As I have a litre of water after I get up and before my Tea I fear that Some residue from the oil pulling may enter my stomach albeit I brush throughly.

Maim, can you please suggest any permanent solutions to pyrea ? Oil pulling has great benefits as I'm doing it for the last one year but not getting a permanent solution from it . Of course, it benefited me a lot.

[@DoctorUpasana]

You will need to see a gum specialist. Oil Pulling will help in the maintenance phase, it won’t treat the already progressed gum disease. For that treatment is a must. Later for prevention of gum diseases Oil Pulling is a great measure.

[@enemanozzle]

The optimal health benefit concerning oil pulling with castor oil will be to swallow this afterwards. So you will have to take regularly early in the morning on an empty stomach 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil in your mouth and mix this there with your saliva for 30 minutes before swallowing this one. While doing this you will not remark anything of the bad taste of castor oil for the receptors concerning castor oil are in the background of the mouth. By salivating castor oil for a sufficient time this one will lose its bad taste, its high viscosity and will no more irritate the mucosa of the stomach. In this manner not only the waste in your intestines will be pushed out but all the toxins deposed in your body (especially methylmercury!) via the liver too.

I have been oil pulling for about two years. I started after I went to a dentist who told me that I needed a deep cleaning that would cost $750. My gums were bleeding and red. So I started and over time I got used to it [20 min in the morning] and my gums became pink and healthy. No more bleeding. I also scrape my tongue after brushing and rinsing, which also helps. Americans as a rule use mouthwash which is a terrible idea. The mouth has its own microbiome and oil pulling does not destroy that. Mouthwash does. So, love the video and oil pulling. Highly recommend!!

What is the frequency of OP? What is the microscopic process going on behind OP? That would define the frequency. Take the case of feet fungus. The process to remove fungus is repeated process daily, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day, for long time, 2 years or so to eradicate it. Is the removal of bacteria & toxins is like fungus (embedded/micro layered), takes time to soften, loosen, extricate. Is there a recursive process going on? Means, Oil Pulling > extrication > more toxins, bacteria > Return to Front Do you have any other Ayurvedic Hacks (in a great way, the word “hack” has swag, oomf like 💐) For Wellness of the body. I love them. A story in my life. I was in pain for 9 years, in back & legs while walking. I tried many doctors here in USA. Finally, I landed up in Delhi, in Ayurvedic Hospital, 29 days of Panchkarma Therapy followed by steam sauna, daily, with complete bed rest. I was good for next 10 years. I was supposed to be cautious about my back, because of scoliosis too. One day I stretched my self while pulling a box from a van, and on 3rd day, I was back to Delhi hospital, 10 days therapy and I was good but total course was 20 days, without bed rest.

[@julianaphang6534]

I knew about oil pulling many years ago but didn’t think much of it as it seemed like a queer practice. Then i watched a few other videos & decided to try it as i had a bit of pain in my gums. I used my normal palm cooking oil. It was interesting to see the murky texture after doing it from its original clear yellowish oil colour. The next day to my astonishment, the pain had gone! And another interesting thing was that i had very 'pretty' smooth stools! 😂 I felt healthier and it was just overnight! I only comment here and not in the other videos bc it is a rare thing to have a professional dentist to advise on oral dental care. Most doctors and dentists nowadays forget the Hippocratic Oath, and only care about their pockets. God will bless you for your kindness and generosity. Amen.

From my experience doing oil pulling for quite some time, there’s one caution I’ve realized. Oil pulling puts a lot of pressure (as a result of squishing oil continuously for more than ten minutes) on all teeth. If you have a cap/crown that does not have a good hold/support, it’ll come loose much sooner than you expect. Without oil pulling, it may have never experienced as much force from all angles and may have stayed put for months or years. I also do stand by all the benefits of oil pulling. The mouth feels a lot cleaner and teeth look a lot shinier after doing it.

What differences u noticed?

