In order to oil pull, take two teaspoons of sesame, coconut, or olive oil and lightly swoosh in your mouth for 10- 20 minutes a day.
It's been shown to help tooth decay, bleeding gums, naturally whiten teeth, strengthen your jaw muscles, cleanse your mouth, kill bad bacteria, and even support weight loss.
Afterwards, spit the oil out, rinse your mouth with water, and brush your teeth as normal. Perform this routine every day for two weeks and then just twice a week.

Oil pulling is an ancient Indian technique to clean your mouth and lots of diseases like acne ,arthritis and many more which was written in Indian Ayurveda.And now this is spreading all over the world and I feel proud to say that .Love from India.🇮🇳
Can u tell which remedy is mentioned in your ayurveda for stomach ulcers?
@@lifewithmissa8985 cabbage juise,moringa ,neem,turmeric, garlic ,ginger etc...Try to find an ayurvedic doctor if you want fastest result instead of finding remedy from Indian veda.And for the knowledge purpose you can try to read ayurvedic medicine.
@@prastutikalita4543 I live in Pakistan here there is no ayurvedic doctor
@@lifewithmissa8985 avoid having coffee/tea. It'll help.

Who else looking through the comments to see if this works?😂
Post waterMalone Is lit omg me ?? Lol caught me 😂😂😂
Post waterMalone Is lit I was soo trying to see if I was the only one🤣😂
post watermalone it works!! my cousin does it everyday and even m gonna start from next morning.. You can try it yourself as its completely easy and safe until you swallow it, but you can see the benefits yourself. I guarantee you
this man skipped the most important part, the main purpose of Oil Pulling is to detoxify yourself and mouth benefits are complementary
It definitely works
Oooo You sooo got me.. And Like 99.9% of people watching this vid. Of course we're all gonna read the comments. HEY, WHO ELSE IS BREATHING WHILE THEY WATCH THIS VID! GIVE ME LIKES!
I had tooth decay and receeding gums so bad you could see the roots of my teeth. After doing this for 1 week my gums had drastically improved and tooth pain gone I Love Dr. Axe
You did exactly like said in the video?
So it takes exactly one week to feel and see results?
Did you had any crowns ?
I am going to start trying this today 05-Apr-20
@@misssonja1 how it went ?
Hi everyone,
This is for those people who are thinking whether or not it works.
My story: I was suffering from sensitivity/gum disease for 6 long years, and finally decided to try oil pulling using coconut oil. To be honest, first 3 weeks I didn't get any results and I lost all hopes and about to give up!!
Since I bought a expensive coconut oil bottle and decided to finish it, that's when miracle happened. Trust me, after 2 months I am not at all experiencing sensitivity or any gum issues. Thanks to all those positive people in the youtube who helped me to believe that it works!!
pls tell me your experience and routine
Thank you for your words 😊
Thats brilliant lol. Since its a waste to not use it so instead use it even if you dont see results and bam ypu got em
That is why patience is a virtue, and it obviously has it's rewards!
Did you do once a day or twice? How many minutes? Did you brush before or after oil pulling? Morning or at night?
Who else are watching this while oil pulling?
Nico Reveco m here
Me😆
Yuuuup
I actually puke it taste like unappetizing
I just done
For all you Smokers out there with reseading Gums This Does work Hey I saved my Teeth and Will not need the denchers my dentist started preparing for me. But have to do this for the rest of my Life.I am a strong believer and will continue .Hope I give up smoking eventually
Did you give up the cigs? Hope all is well ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I healed my gums doing this. My gums were swollen down over my teeth, and 2 dentists said they weren't sure why. I started doing this, and salt water rinse, and my gums look amazing. It is so sad how so many dentists say it doesn't work or people will make videos saying I did this for x amount of time, and it didn't. work. It worked for me and others I know that do it.
I've been doing this for about 40+ years now and it works great!! It also pulls from your sinuses and will help clear up allergies and infections. But, afterwards I swish with salt water...not just plain water. Not sure it makes a difference, but it does get the oil out of the mouth to floss and brush like normal. Hope everyone gives it a go!!
Can you tell a little bit more about what it's done for you? Are your teeth harder? Were they bad before? Other non-dental benefits?
