Oil Pulling with Olive Oil - A Healthy Choice!

I TRIED THIS OP TODAY. BUT FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO DO IT FOR THE MINIMAL TIME OF 10 MIN. THE URGE TO SPIT WAS SO GREAT BECAUSE OF ALL THE SALIVA BUILD UP. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM, IF SO WHAT WAS THE SOLUTION? I WANT TO CONTINUE THIS AND RECIEVE ALL THE BENEFITS. EVEN THOUGH I WAS ONLY TO HOLD IT IN FOR 6 MINS., I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO FELL MY SINUSES DRAINING!! HOW WEIRD BECAUSE I DON'T EVEN REALLY HAVE SINUS PROBLEMS!!! ALSO I HAD A TOOTH ACHE LAST NITE BECAUSE I HAVE AN ABCESS AND NEED A ROOT CANAL. WELL IT FELT SOOO MUCH BETTER AFTERWARDS. I HAD BEEN GIVEN PENACILLIN AND TOOK IT FOR 10 DAYS WITHOUT MUCH RELIEF. I DID THIS OP 10 DAYS AFTER I FINISHED MY ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY SO I AM SURE THE RELIEF IS NOT FROM THAT! I USED OLIVE OIL BUT AFTER THIS POSTING I AM GOING TO GET THE SUNFLOWER OIL !!!!!!THANK YOU

WOW! I was just reading about the oil pulling. I have severe sinus problems, as well as a host of other ailments, which I will relate at another time. I woke up this morning severely congested, with thick green mucuous. I searched the computer under sinus treatments and found this website. I decided to try it although I was scared. I didnt have sesame or sunflower oil, I only had extra virgin olive oil, so I tried it. I just tried right now for the first time. Within 2 minutes....yes!! 2 minutes! my nose opened up, and I could breathe!!! I started feeling more alert in my mind, and I was so shocked. I just spit out the solution a few minutes ago...... and I brushed my teeth, and Im going to drink the 2 to 3 glasses of water. I will post again soon. I will do it again tonight. Thanks!!!

All I can say is Wow! Oil Pulling really works. My dentist wanted to whiten my teeth,to the tune of $600.00, I refused and told him I had just started oil pulling (he didn't know what it was) and it is suppose to whiten teeth so I would wait to see the results. My husband and I were both amazed. After only 3 days my teeth had whitened at least 4 shades, and my tongue was pink and healthy, the coating disappeared! Along with the ACV treatment for my rheu. arthritis and the oil pull, I feel better and have more energy than I've had in years. When I went to the store to buy the oil I bought Sesame oil (could only find the toasted)and Organic Virgin Olive Oil. When I tried to open the sesame oil it flew out of my hands and broke all over my kitchen floor. So, I used the olive oil and have had all these wonderful results from using it. I am a "new person" thanks to this wonderful site!! Thank you!

Hola! My name is Tina. I've been a fashion model for years, a smoking fashion model, that has quit drinking alcohol but hasn't dropped the cigs. I did the oil pulling for the first time with E.Virgin Olive Oil and whoever came up with this technique is a genius! I did it for 20 minutes no problem (tasted the nicotine and the toxins emerging) It is imposible to take one drag off a cig all day. I keep tasting the nicotine coming out! I think i've found the ultimate solution! Can't wait to share it with my family and friends ! Thank you ARYUVEDA and DEIRDRE! GREAT SITE *MY FAVORITE! T.

I decided to try oil pulling to help alleviate my chronic sinusitis and overall tiredness. I use evoo [extra virgin olive oil] because it's what I have on hand. I've only tried this three times so far and I followed the directions on earthclinic exactly. Here's my situation: the oil never turns white. Even after twenty minutes of slowly pulling, sucking, chomping, swishing, etc., the oil is still yellow. I've read and reread the directions and follow them explicitly. Maybe I should try a different oil. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

OP First Time--Surprising Results. While doing a little research on activated charcoal, happened upon your OP info today 2-25-08. Thought I was getting the flu today due to appetite loss and diarrhea. Took 2 charcoal capsules which cured the latter, then found your articles and tried with 1 tbsp. olive oil. Since I had slight gag reflex initially, I calmed myself and was careful about rinsing my mouth after spitting out (tea tree oil w/mouthwash then brushing). My headache and stomachache are gone and my mouth has never felt so clean. My mood is definitely lighter and could it be that my teeth look brighter?? Speaking of which, would you please clarify the effect on tooth enamel? My teeth are rather porous, stain easily and the dentist says the enamel is eroding. Many thanks for all your hard work and inspiration. /M
