Oil Pulling | Coconut

Q: What will happen if I accidentally swallow some oil?
A: Don't worry if you swallow the oil, you will excrete it later.

Q: What happens during an Oil Pulling session? 
A: Your mouth hosts over 600 species of bacteria. While some are good bacteria and make up the healthy microbiome in your mouth, the rest are detrimental to your oral health and cause issues like tooth decay, bad breath, bleeding gums, etc. Oil Pulling helps you get rid of these bacteria via a simple phenomenon. The unicellular bacteria are enclosed by a lipid membrane which sticks to the lipid structure of the oil. When you swish the oil around your mouth, these bacteria get detached from the soft tissues, attach to the oil, and eventually get flushed out when you spit the oil. The process is like how detergent removes dirt molecules from clothes.

Q: Should I do oil pulling before or after brushing? 
A: It is recommended to perform Oil Pulling after brushing your teeth and scraping your tongue. If you were to choose between Oil Pulling at night vs morning, it should always be done in the morning on an empty stomach.

Q: Can you please tell me ALL the benefits of Oil Pulling
A: OK, here we go! Promotes Healthy Teeth and Gums...Maintaining a healthy oral microbiome is crucial for your teeth and gum health. One of the most common culprits of tooth decay is Streptococcus mutans, a type of microorganism in your mouth. Daily oil pulling for 10-15 minutes can help reduce S. mutans count in your mouth and prevent tooth problems. Promotes Fresh Breath Bad breath...not only embarrasses , but it can also affect your relationships. Bad breath is caused by sulphur-producing bacteria that thrive in microscopic grooves on the tongue and back of the throat. Oil Pulling and gargling help flush these bacteria out of the mouth, leaving you with a fresh, odourless breath. Supports Detoxification...You can find tons of evidence on the correlation between oral hygiene and overall well-being. The harmful bacteria that thrive in your mouth eventually enter your body along with food, causing health complications and even life-threatening inflammation in the cardiac system. Daily Oil Pulling helps eliminate bad bacteria from your mouth, assisting your body's natural detoxification process. Promotes Healthy Sinus...Although there are limited clinical studies in this area, anecdotal evidence shows that there are several benefits of Oil Pulling for sinus health. Since sinuses are closely linked to the oral cavity, maintaining a healthy oral microbiome can help prevent sinus infections caused by bacteria.
