I have recently discovered a remarkable therapy that originates from Ayurvedic literature called oil pulling. I realize that what I’m about to tell you will sound gimmicky and crazy, but let me assure you, I’m already seeing results with whiter teeth and improved sinuses after two weeks.

Oil pulling is a simple treatment in which you swish 1T of sunflower or sesame oil around your mouth, “pulling” it through your teeth, in the morning, before drinking any liquids, for 20 minutes. After the time has elapsed, spit the remains into a trash can (as not to clog a drain) and then rinse your mouth (I prefer swishing warm salt water followed by cool fresh water).

There’s tons of information about oil pulling on the Internet, but to start, check out www.oilpulling.com, where they attest that “through this biological healing method a wide variety of symptoms have unquestionably disappeared without any side-effects. This simple method makes it possible to completely heal such a wide variety of diseases which would normally be treated by an operation or by powerful or potent drugs, usually with significant side-effects.”

If you are struggling with health issues, or could benefit from better dental health, I highly encourage you to research and try oil pulling.
