Natural, Holistic and RAW Lifestyle>Oil Pulling Anyone???
Jack Sprat 01:02 PM 03-07-2014
I bought organic coconut oil, for oil pulling. Has anyone tried this? I'm going to try it tonight. I have read that morning is better, but that would mean getting up a bit earlier to have time to drink coffee and do the oil pulling. And, frankly I'm to lazy to get up any earlier and to addicted to coffee to cut that short.

this was very common in my home country as a child, but I don't think we did it. 20minutes is way too long for me to keep my mouth shut....lol

I tried it today for the first time. I only lasted ten minutes and I used to much and gagged myself. I had never heard of it until my daughter send me a link to a blog about it. I'm going to try to do it everyday.

What a coincidence! I JUST mentioned this in my Manuka Honey & Bee Venom postI bought organic coconut oil, for oil pulling. Has anyone tried this? I'm going to try it tonight.

I do oil pulling with organic coconut oil. I use a tablespoon full and swish while I take a shower for 20 minutes. Don't swallow or spit it down the drain. Just spit it out in the trash or napkin when finished.
This is the one I prefer:
I also use their coconut butter in my tea.

I do exactly what Michael does. Twenty minutes in the shower. The first time I did it, I wasn't sure if I could hack 'chewing' up the coconut oil to soften it, but it's not that bad at all. Just don't use too much.

Yep, I do it sometimes. Haven't since I ran out of coconut oil and haven't gotten more. But 1 TB, swish for 20 minutes, spit into trash. I prefer in the morning but like my sleep 
so often end up doing it in the evening. Have knocked out a few colds and brewing illnesses by doing it even just once. And when I was in the habit of it a few times a week for awhile, my teeth were DEFINITELY less sensitive and always had that "fresh from the dentist" feel!!
