Report Copyright Violation | oil pulling questions. Please help. So I went to the dentist and had to have a molar extracted (just posted separate thread on that)
They showed and told me I have periodontal disease. I have no cavities (except for the one on my molar)
Now they want me to come for a 'deep cleaning' which gets deep into the gums. I had this back in 2005 and it was expensive back then.
I was told there was nothing I could do to prevent or kill this bacteria but I remembered seeing threads here about oil pulling and am willing to try it.
What type of oil is used and how exactly do you 'pull' it effectively?
Any help/advice is appreciated.
Thanks! |

Report Copyright Violation | Re: oil pulling questions. Please help. Search on GLP here for oil pulling. I think Sesame and a couple other oils are more ideal for it. I used Sesame when I was doing it. I'd also look into Caster oil and a few others. |

The "pulling" is referring to the oil pulling toxins out of your body.
You basically take about a tablespoon of the oil and swish it around in your mouth for 5-15 minutes.
Organic olive oil works well also (but doesn't taste as good IMO). |

Coconut oil is great. Just swish it like mouthwas but really pull it through your teeth. If you do it with olive oil itl turb this real murky white which is how it mixes with your saliva. You do notice a difference especially in your gums. |
