Oil pulling - how can you keep from swallowing?
SusieDarli
I tried my first experience at oil pulling with olive oil. I tried so hard not to gulp (is that the same as swallowing) but the natural impulse was to gulp and I couldn't avoid it. I'm sure this will effect the result of the oil pulling. Any suggestions very appreciated. I would really like to try this out.

Oil pulling or oil swishing, in alternative medicine, is a traditional Indian folk remedy that involves swishing oil in the mouth for claimed oral and systemic health benefits. It is mentioned in the Ayurvedic text Charaka Samhita where it is called Kavala Gandoosha / Kavala Graha. It is also used to reduce enamel wear from stomach acid in hangovers and bulimics. DO NOT SWALLOW!!! swallowing this can lead to other problems such as stomach cramping and/or diarrhea.
The procedure is as follows:
The practitioner rinses their mouth with approximately one tablespoon of oil (sesame, sunflower, vegetable and coconut oils are the most recommended) for 15–20 minutes on an empty stomach (before eating/drinking) then spits it out.
This process makes oil thoroughly mixed with saliva. As the process continues, the oil gets thinner and white. The oil is put in the mouth, with chin tilted up, and slowly swished, sucked, chomped and pulled through the teeth. The oil changes from yellow and oily consistency to a thick viscous consistency. One must ensure that the oil is spit out before the toxins get re-absorbed by the body. If the oil viscosity starts thinning while swishing, it should be a sign that toxins are getting re-absorbed. A second round of oil pulling may be done with fresh oil for further cleansing. The oral cavity is then thoroughly rinsed and washed with normal tap water and fingers or tooth brush. This procedure is typically performed daily.
There is no scientific evidence that this works. 98% of studies don on oil pulling come up inconclusive. There is little to no effect and in some cases actually makes oral health decline.
