I found your article to be very informative. Seems as though Sesame seed oil the best, 2nd Sunflower oil. No other oils seem to have the majority on best overall success. So I'm gonna try it. Thanks for the info.

It is always good to use Organic! BUT, if you don't have the budget ALL NATURAL SHOULD be used. You dont want regular GMO oil. Also, you want it UNREFINED. Unrefined means it has not been PROCESSED, which means none of the good stuff was taken out and no bad stuff was put in. Always get Organic, or All Natural, UNREFINED oil.
AND YES, im using Sunflower oil. Other oils work too but I didnt fancy the coconut oil too much. Hope things work out!

I found out about oil-pulling on this site a couple of years ago but obviously didn't read as much as I should have. When my husband had a problem with a tooth abscess recently, I remembered about oil pulling and after 3 days of pulling with coconut oil his tooth was better. Meanwhile I read more and went to http://www.oilpulling.org and read the entire site. When I found that it supposedly cured graying hair I immediately purchased Organic Sunflower Oil and started using 1tbsp once per day in the morning for 20 minutes. The taste was a little weird at first but I am a determined person and was totally committed to reversing my graying. After a couple of days the taste no longer bothered me. I stopped taking all of the other lotions, potions and pills that I was taking as I wanted to be sure that it was the oil-pulling if there was to be a reversal of gray.
Now call me nuts if you like (my husband did) but in 3 days I noticed dark roots! I asked my hairdresser if I was going crazy and she said that it looked like dark roots and that we would keep an eye on it. At this point I also changed my shampoo to non-SLS. Every single day I would check the mirror and I swear that every day the number of dark roots increased. Today I was again at the hairdresser's and she was amazed. She said that my roots are definitely turning dark. I am totally amazed, thankful, and over the moon.
I don't know if this will work for everyone but I don't see why not. If you are skeptical - so was I - just try it, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I plan to switch to sesame once my sunflower bottle is empty and I will switch between those two and continue oil-pulling until the day I die. God bless oil-pulling.

Even if your copper bracelets start working, if I were you I would still start oil pulling as it has many benefits apart from reversing graying hair, for instance my teeth are no longer stained by red wine drinking and are whiter than I ever remember them. Also for years I have had a very sensitive tooth where the enamel had worn away between the tooth and the gum. The tooth doesn't bother me anymore and either the enamel has grown back or the come has grown over the gap. Either way I am very happy after only 6 weeks of oil pulling.
Good luck with whatever remedy you choose. I will update as I continue pulling if there is anything to report.
I'm wondering why Oil Pulling isn't listed as a remedy on the "Hair, graying" page.

I started with a tablespoon of sunflower oil but now fill my mouth as it helps stave off the desire to swallow. I pull for 15 minutes minimum and sometimes change the oil halfway through if it's 'done' early (white, foamy, thick).
What I really wanted to report was the effect on my dead gray tooth. It is one of my top incisors (noticible when smiling), had a root canal 10 years ago, and has gotten progressively darker. Recently it's been really noticible and I have been looking into getting it bleached from the inside again for the sake of my smile (and confidence). HOWEVER, after oil pulling just TWICE with sunflower oil I noticed a HUGE difference. It was HALF AS DARK as before, I couldn't believe it! After 5 days of oil pulling the tooth doesn't even look gray from some angels! I am gobsmacked, pun intended! I CANNOT BELIEVE how much it has lightened my gray tooth. And I have saved at least $400 AU by 'bleaching' it naturally too.
So how did it happen?? I've been reading and dead teeth supposedly go gray because of dead nerve tissue rotting. If you have a root canal the tooth is dead on the inside, but alive on the outside (and they can't get all the tiny nerves out from around the core). The dead nerve tissue becomes a breeding ground for anaerobic bacteria which excrete toxicity into your bloodstream. This can lead to chronic infection and toxicity in any part of the body leading to all kinds of diseases. I never used to get colds, but over the years I've been getting them more and more often, and I actually live much healthier now than I did 10 years ago. So it would not surprise me if the dead tooth contributed to this by compromising my immune system.
ANYWAY - if the sunflower oil attracts bacteria when oil pulling, I figure it's drawn out the bacteria from my dead tooth - hence the lightening. I have a tiny crack in the tooth which may have aided this? Another thing was that I noticed the sunflower oil went white and foamy pretty quickly (after ~ 7 minutes) leading me to think that there was a lot of bacteria in my mouth (from the dead tooth). So if you have a root canal it's probably even more important to oil pull!! I'm so glad I found EC and read up on oil pulling, thanks guys! Looking forward to see the effect on my gums (receding on a couple of teeth) and my molar. Cheers Lisa

