What is Oil Pulling (OP)?
Oil Pulling is a safe, simple, cheap and gentle ‘do it yourself home remedy’ that cures and prevents diseases and extends your healthy life.
It involves rinsing the mouth with 1 tablespoon (10ml) of oil for 15 to 20 minutes and spitting it out. You can use either sunflower oil or sesame oil, both of which are usually used for cooking and readily available in the home.
This simple therapy is completely harmless as you do not take any medicines - even the oil you use is spit out after OP. By helping the body get rid of toxins that have accumulated, Oil Pulling promotes self healing from within.
Oil Pulling has been mentioned in the ancient texts of Ayurveda. A similar process was also published at a conference of the “All Ukrainische Union, “of the oncologists (Specialists for tumor diseases) and bacteriologists, by Dr.med. Karach. Over the years, this simple therapy helped cure diseases of thousands of people around the world.

I have just begun oil pulling. I am using sesame oil. Have you heard of people having a gag reflex when they first start? I have not been able to do it for the recommended time but I want to continue. Some dental problems led me to look for answers and I found several websites on the subject. I would appreciate a reply to my email. Thanks for any help.
Sandy,
Please experiment with a different brand of oil or even a different type of oil such as sunflower oil. This might help you overcome the gag reflex.
You have not indicated the dental problem for which you are doing oil pulling.

I too have just been doing oil pulling for a week. I have developed an extremely sensitive tooth, and lost my voice. Could these be related to a healing crisis? Overall, I began to feel very good after 3-4 days. I am still at it.

Namaskar,
Could you please let me know if oil pulling has to be done before brushing the teeth Or Do i need to brush then oil pull and then again brush.
Pl. suggest
@Anrahyah
It may not be a reaction. Get your teeth checked by a dentist – they may be damaged or worn out. Continue to do OP for your throat – it will get cleared and voice will become better. Sensitiveness of teeth normally decreases and will go in course of time with OP.
@Pradeep
This therapy will certainly help in all your three problems.
This therapy will certainly help you.You will start feeling active immediately after you start OP. Your tired feeling will also disappear. Dandruff will take time , may be a few weeks to cure.
@Raj
More than brushing the teeth before OP , it is better you clean your tongue and wash your mouth before OP and then brush and clean your mouth after OP.
@Mary
Use sunflower oil or sesame oil if possible. You will get better much faster. Olive oil is not recommended for OP.
@SallyAnn Goebel
It will certainly prevent formation of cavities. It will heal any oral infections.
@rebecca
Sunflower and sesame oil have worked well for OP. Other oils have not been found to be as effective.
hi, i had done a root canal on both sides. so can i do op regularly or not. will it be effective. please let me know regarding this.
doctor, i had an cavity and was filled until now not put any cap over it . because of this, i am suffering severe sensitivity. will it be alright by doing op on regular basis. pl. reply soon. i am expecting ur reply. thanks.
@kailasam
I suggest you continue OP for one or two weeks.This will only help control infection if any and reducing pain.After this period you can decide to continue or not.
@kailasam
You can continue OP regularly after root canal treatment and it will be effective.
