Oil pulling

winecastle14 · August 2013

Has anyone tried it? I've become pretty crunchy since having a baby. Think I'm gonna give it a try tomorrow morning with coconut oil. The recommended time is 20 minutes but ain't nobody got time for that everyday. Maybe in the shower.

Interested in hearing from anyone who's tried it.

I've never tried it....I could never swish oil in my mouth for a minute, let alone twenty. But lots if studies support the benefits! Power to ya, but this one is a no from me

Yea I don't know if I'll be able to either but I'm intrigued so I gotta try it. I'm just going to try to imagine the coconut oil as a pina colada :-/

And FWIW, I'm not at all skeptical that coconut oil is good for oral health. I'm more interested to see if it actually works for allergies, sinuses, etc.

I'm doing it right now and it really isn't that bad. Coconut oil liquifies when heated so if you can get passed the 1st minute then it really doesn't feel much different than swishing around water. Just took a shower while swishing because I'm way too impatient to sit and do nothing.

Lol. Is this a nice way to call me a crazy hippie lady?

I read about this a couple months ago, but the thought of swishing oil grossed me out. I might be able to do it with coconut oil. Let me know how it goes @AmberEA14. You may persuade me. I am already kind of a crazy hippie. Pull me further to the dark side :P

Definitely any health food store (like Whole Foods) but I'd think about any grocery store in the organic/health food section. Just get the virgin unrefined organic one, which is usually the only kind I see at the store.