[@gitakb1980]

I was living in Europe when I started having pain in one wisdom tooth. It started turning black. I went to the dentist and he suggested I remove it asap or else a root canal will be needed. I came back home. Googled for home remedies. Found about oil pulling. On the third day I had a surprise. My body odor was gone! I was 35 years old then and had a really bad body odour since birth. And it has not returned since that day. And the tooth, well it healed in 5 months and I never returned to the dentist :-). Now I was skeptical about these two changes until two other friends tried it. One’s root canal operation with heavily painful tooth got cancelled. His tooth is now hale and healthy. Another young girl’s bad body odour was gone for good!

[@gitakb1980]

But it did not help me with bleeding gums and bad breath. After 15 years of having this issue, just one pill of homeo fixed the bleeding gums issue. And bad breath was solved recently after a tip by my yoga teacher. My yoga teacher told in a class to loosen the tongue, to not stick it to the base of roof of the mouth and to not rest it against the teeth. This she said will relax the entire body. She also said this will lead to more salivation. Now I went home and tried it. And that very day my body stress with computer work, shoulders and neck tightness was not there. I was amazed. Also I came to know something about myself. That I always since childhood kept my tongue stuck tightly to the roof of the mouth and my jaws closed and tight. Loosening the tongue loosened the jaw automatically. I started salivating a lot. And bad breath was gone. Yes it took constant reminding to loosen the tongue. It hurt the teeth and gums a lot in the sense it felt like how one feels after taking out dentures or teeth straightening screws which my mom got me done during my teenage. And that was because suddenly after 40 years of being used to be tightly shut in the mouth my gums and teeth had to sort of stand on their own. Now I also realized that all these years i was also not emotiontionally expressive at all. Either the tight mouth was the cause or the other way around. Hopefully this loose mouth will help me get rid of fear of expressing my emotions. And the bonus is my face looks better with a straight mouth as my lips no more form a frown. :-)

Does oil pulling helps with tonsil stone?

[@DoctorUpasana]

@@ednawordsworth7710 Hey! I don't think so dear. If tonsil stones are troubling you too much you can always get them removed surgically.

My teeths feel weak and in 2 teeths i have deep plaque.... Dentist suggested extraction of the teeths..... I'm just 21....if i start oil pulling will it help please reply!

[@DoctorUpasana]

Trust your Dentist. But yes you can do oil pulling as a preventive measure 😀

[@hansapatel8964]

Excellent advice you have given, but i think sesame oil will be good, sometime mustered oil and salt, sometimes Aalum(Fatkari) then it's my challenge no one will come to you, but any one wants guarantee, they have to regd. with you, by paying little bit charge. Otherwise free.

Wondering why does it need to be practiced in this order. Does it matter if I have coffee or tea first, then brush teeth before oil pulling and rinsing? Thank you!

[@DoctorUpasana]

The order absolutely matters!!

Thank you so much Dr Upasana I'm about to start oil pulling but I was also worried about whether there is any side effects but your video is like confirmation to start

Hi Dr. Upasana, thank you SO much for this clear, concise and honest video. I am going to start this routine first thing tomorrow morning. In addition to this morning routine, I have a question about what you would recommend, if anything, as a nighttime routine? I have read that brushing twice a day may be too much for gums that are slightly receding but that flossing and a salt rinse at night could be helpful. I’m interested to know your thoughts on this, and anything else that you may recommend. Thank you so much for your time!🙏🏾💜

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hey! Thanks for your kind and motivating words 🙏🏻 Regarding a night time routine what I like to follow is brushing followed by flossing, either manual or water flosser whatever you are comfortable with. And no, brushing twice a day is not harmful for receding gums at all so don’t fall in that trap. If it’s hurting your gums talk to your Dentist and choose the right type of Toothbrush for you but please don’t quit your night brushing. Hope this helps 🙂 Where are you from??

Can oil pulling help in better taste n essential we have to add only one oil or both oils one drop each

[@chandrakalasubba3117]

Hello Dr. Upasana It was really great to watch your video with such detailed explanation. I wanted to ask you if it is ok to do oil pulling after wisdom tooth extraction. I had mine extracted a week ago so I am not sure when is the correct time I can start my oil pulling. Should I wait a few more days before I start again? I stopped oil pulling temporarily after the tooth extraction. Your advise will be highly appreciated. Thank you 😊

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hey! It’s great to know you have tried oil pulling before. You can start it whenever your stitches are out so probably after 10 days of surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery 🙂

[@chandrakalasubba3117]

Thank you for Dr. Upasana for the response. 🙏 Will follow your advise and restart oil pulling soon.

