Safe During Pregnancy?

Question: I would like to try oil pulling because I have a sinus infection and don't want to take antibiotics. Catch: I'm pregnant. Since this would be detoxing, could it get into my system and effect my unborn?

Sinus infections can be cured almost immediately using green tea nasal douche or 'neti' as its called in India. (Basically its pouring water through your nose with a teapot - it wont sting if theres no chlorine in it ) If you put small amounts of garlic and ginger juice into the tea it will clear up infections very quickly, usually with just one treatment. Under no circumstances should you take anti bios for sinus infections, particularly if pregnant. Search web for techniques to do neti.
