Maybe there is a thread about this
here already but I couldn't find it.
Although according to their website not
many know about it www.oilpulling.com
Does anyone here do it? How is it for you?

I find it great I've been doing it for
about2 weeks. It's simple to do, easy to
fit into your routine and very affordable
for the many benefits and cures it promises.

Swishing sesame/sunflower oil around your mouth on an empty stomach for 20 minutes removes toxins from the blood by engaging the enzymes. Its meant to promote better skin, deeper sleep and give you more energy. So it has to be worth a try I thought. Directions are on the site but
basically just keep swirling the oil until
it goes white. You will immeadiatly notice a cleaner and fresher feeling in your mouth. It's meant to be great for acne,
psorisis and many other skin conditions.
I also read that it can prolong one's
lifespan if done everyday. It's well worth
checking out, Google 'oil pulling'

I've done it a couple of times and my mouth always felt soooo much cleaner, but the urge to gag was strong. Especially when I tried to moved the oil to the back of my tongue. I never did it until the oil turned the frothy white either.
Does it make you want to gag Rubina?

It made ME want gag ella! And after about 2 mins I thought that there must be better ways of spending 20 mins of my life.
However yes,I agree your mouth does feel fresh but I knew in my heart of hearts I just couldn't commit.
My friend asked me to support her on the "Cabbage soup diet" starting today.
As I don't need to lose weight I thought if nothing else it would be fun and detoxifying.
Not so.
I conceded defeat at 11.30 am on day 1.
