Oil Pulling for Oral Health
http://wellnessmama.com/7866/oil-pul...r-oral-health/

Quote:
Oil pulling is an age-old remedy that uses natural substances to clean and detoxify teeth and gums. It has the added effect of whitening teeth naturally and evidence even shows that it is beneficial in improving gums and removing harmful bacteria!

The basic idea is that oil is swished in the mouth for a short time each day and that this action helps improve oral health. Just as with Oil Cleansing for the skin, the principle of “like dissolves like” applies, as oil is able to cut through plaque and remove toxins without disturbing the teeth or gums.

The practice of oil pulling started in India thousands of years ago, and from my research, was first introduced to the United States in the early 1990s by a medical doctor named Dr. F. Karach, who used it with success in his medical practice.
How to Do Oil Pulling:

The concept is incredibly simple. Basically, a person swishes a couple teaspoons of a vegetable based oil (coconut, sesame or olive) in the mouth for 20 minutes and then spits it out and rinses well. Oil pulling is best done in the morning, before eating or drinking anything, though Dr. Bruce Fife suggests that it can be done before each meal if needed for more severe infections or dental problems.

How to do oil pulling:

Put 1-2 teaspoons of oil into the mouth. I prefer to use 2 teaspoons of organic coconut oil. I scoop it out as a solid and let it melt in my mouth before swishing (I don’t like the texture of solid coconut oil). I also pour a few drops of Brushing Blend (naturally antibacterial) into the mix.

Swish for 20 minutes. Apparently the timing is key, according to Dr. Bruce Fife, author of Oil Pulling Therapy, as this is long enough to break through plaque and bacteria but not long enough that the body starts re-absorbing the toxins and bacteria. The oil will get thicker and milky as it mixed with saliva during this time and it should be creamy-white when spit out.

Spit oil into the trash can. Especially if you have a septic system like I do… don’t spit into the sink! Do not swallow the oil as it is hopefully full of bacteria, toxins and pus that are now not in the mouth!

Rinse well with warm water. Warm water seems to clean the mouth better (my opinion). I swish a few times with warm water to get any remaining oil out of my mouth.

Brush well. I prefer to brush with Brushing Blend to make sure any remaining bacteria is killed.

Coconut oil is naturally antiseptic. So it is really good for your gums.

I never heard of oil pulling though.

I researched this about a year ago and what I read said it had absolutely no value. I'll try and dig up the links.

It's not COMPLETE horseshit. Certain oils have anti-microbial properties and I'm sure it does reduce the level of bacteria in the mouth. It also is known to reduce plaque http://www.jaypeejournals.com/eJourn...=400&isPDF=YES

BUT where it may be horseshit is in how effective it is compared to just using mouthwash. I have no clue but my knee jerk reaction is that you could sub in an antimicrobial mouthwash and get the same results with much better flavor.

Seems like this is useful info should I get stuck on a tropical island and have access to only coconuts for oral health.

That's almost exactly what I came up when researching it, so yes, not complete horseshit, but horseshit enough that I'll stick with Scope.

Seems like a pretty healthy alternative to the mouthwashes you'll find on the shelves.

Coconut oil is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral while we know the fluoride in mouthwash is pretty toxic.
