Our bodies have a natural detox mechanism, constantly eliminating the accumulated toxins that are metabolic byproducts. But the rising amount of chemicals in our bodies- ingested as pesticides, medicines and pollutants are more than our body can handle.
If you suffer from constipation, acne, exhaustion, excess gas, sinus, depression, mood swings, nausea, halitosis and a low immunity, you might need to undergo a detox or cleansing.
As opposed to complicated detox methods, Oil Pulling offers surprisingly easy way to cleanse your system and push out those toxins every day. An added bonus- get pearly white teeth without chemical bleaches.
What is Oil Pulling?
Oil-Pulling is a morning ritual derived from the best kept secrets of the Ayurveda. It requires swishing or pulling, cold-pressed, unrefined sesame oil, in your mouth for several minutes. It rids the mouth of the bacteria, germs, parasites and other toxins that cause secondary infections and chronic inflammation- leading to a number of health problems.
How to Perform Oil Pulling?
Oil-Pulling should be done first thing in the morning, before consuming any water or food.
- Put a spoonful of, cold-pressed Sesame oil in your mouth and swish it around for 15-20 minutes
- Spit it Out: Do not swallow the oil, the swishing leaves oil full of toxins and germs
- Brush your teeth.
Helpful Tips:
- The first few times, the taste of oil will make you want to gag. Be persistent and in time, you’ll be ok
- In case sesame oil isn’t available; other cold-pressed, refined vegetable oils can also be used.
