Holistic Oral Health Part 2 - Oil Pulling

A mighty simple solution to your oral health my be sitting in your kitchen cabinet. The ancient and revered folk remedy oil pulling for oral health comes to us by way of India. This is an ancient Ayurvedic practice involves swishing one teaspoon to one tablespoon of sesame or coconut oil in the mouth for 20 minutes. For best results it is recommended to "pull" the oil through the teeth and mouth. This practice is said to bind the microbes and and remove harmful bacteria. For this reason it is important that the oil be discarded and never swallowed. After you are done oil pulling rinse your mouth with warm water and brush as normal.

Holistic Oral Health Part 1

The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract and a vital aspect to our overall health. When I say the mouth I am talking about the whole apparatus, teeth, jaw, gums, salivary glands etc. The mouth is the starting point for whole body's nourishment and sustenance. It is hardy, vital, and requires a balance because what goes on in the mouth, not just what goes into the mouth affects the whole body. This gives new meaning to the phrase "it's all in your head".
