Title: OIL PULLING: IS IT WORTH THE HYPE?
1OIL PULLING IS IT WORTH THE HYPE?
- Whod have guessed that swishing oil in your
mouth for 10 to 20 minutes a day would be
fashionable? Thousands of people are gargling and
swirling oil in their mouths and uploading videos
to YouTube. - Oil pulling is the latest wellness craze, but
its actually a centuries-old Ayurvedic practice.
Ayurveda is an Indian holistic medical system
that dates back 3,000 to 5,000 years. - The main goal of Ayurveda is to promote good
health and well-being by balancing mind, body,
and spirit.
2A DAILY ROUTINE
- According to Todd Caldecott, Ayurvedic
practitioner and Executive Director of the
Dogwood School of Botanical Medicine, oil pulling
is one aspect of a regular morning ritual in
Ayurveda to cleanse the body called dincary. - These things we do for longevity are terrifying.
You must have a regular routine if you want to
live a long life.
3IS IT A HEALTH ELIXIR OR A BUNCH OF NONSENSE?
- Oil is antimicrobial and penetrates the mouths
tissues, inhibiting bacterial growth. - Recent clinical trials have shown that oil
pulling, like chlorhexidine mouthwash, reduces
bacterial counts and plaque index in the mouth,
as well as halitosis (bad breath). A small pilot
study recently found that oil pulling decreased
levels of Streptococcus mutants, a bacteria
strain linked to cavities. - When participants stopped pulling oil, however,
bacterial counts started to rise. Its also worth
remembering that the sample sizes in these
studies were very small.
4WHERE SHOULD YOU BEGIN WITH OIL PULLING?
- Dr. Patel will look at your dosha form first if
youre interested in starting an oil pulling
activity. She usually suggests a tablespoon or
two of oil in the mouth. - Swish it around your mouth, concentrating on the
cheeks and upper palate, and force it through
your teeth. Rub the residual oil into your gums
after youve spat out the oil. - Also, though several recent accounts suggest
coconut oil in particular, practitioners will
typically use sesame oil because sesame has so
many nutritional qualities and benefits.
5Beneficial Effects Of Oil Pulling
- Oil pulling is a common Indian folk remedy in
which you swish oil around in your mouth. - Oil pulling is described in Ayurvedic literature
as having the ability to improve oral health and
provide other health benefits. - While there is no medical research to back up
these claims, the amount of information available
online does. Here are just a few of the many
claimed advantages of oil pulling
6Tips For Oil Pulling
- Oil pulling should be done first thing in the
morning, on an empty stomach, according to
research. As a result, a more thorough detox is
achieved. -
- Some people recommend doing oil pulling in the
shower. Because it fits into my schedule, this is
when I found it to be the most convenient. You
could do it while watching TV, making breakfast,
or at any other time that suits you. -
- If the taste of the oil is stopping you from
doing it, try mixing in some mint extract. I
added 2-3 drops of peppermint extract to 12
tablespoons, and it made the experience much more
fun.
