[ Oil pulling, also known as "kavala" or "gundusha," is an ancient Ayurvedic dental technique that involves swishing a tablespoon of oil in your mouth on an empty stomach for around 20 minutes. This action supposedly draws out toxins in your body, primarily to improve oral health but also to improve your overall health]
I do this every morning and night, right before I brush my teeth. The taste and smell were actually really subtle, but the texture was gross as first. I started with a teaspoon and 5 minutes, and barely made it through. Now, it's just as routine as brushing my teeth! Can't say much about the health benefits, but I have definitely noticed that my mouth feels extra clean and my teeth have been whiter since I started. I also get canker sores often and it's been awhile since I've had one. Trader Joe's carry's it for less than $5 and with all the ways it can be used, it pays for itself (not sponsored).
*tip* - try oil-pulling for hangovers!!
