........Oil Pulling!
Not quite sure what to make of it. But, my mouth is sore from swishing non stop, I have had to stop a few times to give it a rest. It has now officially been 11 minutes! Yahoo! Resisting the urge to swallow has been difficult though. I wonder what benefits I will see.
Oh- I am using coconut oil. Mostly because that's what I have, and I am intolerant to sesame, so thought it wouldn't be a good idea to use sesame oil. I also thought since coconut has an antiviral type quality, it would be beneficial. We shall see.
If I can make it for another couple times, I will head over to the oil pulling challenge thread.

Never saw any benefits apart from whiter teeth, but that's more than good enough for me! :)

How long does it take to notice whiter teeth? I am swishing away again this morning, and it's really not that bad!

Have only done for a couple weeks (solidly this time instead of hit and miss) and am seeing a difference. Mouth feels better overall. Using sunflower oil and seems kind so heavy sometimes. Will try the sesame when I finish this bottle.
