Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice believed to improve oral health by removing toxins from the mouth. Here’s a simple guide on how to oil pull your teeth for better oral health:
- Choose Your Oil: Select coconut, sesame, or sunflower oil. Coconut oil is popular due to its pleasant taste and antibacterial properties.
- Measure Out the Oil: Use one tablespoon of oil.
- Swish Gently: Swish the oil around your mouth, pulling it through your teeth for 15-20 minutes. Avoid swallowing.
- Spit Out the Oil: Spit the used oil into a trash can to avoid clogging your sink.
- Rinse and Brush: Rinse your mouth with warm water and brush your teeth as usual.
Incorporate oil pulling into your daily routine to promote better oral hygiene and overall health.
