You mention unrefined sesame oil as an alternate to coconut oil yet, the coconut oil pictured is refined. Does it matter for coconut oil? How many parts water to coconut oil should you swish with?

I love c.o.p., btw, no one here has mentioned that it is very important not to swallow any of it because then you’re swallowing some pretty undesirable bacteria that you’ve been releasing from the pulling. I also wanted to mention one word of caution. This, btw never happened to me, but both of my sisters individually reported having their teeth start to ‘grey’ after a while, though, again I never noticed this issue. One of those sisters was going overboard doing it more than once a day, the other was using sesame oil and I can’t say for sure if it was the proper oil, (unrefined, organic etc). That said, I am picking up the practice once again because I loved the way it made me feel!!! And I never experienced this “greying” of the teeth. Btw, for those who were curious how to pull, I watched it on youtube, my favorite video was this one:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQe8etKJ9a4&feature=fvwrel, I liked the way she added extra little things you need to know, like don’t spit it down your drains, and how the enzymes are working their magic, etc, her’s is an informative video, I watched a few. I don’t know her in any way, btw so my suggestion is not biased or paid for etc, just an fyi, you be the judge.
Cheers.

I have tried oil pulling to help improve my dental health. I worked to keep the cavities away, plus fresh breath and healthy gums. It’s really easy to do and also very relaxing.

my dad’s been oil pulling for years now, except he uses sunflower oil. he’s living proof that oil pulling improves oral health. sorry i can’t provide evidence in medical context, but let’s just say that after a few weeks of daily oil pulling, his dentist appointment for surgery (root canal/tooth decay or something along those lines) was canceled and the doctor was incredibly shocked. my dad never told him about oil pulling…

Oil pulling is great. I would recommend unrefined sesame oil. That is what they use in India.

The one thing I would mention is that this practice might loosen crowns or fillings. So be aware of this. It is rare but possible.
