Did you know that you can considerably reduce your potential for developing cavities, naturally and at low cost?

In traditional Ayurvedic Medicine, oil pulling is used to prevent teeth decay, oral malodor, bleeding gums, dry throat, cracked lips, and for strengthening the teeth, gums, and jaws.
There have now been several studies that support these claims, initially recorded by Caraka Samhita of ancient India more than 3000 years ago. How to do oil pulling? Ayurvedic text recommends untoasted sesame oil, but you can also use cold-pressed, organic coconut or sunflower. Swish gently for twenty minutes using one teaspoon to one tablespoon of oil every morning before breakfast after brushing. Swish while going about your morning routine, in the shower, getting dressed, preparing breakfast, or taking a walk. Spit into the trash, rinse the mouth with clean water*, scrape the tongue, and brush again with a natural toothpaste. *You could also rinse with sole or salt water. Salt is also highly effective at reducing bacteria.
