Ancient Swishing Secrets: Oral Oil Pulling<\/strong><\/p>\n

We roam drug store dental aisles perusing a plethora of periodontal promises ranging from fluoride floss to menthol mouthwash. Searching for solutions, we attain countless tubes of gels and paste, we maintain the ingrained hygienist and dentist appointments, and we brush with daily-diligence for decades; yet the possibility of periodontal disease percolates. Receding, bleeding gums are the norm; unexpected cavities form and millions of root canals are performed. The definition of insanity, doing the same thing and expecting different results, applies to our current state of oral care.<\/p>\n

Enter ancient techniques and botanical extracts for oral swishing. When we swish our saliva with soothing serums of botanical extracts rich in phytonutrients known for their anti-inflammatory, lipid-soluble, lymph-stimulating nature that nurtures, the very thin skin of the oral epithelium gums can heal and seal and teeth can gleam white and bright.<\/p>\n

Oil swishing<\/strong>, otherwise known as oil pulling, is an ancient Ayurvedic medicinal practice used to detoxify the mouth, teeth, gums, and the entire oral cavity. Although this practice has been used throughout the ages, it has only recently begun to gain traction in the Western world. Scientists, holistic practitioners, and dentists are singing the praises of oil swishing and its ability to draw toxins from the mouth and flush them from the body.<\/p>\n

A Quick Swish Through Time<\/h3>\n

From ancient Egypt to ancient India, archaeologists have found the remains of human beings with beautiful, strong, perfectly intact teeth\u2026 long before fluorinated toothpastes and bristled toothbrushes were invented.<\/p>\n

Ancient peoples did not use synthetic commercial toothpastes and alcohol-based mouthwashes. They used natural means to keep teeth and gums healthy, including teeth picking and oil pulling. The oil pulling process involves swishing in the mouth about a tablespoon of oil for 15 minutes. Oil swishing draws toxins and tartar from the oral cavity and between the teeth. It facilitates the flow of tooth and tongue-bathing saliva, and balances the pH in the mouth. The warm, liquefied oil dissolves and traps food and tartar on the teeth and \u201cbrushes\u201d your teeth as you swish.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n
