It was pretty gross, and 20 minutes felt like FOREVER. We decided we'll try it for one week and decide... I know it sounds totally hokey though, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-heard-of-oil-swishing#post-1476829 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:19:54 +0000 StbHisMrs 1476829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard about it years ago, tried for a couple weeks and decided it was really gross. I saw it on Dr. oz a few weeks ago too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-heard-of-oil-swishing#post-1476764 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:02:37 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1476764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just read about it on a blog recently. interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-heard-of-oil-swishing#post-1476725 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:51:40 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1476725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: I use olive oil but I assume that's how you would use the coconut oil. Ill report back if I start to notice anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-heard-of-oil-swishing#post-1476669 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:40:47 +0000 rattles 1476669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw it on HB! It sounds yucky, so I hope you report back and let me know if it's worth it :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-heard-of-oil-swishing#post-1476668 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:40:25 +0000 coopsmama 1476668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on trying this after DD is born. Apparently you're not supposed to do it while pregnant. I'd really love if it helped whiten my teeth but I'm skeptical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-heard-of-oil-swishing#post-1476666 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:40:02 +0000 singingbee 1476666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: so you melt the coconut oil in your mouth and swish it around? Then spit out? Interesting! I'm curious to know if you see a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-heard-of-oil-swishing#post-1476663 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:39:32 +0000 mrsjyw 1476663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just saw it on fb. def interested in the whitening part! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-heard-of-oil-swishing#post-1476662 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:39:30 +0000 LindsayInNY 1476662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw it for the first time on FB today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-heard-of-oil-swishing#post-1476661 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:39:02 +0000 mfa_lady 1476661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw it on FB today.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil can be used or quality organic coconut oil....usually quality (ie, not veggie or corn oils) cold pressed oils are recommended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-heard-of-oil-swishing#post-1476568 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:19:11 +0000 singingbee 1476568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like cooking oil? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-heard-of-oil-swishing#post-1476560 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:17:30 +0000 Rubies 1476560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - heard about it this week.
