I’ll be updating this in a week or two when I finish the bottle (I know a lot of people say this and never do, but you can bet on it). For now? Five stars.
Another unwanted side effect is that it causes easy weight gain and complicates weight loss because your body does not easily give up the toxic fat it has stored. The body then places water around the toxic fat as its self-defense mechanism causing even more inflammation. Studies suggest that oil pulling may have many benefits. It may help reduce bad breath, cavities and tooth decay, plaque and tartar build-up, and even inflammation in the mouth. Many people I know who suffer from dry mouth tell me that oil pulling helps increase salivary secretion for them as well, and others have even told me about teeth-whitening benefits. If you would like an all-natural alternative to mouthwash, oil pulling could be a great practice for you.In GuruNanda's mouthwash, the oil used comes from coconut. “Coconut oil, when pulled, acts as a ‘soap’ and cleans teeth and gums from unwanted buildup,” says holistic and functional dentist Dmitry Dolgov, DMD of The Dentist Lounge in Santa Monica, California. “Peppermint has antibacterial/antiseptic properties that will help fight harmful germs and bad breath.” We’ve all heard about it, but how many of you have actually tried oil pulling? I’ve done it a few times, but I haven’t been able to keep it up daily, despite really wanting to. I recently came across these GuruNanda single servings of mixed oils that make it easier to do each day, so, I am hoping to give this another whirl to really monitor the benefits now that half of the work has been done for me. Time to step up my oil pulling game in hopes to rid my body of the toxins that accumulate in me each day! Oil pulling involves swishing a tablespoon of oil, usually coconut, in your mouth. It is said to be a powerful detoxifying treatment that helps rid the body of harmful bacteria and toxins and improve oral health. Oil pulling works by breaking down the biofilms that house bad oral bacteria and toxins from your teeth, gums, and even your tongue. If you don’t break down these biofilms, they become plaque and tartar. So oil pulling is incredibly preventative. The act of swishing the oil around pulls the oil soluble toxins and harmful microbes residing in the mouth from the fat cells. When practiced regularly, oil pulling can reduce inflammation because, as the level of toxins in the toxic fat decreases, the body withdraws water around them and reduces inflammation. The acts of exercising, eating right, drinking water, and breathing facilitate weight loss and promote better health. Now that you understand that toxins are oil soluble and the science behind it all, you can move on and understand how oil pulling works!
When I used one tablespoon of the oil as instructed, it felt awkward trying to swish such a small amount around in my mouth. The more I tried though, the more saliva collected in my mouth. I assumed this was the oil pulling the toxins out. I would swish it around for around seven minutes. In the instructions, it is recommended to start off doing it for two to three minutes and gradually increase to 15 minutes. By the end of the first week I was able to do up to seven minutes before I started gagging. I like to oil pull when I’m in the shower each morning–it’s a great way to get two things done at one time, and oil pulling is most beneficial on an empty stomach. Since most people sleep with their mouths open, which creates more biofilms and dry mouth, oil pulling in the morning may help with this as well. Just be careful not to swallow the oil; it’s safe but not as pleasant as swishing. Once you finish oil pulling, spit the oil into a trash can, not into the sink or the drain (you don’t want to clog your pipes). Then rinse your mouth with water, brush your teeth–a very important step, to ensure the bad biofilms in your mouth are fully broken down--and enjoy your day.To be more specific with the improvements: My gum line is still inflamed, but the shade of red has reduced significantly. The first day, I only used the product for two minutes before spitting, then five minutes the following day, and then ten minutes every day afterward. I began using this exactly one week ago, so the fact that the inflammation is already going down has been a pleasant surprise. Not only that, but little areas of my gums are beginning to slowly re-connect with my teeth. I can tell it’s a slow process that will take time, but I’m just pleased to see a process happening at all. My breath also no longer smells, something I have always been self-conscious about. If I had one con, it's that my teeth haven't gotten whiter in any way. Whether this changes, who knows, but I didn't buy it for that purpose (there are great teeth whitening pens for that). When Dosha balanced pure oil is swished in the mouth, oil soluble toxins dumped in saliva adhere to the oil. According to Kulreet Chaudhary, MD a prominent neurologist and Ayurveda expert “the body has several mechanisms that allow it to ‘dump’ toxic particles into the salivary glands. Following Ayurvedic tradition, oil pulling helps to increase the secretion of saliva and trap the toxins within the oil particles. With oil pulling, the salivary glands of the mouth function as a detoxifying organ”. That began an 18-month regimen of oil pulling that proved to be life altering. The first and always (for first timers, tentative, and short-term experimenters) the most obvious benefit is oral hygiene. The tissues in my mouth became so well circulated and plump that flossing wasn’t necessary (although flossing actually is part of my regimen); and my teeth, which have a genetic tendency to yellow (I don’t smoke or drink coffee) had never been whiter — not even when I had them professionally whitened at the dentist’s office.

Oil pulling is really easy when you use a premade mix with the perfect balance of ingredients. I use the GuruNanda Organic Oil blend which comes premade and with a measuring cup to make it super easy to pour, swish and spit. I like to brush my teeth and gargle water before I pull, to remove excess food. Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic tradition that involves swishing an oil through the teeth for up to 20 minutes. As Marc Lowenberg, DDS, cosmetic dentist at Lowenberg, Lituchy & Kantorin NYC, once explained to Well+Good, oil pulling "has been shown to reduce inflammation by combining the fat-soluble toxins found in the mouth (a byproduct of bacterial dental plaque) with sesame, sunflower, or coconut oil. Results of oil pulling include fresher breath, whiter teeth, and reduction of bleeding gums while flossing.” Dmitry Dolgov, DMD, holistic and functional dental practitioner at The Dental Lounge in Santa Monica, California This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items.As someone who loves the feel of a fresh mouth but admittedly dreads the process of achieving such, I’m always on the lookout for innovative oralcare to liven up the experience. In the past year alone, I’ve gotten a fancy electric toothbrush and flosser, upgraded my toothpaste and even tried an LED whitening kit.