[@aminavierk3610]

Thank you. Very beautifully and precisely explained.

mam please tell will it help to stop the bleeding gums issues

[@DoctorUpasana]

Yes

[@zoldiur]

As I was completely UNAWARE of this method of oral hygine, I thought it was an alternative way of PULLING TEETH!! Simply because in STOMATOLOGY / DENTAL TERMS, pulling means EXTRACTING TEETH. I was thinking perhaps it is some "pre-treatment" prior to pulling out the tooth etc... So, I believe the word "PULLING" in oil pulling is a complete and unfortunate MISNOMER!!! It should be called OIL RINSING or OIL SWISHING or something similar but definitely not PULLING, because it does not PULL anything. If you put oil in your mouth and swish it around for 10 minutes, what you are actually doing is RINSING, and NOT PULLING!!!! For heaven's sakes, when you are using a store-bought mouthwash (like lysterine, ACT, SCOPE etc etc) swishing it around in your mouth, you do not call it "MOTHWASH PULLING" do you??? Just plain old common sense...

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hahaha

[@shariqabideen]

I started oil pulling with sesame oil and drops of clove oil, twice a day. I wasn't rinsing my mouth after pulling and was doing it after brushing my teeth. Thanks doc for heads up.

[@VisionInstitute-q7b]

So We are to oil pull before we brush?

[@DoctorUpasana]

See the video again 🙂

[@jessicalowther56]

A video from the yoga institute (I don't know what that is) says we should oil pull for a week and stop for 6 months. Can I ask for your thoughts on this please? Thanks for the great explaination.

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hey Jessica. I've seen the video too but they hadn't really explained why one should stop / discontinue. According to me oil pulling has to be a daily practice without which expecting results would be impossible. Have you tried it?

[@jessicalowther56]

@@DoctorUpasana They just mention it in the comments. I've also heard a few other similar reccomendations - daily for two weeks and 6 months, then reduce to twice weekly. Maybe it depends a bit on the person. I've been doing it for two days. Maybe I'll see what my gut tells me. Considering tongue scraping too.

[@robertkukuczka9469]

It works slowly but it is worth its while.

[@DoctorUpasana]

[@kavin9976]

Hello Dr.. few doubts. 1. Oil pulling can be done at any time of the day or early morning once we get up? 2. can 9 yr old kid do oil pulling daily? 3. my son has plaque on his teeth. can oil pulling help to remove that? or do you suggest any other home remedy ?

@@kavin9976 do refer to the video again for the best time of the day to perform oil pulling and the right sequence 😀 And as for kids, it's best to avoid

Thank you Dr For the information.I am 58 yrrs old.I had done oil pulling for some time but what i noticed my implants got loose.I have a few caps on my teeth too Was it because of oil pulling or some other reason . Should I continue oil pulling reason..Please guide me

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hey! Oil pulling can't make the well integrated dental implants to go loose. There has to be another underlying factor at play. Are you a diabetic by any chance?

[@marlenevictoria9339]

Hi Dr. I tried oil pulling 2 months ago, and I have noticed that my teeth became sensitive. that’s y I stopped. Is this normal? .I had a treatment for gingivitis and had a root canal ( feb 2021) and wearing a crown. Is this safe to use and will it improve my gum health. pls help. Thanks

Absolutely safe to do it when having a crown. Pls do give it a try.

I am on my braces journey mam! Its been 2 months. I observe some kind of gum recession near my lower teeth( I can see my tooth a bit lower than usual- I am unable to describe though). So can i do oil pulling with my braces? Will i be freed from gum recession with oil pulling? What precautions do i need to take? Gum recession is common with braces? Just worried about any bone loss or gum weakness

[@DoctorUpasana]

Gum recession is not a good sign. Please talk to your Orthodontist about it. Oil pulling will help in maintenance phase not an active disease phase. So kindly consult and get an opinion🙂
