OIL PULLING: IS IT WORTH THE HYPE?

Description:

Who’d 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 it’s 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. Sickness, according to practitioners, can occur when this balance is disrupted. Specific treatments, such as oil pulling, are decided based on a person’s dosha, or mind-body type, in order to maintain order. And it seems that the trend toward fitness has caught on with the general public. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Title: OIL PULLING: IS IT WORTH THE HYPE?


1
OIL 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.

A 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.

IS 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.

WHERE 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.

Beneficial 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

Tips 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.
