As you may have seen all over the internet and pinterest is "oil pulling"
Oil pulling refers to swishing a vegetable oil — like sunflower oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil — in your mouth. The oil is supposed to half-fill the mouth about 1 tbsp and then be sucked back and forth through the teeth. The oil and saliva mix as you swish sideways and back and forth for about 20 minutes. Trey was our test dumby for the lack of a better title. We had him use coconut oil as we live on a tropical island and it is readily available, literly growing on trees. This was a very peaceful 20 minutes as it was very difficult for him to talk as he was oil pulling in our precense.
From my online reseach while he was pulling I found that it hasn’t been proven and probably won’t ever be if oil pulling can cure everything from headaches to asthma. But it does seem to keep your mouth cleaner by cutting plaque.
But I must proclaim without a doubt the most beautiful thing about our oil pulling expirence was the 20 minutes of beautiful unsarcastic silence while Trey tested this out for himself!
