Can We Drink Water Before Oil Pulling, or Should It Be Done on an Empty Stomach? - #13980
I have recently started practicing oil pulling as part of my morning routine for oral detoxification and gum health, but I am confused about whether I can drink water before oil pulling or if it must be done completely on an empty stomach. Some sources say that drinking warm water before oil pulling helps activate digestion, while others recommend doing oil pulling first thing in the morning before consuming anything. Which approach is considered more beneficial according to Ayurveda? For those who practice oil pulling, what has been your experience? Did drinking water beforehand make a difference, or is it best to do oil pulling immediately upon waking? Would love insights from people who have been practicing oil pulling and whether drinking water before it has any impact on its effectiveness.
