Added oil pulling to my daily routine, it strengthens teeth/gums, helps prevent cavities, clears skin, detoxes the body, improves sleep, alleviates headaches & more. Start w/a small amt (1 tsp) and work up to what works for you. Let it melt in the mouth & swish for 10 min. Don't gargle or swallow, spit in the trash or garden and NOT in the sink or it will clog it up. :) Rinse w/ salt water (sole). Brush & floss normally after. I use organic, cold pressed, unrefined extra virgin coconut oil. Your teeth and mouth will feel so good!
