Hello, friends!
Last time we started our talk about oil pulling and learned a lot about how it works.
Now let's find out about benefits and risks of this procedure.
To strengthen the immune system
It has been scientifically proven that the bacterial cultures in your mouth are reduced by oil pulling, thus reducing the risk of gingivitis, tooth decay and halitosis. Thus, the detoxification method strengthens your immune system, because the fewer diseases and bacteria in the mouth, the more energy your immune system can use to fight other sources of inflammation in the body and repel pathogens. However, from a holistic perspective, oil-chewing also helps to strengthen the immune system in other ways : by combating the bacteria already in the mouth, they can not reach other areas of your body.
Risks of oil pulling
Oil pulling has many health benefits. It is not for nothing that the detoxification cure has been an integral part of traditional Indian medicine for millennia. However, there are a few things to keep in mind to make your oil treatment as safe and effective as possible.
Beware of allergic reactions
Although some oils are more popular than others, in principle, almost every type of vegetable oil is suitable for oil pulling. However, no matter for what variety you decide: You should make sure before the oil treatment you the oil of your choice also verträgst . Because the healthy ingredients of some oils can sometimes trigger allergic reactions . In most cases it is sufficient as a test, if you apply the oil in an inconspicuous place on the skin and wait at least 24 hours for a reaction. If you are prone to many allergies, you can consult a doctor to be sure.
Stomach and intestinal complaints
Especially in the beginning , some users of Ölziehkur suffer from mild to unpleasant stomach and intestinal complaints . These can occur if you do not spit the oil thoroughly enough at the end of the daily procedure, but accidentally swallow some of the oil. Not only the pure oil itself can pollute your digestion, also the bacteria enclosed in the oil can cause unpleasant reactions. Make sure that you always spit out the oil completely and swallow as little as possible.
No substitute for brushing your teeth
Oil cures have been part of natural medicine for millennia. They can also be quickly and easily integrated into modern oral hygiene: As a rule, oil pulling is practiced once a day, namely in the morning after getting up and before the first brushing your teeth. Then the teeth should be cleaned as normal to eliminate oil residues and to guarantee maximum oral hygiene. Oil pulling is therefore an optimal addition to your normal dental care, not a substitute . The method only shows its full potential in combination with toothpaste and floss.
This is how oil pulling works
An oil treatment costs little time and effort, but can be a great improvement for your oral health and your overall health. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to successfully complete your first oil cure.
Preparation
Get a vegetable oil of your choice (more on that in the next paragraph). Before using, make sure that you also tolerate the oil and do not react allergic. If you have to go fast during the week in the morning, it makes sense to put the first application on a weekend. Then you can take your time.
Time
Always apply the oil treatment in the morning sober immediately after getting up before you have eaten, drunk or brushed your teeth. This will help you eliminate the maximum amount of bacteria that has accumulated in your mouth overnight instead of transporting it through drinks or food into your digestive tract.
Amount
Put one to one and a half tablespoons of the edible oil of your choice in your mouth. In the beginning, the consistency and taste of the oil may take some getting used to. Give yourself a moment to get used to the oil, and then start to move it around in your mouth. You can swing it around like a mouthwash, pull it between your teeth and suck it from one cheek to the other. You can also gargle with the oil, but be careful not to swallow it.
Duration
Each application of the oil treatment should last at least 15 to 20 minutes , otherwise it can not develop its full effect. If you can not keep the oil in the mouth for so long, because consistency or taste does not suit you, slowly get used to it. Keep the oil in your mouth every day as long as you can before you spit it out, and if it's just a few minutes at the beginning.
