Rihanna says, “I drink a lot of coconut water. It balances out all the other toxic stuff I put into my body.”
Well, if its good for RiRi, it’s good enough for us! Although, in this case, it is coconut oil we are talking about. The benefits of coconut oil can be traced back 2500 years in Ayurvedic scriptures. It is a gift that keeps giving. Coconut Oil Pulling is the newest trend whose benefits have come to light.
Coconut oil pulling is one of the most effective ways to remove bacteria and improve oral health. Although it has taken a while to gain momentum, the practice isn’t new. Oil pulling is an old remedy that uses natural substances to clean and detoxify teeth and gums. As a result, it whitens teeth naturally and improves the gums whilst removing harmful bacteria
How to do Coconut Oil Pulling?
All you need is a mouthful of coconut oil. Swish the oil in your mouth for a good 20 minutes first thing in the morning. It cuts through the plaque and removes toxins without harming the teeth or gums. It sucks the dirt out of your mouth, creating a clean oral environment as a result. This allows for the proper flow of dental liquid that you need to prevent cavities and disease.
Why should you do Coconut Oil Pulling?
The benefits to coconut oil pulling are immense, few of them include:
- Cures tooth decay
- Whitens teeth
- Strengthens gums and jaw
- Heals bleeding gums
- Kills bad breath
- Prevention of cavities
- Soothes throat dryness
- Reduces inflammation
Oil pulling is part of a comprehensive oral health cleanse, rather than a replacement to any element of a normal cleaning process. Microbes are picked up just like they are being drawn to a powerful magnet. Bacteria hiding under the crevices in the gums and in pores within the teeth are sucked out of their hiding places.
We know that tooth decay is caused by bacteria and for some users, not only does it contribute to oral health, but overall health and well being too.
