Oil Pulling??

Yes- raw pulling is a very simple process thought to help you pull toxins from your mouth, which is the 'first stop' for all foods that go into your body, and can often harbour a lot more dodgy toxins than are taken care of by regular tooth cleaning. So essentially it is a detoxifier.

The preferred oil is Sunflower Oil which, theoretically does not have to be organic- but I prefer to use this. You take a tablespoon of oil in your mouth and swish it back and forth vigorously for at least 3 minutes to start with- although ideally you keep going for 15. NEVER SWALLOW the oil as it becomes a soup of toxins drawn out from the mouth. When you are done the oil should look like a pale yellow milk- then spit it out and rinse your mouth out a lot with water and clean your teeth.

First thing in the morning and last thing at night is recommended- with a stint of about 30 days for kick off.

Being a creature of no particular consistent habit, I have done this sporadically. I also recommended it to a friend of mine who had raging bleeding gum problems and abcesses- as well as the most dodgy diet you can think of- and he was completely AMAZED by how his mouth problems cleared up in days.

You can find out a lot more in detail by googling 'Oil Pulling'- it's hard work on the face to begin with, and tricky to keep it in your mouth if your friends are goofing about- but apart from the detoxifying- it is a great toner for face muscles.
