How does Kabalam help with oral health and detoxification? - #12709
Lately, I’ve been dealing with bad breath, occasional gum swelling, and a strange white coating on my tongue. Even though I brush twice a day and use mouthwash, the problem keeps coming back. A few days ago, I came across kabalam in an Ayurveda discussion, and it seems like it could help with oral health and detoxification. From what I understand, kabalam involves holding medicinal liquids in the mouth, but I’m not sure how different it is from regular oil pulling. Does it work the same way, or is it more intense? Also, what kind of oils or decoctions are used in kabalam? Are there specific ingredients that work better for oral issues like bad breath and gum problems? Another concern I have is whether kabalam is safe to do daily. Can it cause any side effects like dryness or sensitivity? And how long should I hold the liquid in my mouth for maximum benefits? If anyone here has tried kabalam, please share your experience. Did it help with oral health, and how long did it take to see improvements? Also, is there a specific time of day that works best for it?
