Can We Do Oil Pulling with Mustard Oil? Is It Safe and Effective for Oral Health? - #13457
I’ve heard about the benefits of oil pulling in Ayurveda for improving oral health, but I’m unsure whether it’s safe to use mustard oil for this practice. I understand that oil pulling helps with detoxifying the mouth, reducing bad breath, and promoting gum health, but I want to know if mustard oil is a good option. I’ve read that sesame oil and coconut oil are typically recommended for oil pulling, but I’m curious about whether mustard oil can be used effectively as well. I want to know if mustard oil provides the same oral health benefits without causing any irritation or side effects. If anyone has tried oil pulling with mustard oil, please share your experience. Did it help with oral health, freshening breath, or reducing plaque buildup? Were there any side effects, and how often did you perform oil pulling for the best results?
