I have found it helps me. Not enough to get rid of my EpiPen, but I am able to enjoy some of my favorite foods now and again.

Make sure that when you spit out your oil, you do so into a garbage can or another bag, not your drain. It's liquid in your mouth, but the oil will re-harden into a solid and that will clog your drain. I always spit into a bag lined garbage. Don't expect the oil to have changed color, my first time I was half expected he oil to be brown or black when I spit it out, and coconut oil that is cold pressed is white when it starts out.

Day 0: Buy the perfect Oil for you. Many oils have multiple uses and benefits, so choose the one that will work best for you. Jajoba and Coconut are the two I use most frequently. Take a Before picture of your mouth and face. Keep it in a safe place. Keep a journal of your sleeping, eating habits and body functions.

Day 1: Place a tablespoon of oil in your mouth and walk to your book shelf. Find a book, relax and take twenty minutes of your morning for yourself.

Day 2: Swish your tablespoon in your mouth and go for a walk around your house, apartment, block, street or local trail. Just a short twenty minute walk.
