OIL PULLING: IS IT WORTH THE HYPE?
                     OIL PULLING: IS IT WORTH THE HYPE?
• Who’d have guessed that swishing oil in your mouth for 10 to 20 minutes a day would be fashionable? Thousands of 
people are gargling and swirling oil in their mouths and uploading videos to YouTube.
• Oil pulling is the latest wellness craze, but it’s actually a centuries-old Ayurvedic practice. Ayurveda is an Indian holistic 
medical system that dates back 3,000 to 5,000 years. 
• The main goal of Ayurveda is to promote good health and well-being by balancing mind, body, and spirit.
A DAILY ROUTINE
• According to Todd Caldecott, Ayurvedic practitioner and Executive Director of the Dogwood School of Botanical Medicine, 
oil pulling is one aspect of a regular morning ritual in Ayurveda to cleanse the body called dincary. 
• These things we do for longevity are terrifying. You must have a regular routine if you want to live a long life.
IS IT A HEALTH ELIXIR OR A BUNCH OF NONSENSE?
•Oil is antimicrobial and penetrates the mouth’s tissues, inhibiting bacterial growth. 
•Recent clinical trials have shown that oil pulling, like chlorhexidine mouthwash, reduces bacterial counts and plaque index 
in the mouth, as well as halitosis (bad breath). A small pilot study recently found that oil pulling decreased levels of 
Streptococcus mutants, a bacteria strain linked to cavities. 
•When participants stopped pulling oil, however, bacterial counts started to rise. It’s also worth remembering that the 
sample sizes in these studies were very small.
WHERE SHOULD YOU BEGIN WITH OIL PULLING?
•Dr. Patel will look at your dosha form first if you’re interested in starting an oil pulling activity. She usually suggests a 
tablespoon or two of oil in the mouth.
• Swish it around your mouth, concentrating on the cheeks and upper palate, and force it through your teeth. Rub the 
residual oil into your gums after you’ve spat out the oil.
• Also, though several recent accounts suggest coconut oil in particular, [practitioners] will typically use sesame oil because 
sesame has so many nutritional qualities and benefits.
Beneficial Effects Of Oil Pulling
•Oil pulling is a common Indian folk remedy in which you swish oil around in your mouth. 
•Oil pulling is described in Ayurvedic literature as having the ability to improve oral health and provide other health benefits. 
•While there is no medical research to back up these claims, the amount of information available online does. Here are just 
a few of the many claimed advantages of oil pulling:
Tips For Oil Pulling
Oil pulling should be done first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, according to research. As a result, a more 
thorough detox is achieved.
 
Some people recommend doing oil pulling in the shower. Because it fits into my schedule, this is when I found it to be the 
most convenient. You could do it while watching TV, making breakfast, or at any other time that suits you.
 
If the taste of the oil is stopping you from doing it, try mixing in some mint extract. I added 2-3 drops of peppermint extract 
to 12 tablespoons, and it made the experience much more fun.
