So what are the top benefits to oil pulling? Below are my top five favorites.
Top 5 Oil Pulling Health Benefits
1. Improves Oral Health
Many of us suffer from oral issues. Cavities, gingivitis, plaque buildup. All of these are common issues that we face one time or the other. Even dull teeth plagues many. We spend hundreds of dollars to whiten or fix our teeth. This money can be spent more wisely. Why dump the chemicals of whitening strips on your sensitive teeth? The oil is a natural antibiotic that brightens and cleans teeth. Oil pulling also removes bad breath. The anti-viral and anti-microbial properties kills many microorganisms responsible for bad breath and mouth diseases.
2. Boost Energy
Your immune system is one of the most important features of our body. It keeps us healthy. It provides us with energy. It keeps us safe. Your mouth is one of the dirtiest parts of your body. It is constantly full of bacteria. Your body is constantly wasting precious energy to kill this bacteria before it causes any harm. With oil pulling these bacteria are removed. Your body is fighting less hard to maintain itself. The result? More energy to do the things that you love.
3. Reduce your Migraines
Migraines are the body’s way to say it is under stress. Have you ever noticed during stressful situations you develop headaches? Before a big test? Before a big interview? These headaches can deter you from reaching your maximum potential. Stop this. By oil pulling you relieve the stress your mouth gives to your body. A happy mouth leads to a happy state of mind.
4. Healthy Skin
Your mouth is one of the quickest ways to get substances into the bloodstream. Why do you think “dipping” with tobacco gets the user buzzed so quickly? The skin inside your mouth behind your lips are filled with thousands upon thousands of tiny blood vessels. When substances come up to this lining they instantly go into the blood stream. This is why some medications are kept in front of your gums or under your tongue. It is an easy pathway into the bloodstream. By removing the toxic organisms that live in your mouth you can prevent the bacteria from getting into your bloodstream. Blemishes and pimples are toxins leaving the body. Remove these will lead to healthier, happier skin.
5. Regulate Hormones
Lastly, oil pulling leads to enhanced hormone regulation. When toxins enter the body, either blood or ingested, it puts your hormones out of whack. Keep your mouth healthy to keep the rest of your hormones in line!
Although oil pulling pertains to the mouth, it can benefit other parts of the body. A clean mouth has a profound effect on many other issues. The body isn’t stressed. This reduces headaches.
