How to Do Oil Pulling Correctly

Just tried oil pulling today. It's a traditional Ayurvedic way to pull toxins out of your body. It's relatively simple and affordable to try.

Method:
Just take 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and gargle for 15-20 mins. Expel out all the oil at the end. Brush your teeth immediately to get all the toxins out. Do this for two weeks for it to be effective.
It should be done first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Sounds easy right? But do remember, the oil grows bigger as you keep it longer in your mouth, so it's quite a mouthful at the end.

Some tips from my experience:
1. Don't gargle vigorously as it's very tiring and 15 mins feels like an eternity.
2. Oil pull when you're preparing breakfast for family so time passes quickly and you won't be too conscious about it. I usually like to wake up slightly earlier while I get everything ready before family wakes up.
3. Expel your coconut oil entirely and don't swallow it as you're ingesting your toxins again. Defeats the whole purpose of oil pulling.
4. Expel into the toilet instead because it may clog up your sink.
Extra bonus:
5. Your family may be very happy as you can't nag them with your mouth full of oil for 15-20 mins 😉

Purpose of oil pulling:
1. Healthier gums and teeth.
2. Eliminates bad breath
3. Reduces toxins in our body
4. Helps to improve skin problems
5. Reduces aches in the body due to toxin accumulation
