Hello, everyone!
Today we are going to continue our talk about oil pulling and find out which natural oils are the best for this procedure.
After oil pulling
Spit the oil . You can either spit it in the sink or in a handkerchief, which you then remove over the residual waste.
Now rinse your mouth thoroughly with water and brush your teeth with toothpaste as normal .
To get the full effect, you should practice the oil cure for at least four weeks , from the moment you can hold the oil in your mouth for 20 minutes. However, many find the treatment so pleasant that they make oil pulling a permanent part of their daily oral hygiene.
These oils are best
You can use almost any vegetable edible oil for oil pulling. However, some oils are more popular than others because of their taste and texture. Below is a brief overview of the oils that are best for oil pulling.
Make sure you use only cold-pressed and native oils regardless of grade . Organic quality is a plus because it guarantees that ecological standards have been met during production.
This not only improves quality, it also means that people and the environment have been spared during production.
So you do not only good for yourself, but also your environment.
coconut oil
Coconut oil is an absolute oil-pulling favorite. Especially the aromatic taste of the exotic oil makes it very popular with oil treatment users. But even the light consistency of the oil makes it easy to use, especially for beginners. Coconut oil is also a real beauty all-rounder and has a good effect on the skin and hair due to its moisturizing and antibacterial properties
At less than 23 degrees of room temperature, the oil forms a solid, whitish mass, which turns it clear and fluid. If you put a spoonful of solid oil in your mouth, you have to wait a moment for it to liquefy. Do not be surprised: After the oil treatment, the formerly clear oil is cloudy and opaque. Especially with coconut oil, the handle to organic quality pays off to compensate for the long transport distances that the superfood has to travel to Europe.
linseed oil
The flax plant is one of the oldest crops of humanity and has been cultivated in Europe for millennia. She is known as the livestock, but also as a medicinal plant , whose seeds are characterized by a very good ratio of healthy unsaturated fatty acids. In addition, linseed oil is rich in vitamins, anti-inflammatory and nourishing.
The golden yellow oil has a tart-fresh, slightly grassy taste . Some find this refreshing, others dilute linseed oil with sunflower oil to neutralize the taste. After opening the oil bottle should be stored dark and cool and consumed within a few months.
sesame oil
Sesame oil has been in use in Indian and East Asian countries for millennia, and it is becoming increasingly popular in the West as well. For the oil treatment bright sesame oil is recommended, it has more nutrients and is milder in flavor than the dark version. Be sure to use virgin and cold pressed oil to absorb as much nutrients as possible. Sesame oil is not only nourishing and rich in immune-boosting vitamins, it also has antioxidants, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory nutrients . Therefore, it is very good to support your teeth by a nourishing cure
almond oil
A less well-known alternative to the previously mentioned oils are nut oils . In particular almond oil is also suitable for oil pulling because of its mild taste and light texture . However, it is also often used in skin care. Therefore, when buying, make sure to choose a product that is also suitable for consumption and not just for external beauty care.
Almond oil has a high level of antioxidants. These are immune-enhancing, anti-inflammatory substances that fight bacteria and can thus support your oral flora. Walnut oil and hazelnut oil are also suitable for an oil treatment, so you can experiment with different substances as you wish.
Sunflower oil and Co.
Sunflower oil, olive oil and rapeseed oil are standard in the kitchen. They have a slightly worse reputation than the other oils, but is unfounded: natural and cold pressed, these oils are also rich in nutrients. Their bad reputation is related to the fact that they are often used unhealthy in the kitchen, for example, for frying.
On the other hand, these oils are good for oil pulling and are somewhat cheaper alternatives to the oils mentioned above. However, they are often a little more stringent in taste and feel "heavy" in the mouth, which is why many oil treatment users prefer other oils.
But no matter which oil you choose, you are doing something good for your health and especially - for your teeth.
