Have you ever heard of the health benefits of oil pulling, an aryuvedic health practice?
I thought I had tried or at least heard of every detox out there so imagine my surprise when I came across this method mentioned in the Q&A section of a favorite website I frequent.I had never heard of this method & was anxious to find out more.It is easy, safe and inexpensive.
Oil pulling is not new -just new to me. Apparently people have been doing this with great results- health benefits for quite a while! I've been doing it for a week and I find it beneficial already so I couldn't wait to tell someone!!!

HOW TO:
Each morning before brushing your teeth, eating or drinking, take 1 TBSP of either sesame or sunflower oil in your mouth, tilt your chin up and slowly swish, suck, chomp and pull through the teeth for at least 10 minutes. when you finally spit it out the oil will have become white . If it is still yellow, you haven't done it long enough.You may want to do this 2 more times during the day but make sure you do it on an empty stomach. After each session (be sure do have not swallowed the oil) Spit and rinse with water then brush your teeth.
Benefits and results
People have enjoyed increased health and claim to have "cured" so many ailments from fibromyalgia to skin diseases and many other afflictions. I know the evidence is only anecdotal so do your own research. Personally I have noticed that my teeth have become whiter in a short time. A factor to keep in mind is that in all detox modalities there may be a reaction sometimes called a healing crisis, as toxins are removed from the system. Interestingly, Ayurveda advises oil gargling "to purify the taste-buds and the entire system", as Dr Deepak Chopra explains in his book Perfect Health. The tongue is thought of as a map of the internal organs - that is, each section of the tongue is connected to the kidneys, lungs, spleen, liver, heart, pancreas, small intestines, stomach, colon, and spine.

- I have been doing this for a couple of weeks, and my skin is clearing up and my teeth are whiter. The best thing is my skin tags are starting to fall off. I hope to see more results as I keep on doing this
