Oil Pulling (Coconut/Sesame)
Gum Disease & Oral Bacteria
🌿 Oil Pulling (Coconut/Sesame)
Ancient Ayurvedic practice of swishing oil for 15-20 min. Oil traps bacteria, reduces plaque by 20%, and decreases gingivitis scores. Comparable to chlorhexidine mouthwash.
✅ Beneficios Principales
📋 Cómo Usar
Swish 1 tbsp coconut or sesame oil for 15-20 min each morning before eating. Spit into trash (not sink).
⚠️ Seguridad y Precauciones
Do not swallow the oil. Spit into trash to avoid drain clogs. Not a replacement for brushing.
☠️ Riesgo de Toxicidad y Sobredosis
Not toxic per se, but accidental aspiration of oil into lungs can cause lipoid pneumonia — a serious condition. Swallowing the oil after pulling introduces oral bacteria and toxins into the GI tract. Oil pulling should never replace professional dental care for serious conditions. Some reports of jaw soreness from prolonged swishing.
