Coconut Oil Pulling Benefits and How to Do Oil Pulling | Dr. Josh Axe

Coconut Oil Pulling Benefits and How-To Guide: bit.ly/2sURSWj
In order to oil pull, take two teaspoons of sesame, coconut, or olive oil and lightly swoosh in your mouth for 10- 20 minutes a day.
It's been shown to help tooth decay, bleeding gums, naturally whiten teeth, strengthen your jaw muscles, cleanse your mouth, kill bad bacteria, and even support weight loss.
Afterwards, spit the oil out, rinse your mouth with water, and brush your teeth as normal. Perform this routine every day for two weeks and then just twice a week.

    Hi everyone, This is for those people who are thinking whether or not it works. My story: I was suffering from sensitivity/gum disease for 6 long years, and finally decided to try oil pulling using coconut oil. To be honest, first 3 weeks I didn't get any results and I lost all hopes and about to give up!! Since I bought a expensive coconut oil bottle and decided to finish it, that's when miracle happened. Trust me, after 2 months I am not at all experiencing sensitivity or any gum issues. Thanks to all those positive people in the youtube who helped me to believe that it works!!

    This works! In 2016, I had severe gum issues. My jaw felt as though it was almost wired shut, I could barely open my mouth to speak. I oil pulled with coconut oil ( I don't remember the particular brand) once/twice daily for about a week. I thought oil pulling wouldn't be able to help and I almost gave up because the pain persisted. Then out of nowhere within that time I was able to speak and eat normally. I highly recommend oil pulling.

But, afterwards I swish with salt water...not just plain water. Not sure it makes a difference, but it does get the oil out of the mouth to floss and brush like normal. Hope everyone gives it a go!!

    I vouch for this. I’ve recently been oil pulling everyday with coconut oil, I use raw organic cold pressed coconut oil (1 tablespoon first thing in the morning for 20 mins) then rinse with water, clean my tongue with a tongue scraper, brush then floss, rinse out again. I found this more effective to do it first thing in the morning as apparently that’s when you have more bacteria in your mouth. My mouth feels incredibly clean! My teeth have actually gone whiter by a lot. I definitely suggest it to anyone who is curious to try. I didn’t think it would do much but it definitely improved my oral hygiene for sure. Works incredible well alongside a tongue scraper

    Pulling coconut oil is fixing my receded gums. The main thing I use to measure is I have a bottom front tooth that has it's root showing. It's my worst tooth as far as gum recession. The root section is almost halfway closed up from where it was 3 weeks ago. I think it'll be completely healed within a couple months. I also feel I should add within that time I've stopped smoking, drinking, and eating junk food. Before that I was on a relatively healthy diet aside from eating sweets. My diet is now mainly vegetables and fruits, maybe meat 2-3 times a week, very rarely do I eat grains, no sweets. I'm sure those factors help as well but the oil pulling is the star of the show.

    i'm only in my 20s, but for the past year, i had some traumatic things happen in my life, so i pretty much threw my life away, and didnt brush my teeth everyday. for one year, i literally brushed my teeth maybe like 2x, even after eating junk food. i was unemployed during this time, and lived alone, so no one knew about this but me. anyhow, some of my family members are dentists, and i showed them my teeth after i realized that my gums have receded, and they told me that it was pretty severe. keep in mind, i had perfect teeth, perfect gums a year ago. i underestimated how much damage one year of not brushing can do, and now my gums are receding. anyway, ive been desperately oil pulling, flossing after anything i eat, and scaling my teeth every single day. i hope my gums grow back cuz im sorrrrrry ;(

I've been doing this for almost a year and my mouth feels so clean. Some days I don't even feel like brushing my teeth anymore because it feels clean. I haven't had any dental problems this year except for when I chipped my tooth. Haha.

I was pulling with EV olive oil with a few drops of tea tree essn oil while watching this video last night. I am amazed at the relief I felt and I am feeling today. I overslept this morning so I had to run out and just chew xylitol gum, but still the relief is significant. I guess I will be living the oil pulling life. I will update.

My gums have gone from REALLY BAD (dark red and tons of blood when brushing and flossing) to EXCEPTIONAL (light pink and no more bleeding). This took only about a week to pull off, and now it's just maintenance. Oil pulling has upgraded my dental care routine in a huge way, because it helps keep me on top of the morning and night brushing. I also soak my brush heads in isopropyl alcohol to make sure they're not holding any bacteria. Looking forward to my dentist's reaction when i go on for a cleaning!

Any sessions less than 10mins is not fully allowing the oils to penetrate through the layers of plaque and bacteria. And anything over 20mins can cause the body to reabsorb the toxins.

    To all reading this: DO THIS! I've been oil pulling on and off for a year. Although my teeth haven't whitened as much as I hoped, I absolutely can't live without it. Maybe it hasn't been studied enough; maybe it's only minimally effective accd'g to dental science, but all I know is, when I oil pull, my mouth feels like I just left the dentist. That feeling, only better. I find 21 minutes, not 20, is optimal for me. Every time I oil pull, my mouth feels that clean - so we're talking every day, if you choose to do it that often. Of course, I brush and floss afterwards. Don't spit in your drain; your plumber will hate you. And when you rinse your mouth with water afterwards, spit that in the garbage, too, because it still puts oil in the drain. And don't worry, you won't be tempted to swallow. I can't say enough about it - cheap, effective, do it while you're watching TV, and your mouth feels fantastic. It's worth it for that alone.

    How long do you wait till you ate or drank anything? And did you do this at night or in the morning? If at night, do you have to do on an empty stomach? Thanks in advance!

    The swishing sound was the best!! But seriously, oil pulling is very beneficial 🙃
