On Friday mornings, we just expose; spilling the tea all over the place.
ONE. Oil Pulling
Have you heard of this holistic technique that people are attributing miraculous results to?
The practice of oil pulling has roots in ancient Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional system of healing that originated in India over 3,000 years ago. Where practitioners would swish sesame oil in their mouths to promote oral hygiene and overall whole-body health.
The concept gained modern popularity in the early 1990s when Dr. F. Karach, a Ukrainian physician, claimed that oil pulling with sunflower oil could cure various illnesses, including cancer and AIDS.
This led to increased interest in the practice, with enthusiasts advocating for its benefits in detoxifying the body and improving oral health.
Coconut oil specifically gained attention due to its antimicrobial properties, which are attributed to its high content of lauric acid.Â
Advocates suggest that coconut oil pulling can help -
Significantly (naturally) whiten teeth
Reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth
Prevent cavities
Promote gum health
And, even re-verse already existing cavities or infections

Keep in mind, that there’s anecdotal evidence supporting the benefits of oil pulling, although scientific research on its effectiveness is limited and often inconclusive.Â
Nonetheless, many people continue to practice oil pulling as part of their oral hygiene routine, alongside traditional methods like brushing and flossing, and are continuously claiming miracles.Â
How to oil pull -Â
Coconut oil pulling involves swishing room-temperature coconut oil around in your mouth for 5 to 15 minutes, typically first thing in the morning, and then spitting it out.Â
Continue then with your regular regimen of brushing your teeth and flossing, as these are crucial for preserving optimal oral hygiene.
