Do you feel hesitant to visit your dentist's office? Not only the pain and anxiety during the treatment but also the shocking bills after the treatment, which makes your visit quite unforgettable, isn't it? Well, today I am going to introduce a simple technique to reduce physical pain and financial cost.
Oil pulling has been around for thousands of years and originated in ancient India in Ayurvedic medicine. The practice is to use oil to pull toxins out through the gums and mouth to purify the body. It is a simple oral health routine that can significantly benefit your oral health. Coconut oil and olive oil have been a popular medium for oil pulling because they have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
Here are some noticeable benefits of oil pulling.
- Kills harmful bacteria in the mouth and prevents bad breath and cavities.
- Improves gum health by reducing inflammation.
- Reduces plaque and gingivitis and whitens the teeth.
- Stimulate saliva production
Here are
the 4 simple steps to do oil pulling:
- Put one tablespoon of oil,
such as coconut or olive oil in your mouth.
- Swish it around in your mouth for 5 or 10 minutes and slowly increase the duration.
- Spit the oil into the trash bin and avoid spitting it into the sink or toilet, as this can lead to clogging.
- Rinse your mouth well with water before eating or drinking anything.
Repeat these steps a few times per week or up to three times daily. You may also want to work your way up, starting with swishing for just 5 minutes and increasing the duration until you are able to do it for a full 15–20 minutes.
Oil pulling is simple, inexpensive, and effective, which can save you $$$ in the dentist's office, all you need is to add it to your daily routine. With persistence, you will see the benefits.
