As much as we’d like to claim it, we didn’t invent oil pulling. It’s an ancient Indian folk remedy (Ayuverdic medicine) that’s been around for over 3,000 years. We just got pipped at the post ; ) Oil pulling is used to freshen breath, whiten teeth and improve overall oral health.
How to oil pull
After brushing in the morning, use Morning Mint Oil Pulling Sachets like a mouthwash (but thankfully, without the harmful chemicals) swish the oil around your mouth for up to 20 minutes. It removes harmful bacteria and promotes healthy teeth and gums. At the end of the pulling the oil is milky and thin and gets spat out, not swallowed, because it’s full of bacteria! Oil pulling literally ‘pulls’ the bacteria from your mouth.

Why oil pull?
It gets rid of bacteria, moisturises gums and reduces inflammation. People also report softer lips after regular use. Studies show it increases saliva production, strengthens teeth, gums and jaws. And some alternative medicine practitioners claim that it can help treat several diseases.
Good for skin
Ridding your body of toxins, like bacteria, is known to improve skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne and other skin ailments. Oil pulling a few times a week can see skin appearing brighter and healthier.
Good for you
Your mouth is the gateway to your body, keeping bacteria at bay allows your detoxifying organs, the kidney and liver to focus on flushing out bad bacteria from other parts of your body that are not so easy for you to control.
Coconut oil? Yes, please.
It’s worth noting that the fatty acids in coconut oil provide quick energy and are a good cholesterol which may help reduce heart disease. Lauric acid makes up 50% of the fatty acids in coconut oil, when our amazing bodies digest that it gets turned into monolaurin which can kill bacteria, virus and fungi. Which is why swishing with coconut oil is so incredibly effective.
Look after yourself, your mouth, your body, your health. You’ll feel and look better for it.
