Oil pulling as we know it today has been around for thousands of years and originated in ancient India as an Ayurvedic practice used for “purifying” the body by “pulling” toxins out through the gums and mouth using oil as an adsorption (pulling) medium.

Right off the bat, you are probably skeptical, and rightly so. However, this is not to say that oil pulling teeth does not have certain effective uses. It may not be the miracle solution that some claim it is, but it can be effective for certain other purposes.

Practitioners of oil pulling claim that toxins and bacteria which accumulate in the body may eventually end up in the mouth. They assert that by holding and swishing oil in your mouth for a prolonged amount of time (usually 15-20 minutes in most cases) you can “pull” these toxins out of the body through the soft tissue in the mouth.

Once the oil has been swished around for long enough, it is then spit out into the sink or trash to remove the toxins from the body.

Founder of the Dr. Fresh Oral Care line of products, Puneet Nanda, says “The whole purpose of oil pulling is to get rid of the oil-soluble toxins in the body.”

Various oils are used for oil pulling, including Coconut, Palm, Olive, and Sesame. Coconut oil is the most popular oil used for oil pulling but does come with the one caveat of becoming a solid at temperatures of 76 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. However, every mouth is much hotter than that. While the oil may be a solid when first placed in the mouth, it will soften into a liquid within seconds of being placed in the mouth. Some practitioners of oil pulling like to mix Coconut oil with sunflower and/or sesame oil to help it remain a liquid.
