Can Mustard Oil Be Used for Oil Pulling? What Are the Benefits of Oil Pulling with Mustard Oil? - #13766
I’ve been reading about oil pulling and how it’s a popular Ayurvedic practice for improving oral health and promoting detoxification. I know that most people use sesame oil or coconut oil for oil pulling, but I’m curious if mustard oil can also be used for this practice. I’ve heard that mustard oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, so I wonder if it can provide similar benefits in detoxifying the mouth, whitening teeth, and improving oral hygiene. Is there any specific method for using mustard oil for oil pulling? How long should it be swished in the mouth, and how often should it be done for the best results? If anyone has used mustard oil for oil pulling, please share your experience. Did it help with oral health, bad breath, or gum health? How long did it take to see results, and were there any side effects?
