I have had severe sinus problems for years. Have had 2 sinus surgeries and a little over a year ago, started going to a chiropractor. Since going to the Chiropractor, I have not had any bad sinus infections however I am still suffering with complete blockage in my left nostril. I read about and tried a couple of things on this web site. ACV had no effect other than giving me the willies; tastes awful! I tried oil pulling with Sesame oil for 3 days and then with olive oil for 3 days. None of these had ANY effect whatsoever. I am at my wits end am considering a 3rd sinus surgery though I cringe at the thought. If anybody has some words of wisdom, I am more than willing to listen.

NAY. I was oil pulling with 1 tbsp EVOO for 20 minutes for about two weeks. I stopped because I had litterally no results. The oil remained yellow, there was no foam and no mucus was expelled (the primary reason for wanting to try this procedure). I may be doing something wrong, I know it's not the product. A woman in my office is using the same product and has gotten all the classic results. I was very careful to follow all the instructions. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I could use some help.

I have been doing the oil pulling with Olive Oil for about 2 weeks, 1 tbl. for 20 minutes once a day. The oil is still yellow and while it seems lighter than it is in the bottle, I feel it looks the same as if you whipped (emulsified) it. I have had no mucous evacuation or any other positive signs other than my teeth are very smooth like when I have them cleaned. Am I doing something wrong or not doing something right?

i started op a few weeks ago as I was looking for a cure for a coated tongue, it was difficult at first to kepp the oil in my mouth for more than a minuete, but then got the hang of it and can now do a full twenty mins. However, I am using olive oil and see no significant difference in my body or mind. I cured my white tongue with salt brushing and now am op just because i am reading it is good for me!
