Oil Pulling
Updated August 13, 2022
I developed this Enhanced Oil Pull (EOP) to contain the unstable conditions in my own mouth. Oil pulling is an ancient ayurvedic (Indian) technique. What is actually “pulls” is not clear, but there are many fat-based substances in the mouth that are potentially inflammatory.
While the internet often suggests using coconut oil, the traditional oil is sesame. For me, the coconut oil did not help but the sesame oil did almost immediately. Sesame oil is used in conventional medicine due to its ability to contain oily substances such as progesterone. The enhanced oil pull formula has additional ingredients for improved anti-microbial and healing benefits. It is possible that olive oil will work better for some situations, and can be tried with or without the sesame oils.
It is best used in conjunction with the mouthwash, tongue scraping and brushing with baking soda. Since the upper teeth often enter the maxillary sinuses, using a sniffer can be an essential part of healing the skull.
Directions for Oil Pulling (with raw organic sesame oil)
4 oz bottle has 12 doses = 3x/wk x 4 wks.
- Pour 2 tsp of Enhanced Oil into cup.
- Swish for 20 minutes total to allow “contact” with circulation.
First 10-15 minutes, swish through teeth, etc
