How to do oil pulling:
1. Put 1-2 teaspoons of oil into the mouth. I prefer to use 2 teaspoons of Organic Coconut, Olive ,or Sesame 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)
2. 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.
3. Spit oil into the trash can. Especially if you have a septic system … 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!
4. Rinse well with warm water. I swish a few times with warm water to get any remaining oil out of my mouth.
5. Brush well. To make sure any remaining bacteria is killed.