I came back to read further posts, and found that alot of posts were about adding acidophilus. Yesterday, I made a bee-line to get this wonder probiotic, and see if this could help also. (Along with B****s ACV, I am going to add this to my fight, also. ) I took one of the capsules (I think it was the 25 billion strength that I bought). I am totally amazed, to say the least! The rash that burned and was painful to the touch, is healing (overnight! ). The burning pain is gone and I am still amazed. The infected areas are healing so quickly! I woke up feeling better than I have in years. I don't feel lethargic. The skin on my arm is healing, with a few areas that still have broken skin, from where I had scratched in my sleep, prior to last night. My face didn't burn while in the shower, it is still very dry, red and chapped. I have been using organic coconut oil from the whole foods store, due to it's healing properties, to keep my skin moisturized. I was surprised that it is does not have a greasy feeling, as I would have thought. I have stopped looking for the miracle moisturizer that the doctors like to prescribe. I am so happy to have found this site, and thankful for all who post! Will update, with the ACV addition.

As I posted before I was quite sad to have to go to the dentist some time after I started oil pulling with sun flower oil. First I thought that my filling had fallen because I had eaten very hard sausages but when it happened again I was sure that it was the Oil Pulling. I had read here that some people had problems but never thought that it would happen to me. My tooth has now been so drilled that I am afraid that I am going to loose it so no more Oil Pulling for me although it was great for my gums. No problems with older fillings but the dentist says that maybe the older ones were made of some other material, this one was 18 months old and that might be the problem. Still.... I wonder why slushing a bit of oil in your mouth causes so much problem. Any solutions? Maybe another oil? The only solution the dentist had was try oil pulling again and see what happens but by now I am tired of going there and having work done on my tooth, not to mention the costs!

For me the only culprit when it comes to athletes foot is refined sugar. I suffered athletes foot on a daily basis for many years but I finally found that it goes away a few days after I stop eating sugar and never comes back as long as I stay away from it. If I do eat sugar athletes foot comes back next morning. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind about refined sugar being the reason for my athletes foot problem. Of course the reason I get athletes foot after eating sugar and other people don't underlines some nutrition deficiency in my body. OP could help with that deficiency but I haven't experimented in that way yet. In terms of sugar intake fresh fruits are not a problem unless I abuse it (sometimes happens during mango season!)and I stay away from honey because I can never be sure if it was heated or not. All other sugar can be considered dangerous, refined white sugar being the worse but jaggery and the other supposedly natural sugars are also pretty bad. Hope this helps.

I'd like to start off by saying, what an amazing site !! I'm 23 years old and in good health except for the fact that I get seizures sometimes. I am curently taking dilantin for this. I actually just started Oil Pulling today. I don't quite know if I'm doing it ok, but from evryone's explanation, sounds like I'm on the right track. I am actually using pure Sunflower oil purchased at my local grocery store. Doesn't say what type of pressed it is but I'm still looking to see what this oil can do. I swished with 1 Tsp for about 20 minutes, rinsed, brushed my teeth. I was wondering, is it ok to do this only at night? Or do I really have to do it in the morning? Thanks !!! And again, amazing site, learning a lot !!

