Product Description

Get ready to smile bright with the unbelievable benefits of oil pulling, an age-old Ayurvedic practice with benefits you’ll have to see to believe! We can all agree that there are a few things that equal a happy mouth - dazzling teeth, fresh breath, and zero gum discomfort. By adding our Organic Whitening Pulling Oil into your daily dental routine, you’ll get just that. Here’s how it works: First, swishing, or pulling, the coconut and sunflower oils through your teeth dislodges bacteria, plaque, and food particles from all corners of your mouth, attracting them to the oil and getting them out of where they shouldn't be. As the oil moves around your mouth, it gently reduces stains from the surface of your teeth, helping them appear whiter and brighter without the need for harsh chemicals or procedures that can strip away enamel and irritate your gum line. Next, minty Peppermint instantly freshens your breath while a touch of Clove helps calm dreaded oral discomfort and soothe irritation. Vitamin E offers an extra touch of care thanks to its antioxidant properties, helping safeguard your mouth by supporting immune function and protecting against oxidative stress.

With our Organic Whitening Pulling Oil, you’re getting the highest quality ingredients you've come to know and love. Made in small batches and always fresh, this ancient technique is an effective way to boost your oral care routine, pull toxins out, and brighten your beautiful smile! But make sure to always follow up with brushing and flossing, along with regular trips to the dentist, to keep everything healthy and in tip-top shape!

The Benefits of Oil Pulling

Transform your oral care routine with the ancient practice of oil pulling. This simple yet effective technique can improve oral hygiene, reduce bad breath, whiten teeth, and even help prevent gum disease.

Oil pulling is a traditional practice with numerous benefits for oral hygiene and overall well-being. Incorporating this simple technique into your daily routine can transform your dental health and provide a refreshing start to your day.

  • Improved Oral Hygiene: Swishing oil products in your mouth for a few minutes can help dislodge food particles, bacteria, and plaque from hard-to-reach areas, preventing tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Reduced Bad Breath: The antimicrobial properties of oils like peppermint and clove help eliminate the bacteria responsible for bad breath, leaving your mouth feeling clean and refreshed.
  • Whiter Teeth: Regular oil pulling reduces stains on your teeth without harsh chemicals, leading to a brighter, whiter smile over time.
  • Calmed Oral Irritation: Clove oil, in particular, is known for its soothing properties, helping calm irritated gums and provide relief from oral discomfort.
  • Detoxification: Oil pulling products reduce the body’s toxic load by removing toxins and bacteria from the oral cavity, potentially leading to better overall health.

Incorporating oil pulling into your daily routine is simple yet effective. Start with 2-5 minutes and gradually work up to 20 minutes for maximum effectiveness. Use our Organic Whitening Pulling Oil once daily in the morning for best results. This product combines coconut and sunflower oils with peppermint and clove oils for a fresh, minty experience that supports dental health and overall wellness.

History of Oil Pulling

Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice with roots dating back 3,000 to 5,000 years in India. Originally, the ancients used it to balance bodily energies known as doshas and prevent diseases caused by their imbalances. Traditional methods involved several minutes of swishing oils like sesame or coconut to promote oral health and detoxification.

Today, oils like coconut are popular for their antimicrobial properties, making oil pulling a holistic addition to modern dental care routines. Despite its ancient origins, oil pulling remains a relevant and beneficial practice for improving oral hygiene and overall well-being.

Possible Side Effects

While oil pulling products offer numerous benefits, be aware of potential side effects and interactions.

Common Side Effects

Most people tolerate oil pulling well, but some may experience mild reactions:

  • Mild Skin or Gum Reactions: Ingredients like Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (FCO) and sunflower seed oil are generally safe but might cause irritation or redness in individuals with sensitive skin.
  • Oral Discomfort: Some users might find the swishing action uncomfortable or experience slight jaw fatigue. This subsides as you get accustomed to the practice.
  • Gastrointestinal Issues: Accidentally swallowing small amounts of oil could lead to stomach discomfort or changes in taste.

Potential Interactions

Specific components in essential oils can interact with medications or exacerbate certain conditions. Peppermint oil can interact with medications like cyclosporine and diabetes drugs, affecting their efficacy. Also, Eugenol, found in clove oil, can interfere with blood clotting.

Who Should Avoid the Product

Certain groups should avoid this practice or seek medical advice before starting:

  • Pregnant and Nursing Women: Consult a healthcare provider before using essential oil products during pregnancy or while nursing.
  • Individuals with Allergies: Those allergic to coconut oil, sunflower oil, or any essential oils used should avoid the product.
  • Children: Oil pulling is generally not recommended for young children due to the risk of accidentally swallowing the oil.
  • People with Bleeding Disorders: Due to clove oil’s effect on blood clotting, individuals with bleeding disorders or those on blood-thinning medication should use it under medical supervision.

Understanding these potential side effects and interactions ensures you can safely enjoy the benefits of oil pulling.

Oil Pulling Does Not Replace Brushing and Flossing

While oil pulling offers numerous benefits, it should not replace traditional oral hygiene practices. For optimal dental health, incorporate oil pulling into your routine alongside brushing and flossing:

  1. Morning Routine: Start your day with oil pulling for 10 minutes to freshen your breath and remove toxins.
  2. Brushing: Follow up with brushing using fluoride toothpaste to ensure thorough cleaning.
  3. Flossing: Don’t skip flossing! It’s essential for reaching areas that brushing and oil pulling can’t access.

Remember to brush and floss regularly for complete dental health, and use oil pulling products to enhance your oral care routine.

How to Use

Add a tablespoon of Organic Whitening Pulling Oil into your mouth and gently swish around your mouth, pulling in and out through your teeth. This may feel a little strange at first, so if a tablespoon is too much, start with a smaller amount until you are more comfortable with the process.

Begin with pulling for 2-5 minutes, then try to work up to 20! The longer you do it, the more effective the results will be.

Make sure to always spit the oil into your trash - NOT the sink. Oil and plumbing systems don’t get along, and repeatedly spitting oil down the drain may damage your sewer lines and septic system.

Once the oil is out of your mouth, do a quick rinse with water and brush and floss as usual. And voilà! A beautiful smile. For best results, use once daily in the morning.
