how do you oil pull?

[samariah]

Ive been looking around but im getting a little confused on the exact process? How do you pull the oil through your teeth? will any oil do? also, can oil pulling help with cellulite?

Hi,

I am doing it as I type this! Hehe. It is really easy but you have to use either sesame or sunflower oil; other oils used in this study were not effective. You take a tablespoon of oil on an emtpy stomache (preferably in the morning) before you drink or eat anything. Swish it around in your mouth for 20 mins and spit out. Make sure you don't swallow... and the oil should be a thin white foamy consistancy. If not and still yellow you didn't do it long enough. After that rinse you mouth out and drink 2-3 glasses of water. You can repeat this 2-3 times a day. I've been doing morning and night.

I don't know about the cellulite thing. Search for oil pulling on this board... there's a lot of posts.

Good luck!

Dumb question - WHAT IS OIL PULLING??? I keep seeing posts on it but I don't see one explaining what it is!

[StarFire]

DEFINITELY NOT A DUMB QUESTION! Cuz I asked the same thing!

I copied this off of the oil pulling thread (found under the main directory - health related topics)

Cold pressed, Seasme, Sunflower & Coconut oils are "mainly" suggested.

After it is in the mouth start "rinsing or swishing" motions and as Dr Karach puts it; sip, suck and pull through the teeth for fifteen to twenty minutes. This process makes oil thoroughly mixed with saliva. Swishing activates the enzymes and the enzymes draw toxins out of the blood. The oil must not be swallowed, for it has become toxic. If the oil is still yellow, it has not been swished long enough.

I believe it was suggested to use 1 tablespoon - but this was uncomfortable for me - I use about 1 teaspoon, and on occassion I have accidentally swallowed a bit - and it doesn't make you sick or anything - it's just not a good idea to do that very often!! lol ;) ...

check out the oil pulling thread! Lots of info there!!
RAWK ON!

How in the world do you keep something in your mouth swishing it around for 20 minutes? I am reading wrong? Is it 20 minutes or 20 seconds. I really want to try this but I am concerned about being able to do this for 20 minutes. Also, do you do it once a day or twice a day?

[145ish]

Yes 15-20 minutes up to 3 times a day. www.oilpulling.com has the information. The site says to use sunflower or sesame oil. A lot of people here are using Coconut Oil but I don't see anywhere that coconut oil is as good as the others. I don't know if others chose if for taste or what.

It is Friday morning 5:30 a.m. my first day of oil pulling. I went to the periodontist yesterday as I have some issues with gum recession. I told him I will be experimenting with oil pulling as I heard it is excellent for gum disease, periodontal issues, and overall good health. He was very interested in seeing the results, he is not mainstream which is why I love this Dr. Anyway, picked up a 16 ounce bottle of refined organic sunflower oil and here I sit swishing,,,urg,,,20 minutes seems like and eternity. Wait,,,just one more minute to go,,can't wait to see the consistency of the oil,,,,will post that.
BRB,,,,,,,,okay done! I spit out oil in glass to observe the color, low and behold it is milky white, toxins released,,,,I rinsed my mouth out with water,,,and will drink 2 glasses of distilled water. i FEEL GREAT,,,it is really that that hard just have to keep you mind occupied and not look at the time, HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!
