How to perform oil pulling?
The application of this remedy is very easy and simple. Just swish several teaspoons of vegetable based oil, such as coconut, sesame or olive oil in your mouth for 20 minutes.
Spit the oil out after 20 minutes and rinse your mouth nicely. The best time for applying this method is in the morning, before eating or drinking anything. If you have more dangerous infections or dental problems, repeat the procedure before each meal.
Procedure:
First, put 1-2 teaspoons of some vegetable oil in your mouth.
Then, swish this oil in your mouth for exactly 20 minutes. The timing is extremely important, because 20 minutes is just enough to get rid of the harmful bacteria and plaque! Another important thing is that as the minutes pass by, the oil will get thicker and milky and it should be creamy-white when you spit it out.
You must not spit the oil into the sink! Spit the oil into your trash can. It will be full of bacteria, toxins and pus from your mouth. You must not swallow this oil!
Next, rinse your mouth using lukewarm water nicely.
The final step is to brush your teeth well.
