@glowwithella: OIL PULLING 🥥🪥🦷 I get a lotta Qs about oil pulling so I thought I’d get more intooooo it. ⭐️What is oil pulling? 🥥Oil pulling is taking a tablespoon of high quality oil (I personally use coconut oil) and swishing it around in your mouth for up to 20 minutes (the more you swish the more it benefits, but it’s something you have to build up to). This is an ancient aryuvedic practice that has been around for thousands of years! You can start at 1 minute and build up, distract yourself while doing it (I like to make my bed, dry brush, unload dishwasher etc) ⭐️What are the potential benefits of oil pulling? 🥥Healthy oral microbiome (antibacterial, antiviral, anti fungal) helps pull bad bacteria out of the mouth and promote healthy bacteria 🥥Whitens teeth 🥥Helps prevent receding gums & gingivitis 🥥Reduces plaque 🥥Reduces inflammation 🥥Promotes healthy skin & digestion 🥥Strengthens jaw 🥥Promotes nasal breathing ⭐️How often should you oil pull? 🥥Depends on the person, but what works for me is 2 times a week for 10-20 minutes (I have sensitive teeth) ⭐️Is it gross? 🥥I personally don’t mind it at all, but if it’s gross to you add some peppermint oil & maybe allow it to slightly melt prior to putting it in your mouth! Other oral health tips: 🪥Get a good quality toothbrush 🦷Get good quality additive free toothpaste & floss 👅Tongue scrape in the AM! (another wonderful aryuvedic practice)
