Does anyone do this? What kinds of results have you had?
-
I have no idea what this is!
-
Me either!
-
@boiledpnut: tell us more!
-
do you mean oil cleansing for your face or swishing with coconut oil?
-
Following! I've wondered about this too.
-
What is oil pulling?
-
@lioneyes: yes, swishing with coconut oil (or any oil really). It's supposed to remove toxins from the body. Apparently it's really good for your mouth.
-
Bumping an old post b/c oil pulling is popping up everywhere recently! Anyone else tried it?
I'd give it a shot, although I don't expect any kind of miracles past slightly improved dental health.
Here's just a few posts about it:

I tried it for awhile but you are suppose to do it for 20 mins with constant swishing - I found it impossible to do. I gave up after a few weeks - didn't really notice a difference at all
-
@Mamaof2: I thought it was 20 secs? Haha I thought I'd been doing it the past few days but apparently I wasn't doing it even close to long enough!! lol
-
I have a patient do this, and being honest there wasn't much difference in her mouth. And yes it's supposed to be for 20 mins!
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: no, 20 minutes! That seems to be the biggest hang up for people.
Part of me wants to hear lots of "didn't work" stories so I don't find myself with a glob of oil in my mouth. . .
-
I've done it twice. After both times, I got incredibly ill. Supposedly something about toxins leaving my body, but I was ill enough to never do it again!
