Oil Pulling sounds like something physically impossible but it has its benefits.
It sounds like something you’d do as part of tuning up your car but oil pulling is actually a kind of Ayurvedic medicine that dates back to 3,000 years ago. In the olden days, oil pulling was practiced to prevent bleeding gums, dry throat, cracked lips and also to strengthen the teeth, gums and jaw. Oil pulling is done with sesame, sunflower, olive, palm and coconut oil.
However, do note that oil pulling doesn’t reverse the effects of tooth decay. So you shouldn’t replace regular brushing and flossing with just oil pulling and remember, do visit your dentist at least once a year.
