In my recent musings I’ve come across a most interesting phenomenon – that of oil pulling. I was really impressed with all of the testimonies that I read at http://www.earthclinic.com/.

The premise of oil pulling as laid out on http://www.oilpulling.com/ is that by swishing (or pulling) 1 tbsp of either sesame, sunflower, or coconut oil between your teeth for 15-30 minutes on an empty stomach you are pulling toxins out of bloodstream via your gums.

This process also does wonders for your dental health. It stops your gums from bleeding, tightens loose teeth, whitens teeth and over time will begin to eliminate morning breath.
