What are the benefits of Gandusha in Ayurveda? - #12714

Anonymously

For years, I’ve struggled with gum sensitivity, frequent canker sores, and a dry throat that gets worse in winter. I recently heard about Gandusha in Ayurveda, and some people claim it’s a powerful remedy for oral health and overall detoxification. But how exactly does it work, and what are its key benefits? I’ve tried regular oil pulling before but didn’t notice much difference. From what I understand, Gandusha in Ayurveda is a bit different, using medicated oils or herbal decoctions. Does it provide deeper healing for gum issues, or is it more focused on pulling out toxins? Can it also help with throat infections or prevent cavities? Another thing I’m curious about is the frequency. Should Gandusha in Ayurveda be done daily, or is it better as an occasional therapy? Is there a best time of day for it? If you’ve been practicing Gandusha in Ayurveda, I’d love to know your experience. Did it help with specific oral health problems? How soon did you see improvements, and do you have any tips for beginners?

Gandusha in Ayurveda is a more focused and therapeutic version of oil pulling. It involves holding medicated oils or herbal decoctions in the mouth, which are swirled around or held for several minutes before being spit out. This practice helps detoxify the oral cavity, strengthen the gums, improve throat health, and potentially even aid in preventing infections and cavities. Unlike regular oil pulling, which mainly draws out toxins, Gandusha is used with specific medicinal oils or decoctions based on your needs—such as sesame oil for general oral health or herbal concoctions like neem for infections. It helps with gum sensitivity, canker sores, and throat dryness, as it soothes inflammation and balances the body’s doshas. You can practice Gandusha daily, preferably in the morning before eating or drinking, for the best results. Beginners may want to start with a few times a week, gradually increasing frequency as they become comfortable. Most people notice improvements after consistent use, but it may take a few weeks to see significant results. It’s a gentle yet effective therapy that complements your oral care routine.
