What is oil pulling?

Oil Pulling is a very simple treatment whose origins comes from an ancient Ayurvedic health practice from India.

What you need?

Good quality oil (it is better if they are organic, cold or expeller-pressed and unrefined) such as:

• Coconut Oil

• Sunflower Oil

• Untoasted Sesame Oil

Procedure:

Put one tablespoon of oil in your mouth when your stomach is empty*. This means you haven't eaten for 3 hours.

Slowly move the oil around, pulling it between your teeth. After 20 minutes**, spit out, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth with warm salt water.


*If one tablespoon of oil seems like too much, start with a smaller amount, gradually increasing until the amount of oil in your mouth feels right.

** If 20 minutes seems too long, pull for 5 minutes and gradually increase the time to 20 minutes.

My treatment:
Daily scrubbing with Homemade Salicylic Acid Scrub; soap: homemade vegetable glycerin & essential oils. I always moisturize with organic oils. Omega 3 supplements from Mercury Free Fish Oil. Arms 100% clear.
As of January 2010: My KP has returned but this time on my thighs and a little bit on the sides of my body. Maybe it is stress related or the fact that I left my skin without exfoliating on December.

Also have psoriasis which Derm prescribed for short term use Clobetasol.
As of Jan 2010: I'm back on Clobetasol for a month.

Mi tratamiento: Exfoliacion diaria con acido salicilico. Jabon hecho en casa de glicerina vegetal y aceites esenciales. Siempre humecto la piel con aceites organicos. Tomo Omega 3 de Aceite de Pescado. Tambien padezco de psoriasis para la cual del dermatologo me receto Clobetasol para el uso no prolongado .
Desde enero 2010: Mi KP ha regresado en mis muslos, quizas debido a stress y ademas deje de exfoliarme durante el mes de diciembre. Mi psoriasis empeoro tambien, asi que estoy nuevamente bajo el tratamiento de clobetasol por un mes.

oil pulling helps you to get rid of toxins, right?

It helps get rid of toxins from the mouth area. This helps the whole body, because otherwise, the toxins would be absorbed through mouth tissue or swallowed, and then the body's elimination organs would have to work more, adding to a possible overload.

My treatment: Oil pulling daily; candida diet (minimum of carbs, no sugars); omega-3 from canned salmon and sardines; sun exposure 10-15 minutes, 3 days a week, without sunblock; program to strengthen immune system; probiotic supplements; lots of water; moderate daily exercise; exfoliation with epsom salts and sugar several times a week. KP reduced 99%. If I go "off diet" -- grains, sugars, etc. -- or stop oil pulling, KP returns.

i've been oil pulling for about three weeks.
i've seen results but seem to be at a stand still.
how long did it take you to recieve complete results?
and why do we need to oil pull on an empty stomach?

Erin Nicole:

I think it would be better if Kebod answered your questions on her thread. That way we can keep the website organized.
