I had a inbox on facebook from a friend asking me if i'd ever come across 'Oil Pulling'.
I'd never heard of it till then so ive spent an hour reading up on it.
I found this link about it; http://oilpulling.com/FAQ.htm
It sounds very interesting, from what i can gather, it is also known as Oil Swishing, its an alterntive medicine that Originated in India, it can be used to reduce enamel wear from stomach acid from vomiting. one study i have read about it showed that there was a remarkable reduction in bacteria after 2 weeks use.
This process makes oil thoroughly mixed with saliva. As the process continues, the oil gets thinner and white. First, the oil is put in the mouth, with chin tilted up, and slowly swished, sucked, chomped and pulled through the teeth. Then, the oil changes from yellow and oily consistency to a thick viscous consistency. A second round of oil pulling may be done with fresh oil for further cleansing. The oral cavity is then thoroughly rinsed and washed with normal tap water and fingers or tooth brush. This procedure is typically performed daily.
The oils that can be used are; seseme oil and sunflower oil, they are the two that are highly recomended. Coconut oil can also be used.
Heres aYoutube video ive found on it.