I had problem with my teeth for years. About ten years before I had fillings in four or five cavities. About a year ago again there was problem of receding of gums, and gingivitis. More over one of Right side Third Molar ( Wisdom tooth) was getting loose and paining like any thing. Situation became so bad that I was not able to drink plain water without screaming. The dentist advised me use special tooth paste and mouth wash for sensitive teeth. Then I started gargling with Neem water. Some how problem came under control.
Then I searched Earth clinic and found oil pulling therapy for mouth problems. I started with Sunflower oil a table full early morning. It was amazing, within a few days every thing started settle down. I am not sure the gums receding is fully cured, but there is no more pain, no Hot and cold feeling problem and the good thing is the loosen wisdom tooth is not so loose any more. I am very comfortably eating all types of food chapatis, meat, rice hot and cold beverages. Now all my family members are doing oil pulling regularly. Most of my relatives and friends have started and getting benefit of this therapy. Thanks to Earth clinic.

From day 1 of this regimin, it has completely curbed my appetite! And I have lost 8 lbs in the first week! I also seem to be sleeping more deeply. It used to be that eating was a visual thing for me, having nothing to do with whether or not I was hungry. Now, after a week of oil pulling, when I see food, I don't crave it and then have to eat something. My appetite now seems to be actually connected to my stomach and if my stomach is settled and calm with a feeling of being taken care of (I don't know how else to describe it), I'm not interested in eating. This is nothing short of miraculous. And I'm so grateful.

After three weeks of OP, I noticed that the sensitivity has completely disappeared. My teeth feel stronger, and have lightened quite a bit.
As for my energy, it has improved as well. I don't have the usual dying-to-take-a-nap-at-two-o'clock-in-the-afternoon-feeling any more.
I have been using one tablespoon of sunflower oil, twice a day, on an empty stomach, for about 25 days now. I am now convinced that OP is a valid therapy, and I will continue my regimen to see what other benefits will occur. Thank you!

For about 2 years I was unable to chew on the right side of my mouth because of tooth pain and extreme sensitivity to hot, sweet, cold, etc. I strongly suspect I am in need of another root canal. Starting with the second day of oil-pulling I found the entire right side of my my mouth was no longer sensitive. Beginning with the 3rd day, I was able to chew on the right side of my mouth, albeit gingerly. Now, 3 weeks later I chew on the right side of my mouth equally with the left side - no pain, no sensitivity. And I've noticed my teeth feel more secure and they no longer feel 'loose. And as many has commented on, they feel cleaner and look whiter.
The audible wheezing noises while breathing whenever I would lie down have stopped. I seem to be sleeping better too. Some nights all the way through. I have a way to go on this problem, though.
Milk makes my lungs fill with phlegm which was really hard for me to expectorate in the mornings. This too has stopped. Despite continuing to drink milk (homemade probiotic Kefir, actually) and the occasional milk in my coffee, teas and with cereal, my lungs no longer feel congested and I have no coughing fits anymore while trying to expel the congestion out of my lungs; no coughing either as there doesn't seem to be any congestion. I had been a heavy smoker for twenty-some years before quitting 18 years ago and this is probably the genesis of my lung problems.
Since early childhood I have had the herpes simplex virus in my body and suffered from frequent cold and canker sores. Now, by the time I feel one on my tongue it is gone in the morning. The other day the smallest, single-blister cold sore I ever had - which was all but invisible appeared in the corner of my mouth. It went through its stages and absolutely gone in 3 days, flat. Without treatment the blisters multiply and the healing process normally takes around 2 weeks.
NOTE: As I do not have the time nor disposition to do this oil-pulling therapy more than once a day - I 'pull' sometimes for over the 20 minutes - all the way up to an hour. None of my fillings have loosened or fallen out. A funny aside to all this is that I now find myself absent-mindedly 'pulling' all my drinks, coffee, tea, milk and if nothing else I am sure it is helping to remove food trapped in between my teeth.
