How to try oil-pulling for a month
How I did it: I used two types of organic extra virgin coconut oil, Omega Nutrition (no coconut taste), and EFAGold (coconut taste). I took 1/2 - 1 tsp in the mouth first thing in the morning, swished around for 10 - 20 minutes, then spat out white foamy liquid + mucus into a disposable plastic bag. Rinsed mouth with sea salt water solution, then drank water and brushed teeth.
The dental hygienist noted, within five days of my program initiation, fewer calculus deposits than would be expected. The saliva used in oil pulling washed the teeth enamel. I also had more energy throughout the day. The dark circles under my eyes have diminished some. Transitory detoxification effects or "healing crises" happened as well: lymph glands swelled three days after initiating the oil-pulling program, making swallowing painful, but shrank to normal size and painfree condition within 24 hours.
Some people have claimed this helps them lose weight. I have not yet lost weight.
Sinus passages cleared, lungs readier at expelling mucus, ear wax reduced.
Lessons & tips: stick with oil-pulling if you want to clear up a chronic disease, one month isn't going to do it for you
coconut oil is terrific for popcorn, good as a skin moisturizer and capable as a hair moisturizer.
