Do you have cavities, gingivitis and bad breath? 15-20 minutes of swishing a mouthful (approximently 1 tablespoon) of oil such as sesame seed, coconut or avocado oil around your mouth like a mouthwash will help you to have a better and healthier oral hygiene. How about doing this while you are in the shower to save time? When you are done spit the oil in a throw away cup to prevent it from clogging your drain if using coconut oil.
This is an old Indian folk remedy that has been used for centuries. It reduces the number of harmful bacteria in your mouth thus reducing plaque and cavities. Also, if you desire to remove stains from coffee, tea and other drinks, you should use coconut oil because it will help whiten your teeth. It also helps with your gum health and bad breath. Oil pulling from a couple of times/week to daily can definitely be of benefit. When you are done give your teeth a good brushing with a fluoride-free toothpaste and rinse.
I am married and live with my husband and our 2 adult children. My oldest son is 26 and our other son is 24. The dog's name is Ginny. My oldest son was born with Down Syndrome. He is also diagnosed with a type of autism, and deafness in one ear. He had graves disease which is now in remission. My other son has Asperger's syndrome. My husband was diagnosed in 2018 with Addison's disease (rare adrenal gland autoimmune disease). So as you can imagine we have a very busy household. Recently, I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition and saw my health deteriorating and thus forced me back to examining "how did I get to this stage of health?" I have 35 years of medical background training and have researched many alternative health areas in a quest to help myself and my family. It is from this experience that I am hoping to help you come to an area of greater health in your mind, body, and spirit.
