Why do you have to wait 4 hrs after you eat for oil pulling? - Very curious for answer.

I asked why wait four hours after eating and one hour after drinking water and never found an answer. Recently I added a second oil pulling, before bed--sometimes less than a full hour after drinking water--and I haven't noticed bad effects. I use coconut oil in the morning and olive oil at night.

I am mainly doing it for dental health and consider oil pulling an alternative to mouth wash. Rules like waiting four hours could just be part of making it sound mysterious and magical. I haven't noticed any magical cures, but my gums bleed much less during teeth cleanings and, for the first time, a dentist told me I have excellent oral hygiene.

Thanks for your reply - I haven't found any answers in relation to the 4 hour wait after eating - I did notice that I have fewer side effects when I have something in my stomach so I rarely oil pull on an empty stomach.
