Oil Pulling Therapy with Coconut Oil

Your oral health is of utmost importance, because everything that happens in your mouth is a reflection of your gut. You should know that everything you eat directly influences your gut and, therefore, your overall health.

The mouth is the entry point to the digestive tract, and often the first signs of a disease can appear in this area. That’s why we recommend Coconut Oil Pulling Therapy.

This method has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine to maintain overall and oral health.
According to Ayurvedic culture, Coconut Oil Pulling Therapy aims to mix coconut oil with your saliva to activate the enzymes in your mouth, which in turn help draw toxins out from the bloodstream.

Benefits of Coconut Oil Pulling Therapy

This therapy offers a significant number of positive results, including:

• Elimination of pathogenic microorganisms in the mouth, such as Candida albicans. The improvement is noticeable, as the typical white coating caused by the presence of this fungus often disappears after using the therapy.
• Reduction of bleeding gums.
• Strengthening of loose teeth.
• Teeth whitening.
• Improved overall health due to the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms from the mouth and toxins from the bloodstream.

How to Perform Coconut Oil Pulling Therapy

• When to do it: Perform the therapy in the morning, before breakfast, on an empty stomach.
• How:
  1. Place one tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth. Do not swallow it.
  2. Gently swish the oil around your mouth for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing it to mix with your saliva.
  3. On the first day, start with 2 minutes, and gradually increase the time each day.
  4. After the 15–20 minutes, spit the oil out and rinse your mouth with potable water.

Important Notes:

• To accelerate healing, you may repeat this process up to three times a day, but always before meals and on an empty stomach.
• Do not swallow the coconut oil, as it contains toxins pulled from the body. (If accidentally swallowed, it is not harmful—it will be expelled through the stool.)
• If you are sensitive or allergic to coconut oil, you may substitute with sunflower or sesame oil.
• You may do this therapy for 10 to 15 consecutive days and repeat every 3 months.
