Just heard from a friend of mind about OIL PULLING…its origins in Ayurvedic medicine,
If you wish to apply oil pulling, spit the gargled oil in tissue paper and throw into the trash can or spit into used bottle and throw into waste can. Too much oil in the drain pipe might clog it up. Don’t flush the oil down the toilet either.
You might feel that sounds ridiculous,. How could it? It doesn’t make any sense, but no harm in trying !
Oil pulling is very simple.. Basically all you do is rinse your mouth out with vegetable oil, much like you would with a mouthwash. As simple as it sounds, if done correctly it has a very powerful cleansing and healing affect not only on the mouth and sinuses, but the entire body.
Oil pulling can help those with asthma, allergies, chronic fatigue, diabetes, migraine headaches, PMS, and chronic skin problems. Oil pulling works by detoxifying or cleansing the body and also able to clean teeth, gums, and tongue …
The first thing that most people notice when they start oil pulling is an improvement in their oral health. Teeth become whiter, breath becomes fresher, and the tongue and gums take on a healthy pink color. Even problems such as bleeding gums, tooth decay, and gum disease are greatly diminished or completely healed.
The oil is “worked” in the mouth by pushing, pulling, and drawing it through the teeth for a period of 15 to 20 minutes. It is done one to three times a day on an empty stomach. The best time is in the morning before eating breakfast, but can be done before any meal. The used oil is discarded and the mouth rinsed out with water. The oil is never swallowed because it is loaded with bacteria, toxins, pus, and mucous.
Sunflower and sesame seed oils are the most commonly used for oil pulling, but any vegetable oil will work. Oil pulling can work its magic almost instantly.. Some people report relief from certain conditions after doing it only once. Minor problems often clear up within a few days such as ulcer based on my experience. More serious, chronic problems may require a few weeks or several months or more depending on lifestyle issues.
One of the first cleansing symptoms you will experience is an increased flow of mucous from your throat and sinuses. Mucous drainage is one of the body’s methods of removing toxins. While you are pulling, mucous may build in the back of your throat. You may even have to expel the oil and clear the mucous from your throat before reaching a full 20 minutes.
That’s okay, take another spoonful of oil and continue until you’ve pulled for a total of 15-20 minutes. You may also experience a little nausea and perhaps even need to vomit as your body expels toxic waste. Other symptoms may also arise temporarily. These symptoms will subside as your body becomes cleaner and you become more comfortable with oil pulling.
Oil pulling is cheap; the only expense is for the oil you use… It is very easy; you simply swish oil in your mouth. It doesn’t require dieting, fasting, or consuming unpleasant, and often bowel loosening, mixes of herbs and pills. And it is completely harmless.. All you are doing is rinsing your mouth out with vegetable oil¡ªa food. You’re not even swallowing the oil. What can be more benign than that? Nearly anyone can do it, regardless of their level of health. If you have health issues, don’t let the simplicity of oil pulling detour you from trying it. Sometimes the simplest procedures produce the greatest results.
