Just a note: Why not use isopropyl rubbing alcohol? Because it's a different alcohol with different molecular structure and is a mild nerve toxin. This is why it should never be used for making herbal extracts, while vodka is fine for this purpose. Isopropyl may be nice for cleaning, but I wouldn't use it on, in, or around my body.

Hi Everyone

Yes, oil-pulling definately works, but let me offer a warning.

don't hold the same oil in your mouth for 20 minutes assuggested. It draws an aweful lot of toxins out of the system and if you keep the oil in your mouth that long many of them will be reabsorbed through the mouth.

The way to make this therapy most effective is to only hold the oil in the mouth for 3-4 minutes at a time, spit it out and use fresh.

If you're really toxic the oil will go watery before that. As soon as it does dump it.

Also remember to wash your mouth out with bicarb andthen toothpaste(flouride free, of course) afterwards.

Happy pulling!

Hello everyone,

I have been oil pulling for 3 months now. I use organic cold-pressed sesame oil. Don't mind the taste one bit. My teeth a whiter, my heals are not dry any longer and I have lost 5 lbs. Keeps the plaque off teeth also and just feels like its good oral hygiene.

Luv,
Nita

Hi 23rd man,

Thanks for your advice.
I am in day 3 now. I thought it would be AWFUL but to my surprise it's not to bad. I use the sunflower.

always a pleasure to help

Hi 23rd man
yes, thank you for the advice, it's always good to hear from someone who knows about these things

Hey Pinky nice to hear your response

My sister was doing oil-pulling 4 times a day for 10mins, i advised her not to do it as often last week, she has now cut down to twice a day
but !!!.......... i have to tell you this O.M.G LOL i phoned her last night & she asked " are you supposed to take your dentures out? Well, i just sat there, couldnt answer then i just cracked up laughing !

I said of course you are ! ( i did tell her before) Seems she is getting little waxy bits on her dentures! Needless to say, she will now remove them!

Please anyone doing this, take out the dentures first, maybe one of you can explain why its not good for falsies LOL

Hi.

I was searching the internet on this and found this site with a lot of Q & A for this.

I tried this long ago, but was lazy in keeping to it everyday I just started on it again, hope to post some results in future!

Pam, what a great link thanks very much. Lots of info.

Just thought I'd give an update on positive results (nothing else to atribute them to):
Teeth are definately whiter.
Bowel movements (which haven't been a problem) are a touch looser, maybe smoother is a better word, and a bit more frequent.

Did any of you oil-pullers feel an increase in sensation when doing the QT-breathing? I felt like I had more sensations, but not too sure if it was due to oil pulling, but seemed to have started ard the same time, so just wanted to know if others have similar experiences.

I'm in; got my sunflower oil last night and did the swishy thing! I did it again this morning. Better than flossing I would say
I have only done it twice and my pegs feel like there is a reduction in plaque (yuky stuff).
Time will tell

Thank you all for your posts

OK, guys, you got me interested! I just started a couple days ago. Not surprisingly, I don't feel any difference yet, but I like doing it (except that my jaws get tired pretty quickly - guess the daily exercise will make them stronger soon...)

One thing - I don't understand so many people saying they hate the sesame oil. I decided to start with that since the Ayurvedic people suggest it. It's quite mild with a slight pleasantly nutty after-taste. Really puzzled by the distase some people feel for it! I'm wondering if you're using toasted sesame oil? If you are - don't! Get the regular, light-gold oil-pressed kind - it's quite pleasant!

Does anyone else have a bitter taste in the mouth after doing the pulling? Maybe this is just the result of getting toxins out.
