How Effective Is Ayurvedic Oil Pulling for Oral and Overall Health? - #13321
I have been reading about Ayurvedic oil pulling, which is said to be an ancient practice for improving oral hygiene, detoxifying the body, and enhancing overall health. Unlike regular mouthwash, oil pulling involves swishing natural oils in the mouth to remove toxins and bacteria, but I want to know how effective it actually is for dental health and other health benefits. Some of the most commonly recommended oils for oil pulling include coconut oil, which is believed to have antibacterial properties, sesame oil, which is known for strengthening gums, and sunflower oil, which is said to help in reducing plaque buildup. I want to understand whether oil pulling helps in whitening teeth, preventing bad breath, and improving gum health, and whether it has any long-term detox benefits for digestion and immunity. If anyone has tried Ayurvedic oil pulling, please share your experience. Did it help in improving oral health, preventing cavities, or providing any additional health benefits? How long did it take to see noticeable improvements, and is it safe for everyday use?
