This poster mentions bowel movements and I also noticed that once I started Oil pulling that by bowel movements were much more regular and solid. In fact they look just about the same and happen at about the same time every day. I wondered if this could be because of the water that goes along with the oil pull. For almost 2 years I have been brushing my teeth in the morning, then oil pulling with 1 tablespoon of sun flower oil for at least 20 minutes, then rinsing, then brushing my teeth again, then rinsing, and finally drinking 3 pint glasses of water. I have always been very healthy and I only did this to prevent cavities.Replied By Tamara (Fort Collins, Colorado) on 10/07/2009
Oil pulling has been amazing! I OP with coconut oil and sesame oil (alternatively) and noticed that my oral health improved immediately--I mean, right after the first OP session. I've only been doing it for two weeks but I love it. For the last few months, ever since I got the flu, I haven't had a solid BM, until... oil pulling. I didn't put it together until just now when I read the post from Scott. Aha! Thanks again, EC!
