I personally would hurl if I tried to pull oil on a full stomach! Hate hate hate puking!Replied By Pam (Kansas City, Mo) on 03/03/2011
I don't have the exact answer to your question of why it is recommended to wait after eating or drinking before you oil pull, but one possible theory is if you pull with a full stomach, the oil will have double duty. It will be pulling toxins from the food in your stomach as well as other parts of your system. I enjoy oil pulling and I can tell the difference in my congestion problems immediately afterwards.Replied By Amy (San Francisco, Ca, Usa) on 09/15/2011
I've been wondering the same.... I'm actually wondering if we won't produce as much saliva after we've eaten.... And I think I read that it helps to digest the oil... So better when we're a little hungry.
