Oil Pulling is an age -old Ayurvedic practice that has been used for generations to improve oral health and detoxify the body.

🥥 What is oil pulling?

Oil pulling is a method where you rinse a tablespoon of oil-such as coconut oil-in your mouth for about 15-20 minutes. The goal is to pull harmful bacteria, toxins and plaque out of your mouth and thus improve your oral health and overall well -being.

Coconut oil is a frequently chosen basis for oil pulling thanks to properties such as:

  • Antibacterial effect: Due to the lauric acid, coconut oil works strongly against bacteria such as Streptococcus Mutans.

  • Mild taste: More pleasant to use than other oils such as sesame or sunflower.

  • Natural whitening: Helps to remove the teeth deposits in a soft way.
