What is oil pulling? In a society riddled with complicated, expensive and even dangerous detoxification methods, oil pulling offers a technique that is refreshingly simple. Oil pulling therapy is a practice taken from Ayurvedic medicine that involves swishing, or pulling, unrefined oil in your mouth for several minutes. The modern adaptation of oil pulling has only recently become popular in Western society, but already many are reporting amazing results from this unorthodox therapy.
With that being said I thought why not? I’m trying it for a month at least, with coconut oil. The reason primarily being my oral hygiene and health have gone to the crapper since two pregnancies, and no regular cleanings have occurred in about 5 years. Eek yeah I know writing and admitting that even hurts. After speaking with my friend Jennifer today I thought hey why not? Read up on it, and if it even does a fraction of what people are claiming, ill be thrilled. So, day one, began this evening yeah I know it said to start in the AM but I figured sooner is better than later. I crunched the hardened coconut oil with my teeth to liquefy it and swished away. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be and after 20minutes I already had things that had been stuck in my teeth for at least 24 hours swish right out. Nice! Plus I do have to admit I brushed with a tiny amount of toothpaste and used a tongue scraper and my teeth feel amazingly clean. Including the spots where I had some errosion on my front teeth. So here’s a pic of Day 1
Ill update each week 
happy oil pulling to you!
UPDATE:
So the problem I encountered with this experiment was the time commitment. I barely even have time to work out for 20 minutes but to swish for the full 20 minutes was pretty difficult. The days I did manage to fit it in though my mouth did fell exceptionally clean. I also noticed that if I had a cut or anything in my mouth it was healed almost instantly after I swished. 
I can definitely see the benefits.
