\nI actually found out from my daughter.<\/p>\n
Some of the proclaimed benefits are:<\/h2>\n
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 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\u2019t like the texture of solid coconut oil) If you want to pick up the book by Dr. Bruce Fife about Oil Pulling Therapy<\/a>\u00a0 you can click of the photo of the book below.<\/p>\n
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Swish for 20 minutes. Apparently the timing is key, according to Dr. Bruce Fife, author of Oil Pulling Therapy<\/a>, 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.
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Spit oil into the trash can. Especially if you have a septic system \u2026 don\u2019t 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!
\n4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rinse well with warm water. I swish a few times with warm water to get any remaining oil out of my mouth.
\n5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Brush well. To make sure any remaining bacteria is killed.<\/p>\n
