What are the benefits of Gandusha Kriya for dental and throat health? - #12710

Anonymously

I’ve always had sensitive teeth and throat infections at least 3-4 times a year. Even a slight change in weather gives me a sore throat, and sometimes, it turns into a full-blown infection. Someone recommended gandusha kriya, saying it helps strengthen the gums, teeth, and throat. I know it involves holding medicinal liquids in the mouth, but how is gandusha kriya different from oil pulling? Does it work better for throat health compared to regular rinsing? Also, which oils or decoctions are most effective for throat infections and sensitivity? I’m a bit worried because my teeth are already sensitive. Could gandusha kriya make them more sensitive, or does it actually help in reducing sensitivity? How long does one need to do it before noticing a difference? If anyone has used gandusha kriya for similar issues, please share your results. Was it effective for throat health and dental issues? How often should it be done for lasting benefits?

Gandusha Kriya is similar to oil pulling but typically involves holding medicated liquids (such as herbal decoctions or oils) in the mouth for a longer period, usually around 5 to 10 minutes, to cleanse and strengthen the gums, teeth, and throat. Unlike regular rinsing, gandusha focuses more on detoxifying and nourishing the tissues in the mouth and throat. For throat infections and sensitivity, oils like sesame oil, coconut oil, or medicated oils like Triphala or Talisadi taila are commonly used. These oils help soothe inflammation, kill bacteria, and reduce sensitivity. If done correctly, gandusha Kriya should not worsen tooth sensitivity; in fact, it can help strengthen the gums and reduce inflammation, leading to less sensitivity over time. To see noticeable benefits, it is typically recommended to perform the practice daily for about 2-3 weeks. However, if your teeth are extremely sensitive, it's important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor the treatment and avoid any irritation.
