How Effective Is Oil Pulling in Ayurveda for Detox and Oral Health? - #13075
I have been experiencing frequent gum infections, bad breath, and tooth sensitivity, and I recently read about oil pulling in Ayurveda as a natural way to improve oral health and detoxify the body. I understand that oil pulling involves swishing oil in the mouth for a few minutes to remove toxins, but I want to know more about its actual benefits. Does oil pulling in Ayurveda only help with dental issues like plaque removal and gum health, or does it also improve digestion, immunity, and toxin removal from the body? Also, what type of oil is best—sesame oil, coconut oil, or specially medicated Ayurvedic oils? How often should oil pulling be done, and how long does it take to see visible benefits? If anyone has been practicing oil pulling in Ayurveda, please share your experience. Did it help with dental hygiene and overall health? Also, did you notice any other benefits like clearer skin, better digestion, or improved energy levels?
