...About Oil Pulling...

Oil Pulling is swishing oil in your mouth, just like you would mouthwash, with the intent to clean and detoxify teeth. It is an old age remedy, that has been practiced in India for thousands of years, and is said to improve the health of your teeth and mouth.

The chemical property of oil is that, oil absorbs oil. The oil taken, mixes with the saliva, and turns into a thin white liquid. As the oil is swished around in the mouth, teeth, gums, and tongue, the lipids in the oil, break down and or absorb, oil based toxins in the mouth. 

It is also the property of oil absorbing oil that allows oil pulling to cut through, and break down plaque without hurting your teeth and gums, promoting cleaner and healthier teeth and gums.