I think it does make a difference with salt water vs just plain water but honesty that is a personal choice
@@susanw1863 salt added to the water opens up your cell walls so the water is absorbed
@@Growndweller I went to a dentist when my toddler smacked my front tooth pretty hard. The initial visit, the dentist found a cavity on another tooth, my molar. I started oil pulling (mostly to help with the other damaged tooth) & ended up going for a follow up 2 weeks later & the cavity was completely gone!
I agree about the salt but I read one should add baking soda with the salt to the rinsing water. Also read to brush and floss first before oil pulling, then rinse, then brush entire mouth again. Its a long process but I believe well worth it.
This works! In 2016, I had severe gum issues. My jaw felt as though it was almost wired shut, I could barely open my mouth to speak. I oil pulled with coconut oil ( I don't remember the particular brand) once/twice daily for about a week. I thought oil pulling wouldn't be able to help and I almost gave up because the pain persisted. Then out of nowhere within that time I was able to speak and eat normally.
I highly recommend oil pulling.
Wow that is so amazing! Thank you for sharing!
I've been oil pulling for 2 weeks and my mouth and teeth have never felt better. I'm 46 .
I do it while I put on my makeup lol
You have to do for atleeast 2 months
@@TamilArasi-bx8oe my mouth felt much improved wthin a week.
Oil pulling is best it's indian ayurvedic technique
I’ve been doing this almost daily for about 3 weeks and it really makes me feel better and my teeth are better and whiter !
does anyone feel like they have more saliva in their mouth than oil after 2min of oil pulling?
crazynath7 yes. This happens when you put a lot of oil in. just spit a little out.
Lmao
crazynath7 its normal
Yeah because you brain is telling your body to produce saliva because it's all part of the digestive process. And also it's building up because you are not swallowing. I hope you are not swallowing.
crazynath7 It got so bad drool was leaking out of my mouth.
It really works. I do olive oil pulling for over half a year. And it literally saved me from my tooth pain.
It was so hard to keep the oil in my mouth while reading the comments. Some of them are pretty funny...
LMAO I swallowed some
Hahahahahahah me tooooo
I was doing the same thing lol
Ive been oil pulling for about a month now and Ive seen amazing results! My gums are less red and I dont wake up with morning breath anymore!!
I tried every oral health product imaginable, but none stopped the minor bleeding gums. 2 weeks of oil pulling nearly every day and my gums weird healthy, and my teeth very white. Best method for oral health cleaning I have tried with actual results.
Rand Wulf there r no of methods in aayurwed about daily health maintance
I've been doing this almost 2 years now and it keeps me healthy, hardly any sickness! And my dental hygienist says I barely have any plaque at each visit ...she's always impressed
miranda keenan has it works in your gum ?
Do u use coconut oil?
Jamie Reid 👍
Do u hv any filling in yr teeth
@Jamie Reid: how often have you been doing it for 2 years?
This actually works so good! My receding gums around 4 of my teeth is healing!!! And sensitivity is become less!! Some black spots that I thought were cavities, r gone!! I'm so happy to have discovered this oil pulling with coconut oil! 20 min morning and night!!
малисса O. That's so good to know! How are your teeth now?
Once a day, not morning and night, for first 2 weeks. And then twice a week as recommended in the video. Oil pulling in moderation is the key to keep off the side effects.
@@summydots what are the side effects, please?
U should thank Indian Ayurveda and Sushruta (Father of Surgery)
I’ve been doing this for 5 years now and my teeth are in mint condition and my breath never stinks
I vouch for this. I’ve recently been oil pulling everyday with coconut oil, I use raw organic cold pressed coconut oil (1 tablespoon first thing in the morning for 20 mins) then rinse with water, clean my tongue with a tongue scraper, brush then floss, rinse out again. I found this more effective to do it first thing in the morning as apparently that’s when you have more bacteria in your mouth.
My mouth feels incredibly clean! My teeth have actually gone whiter by a lot. I definitely suggest it to anyone who is curious to try. I didn’t think it would do much but it definitely improved my oral hygiene for sure. Works incredible well alongside a tongue scraper
I have mild infection in my gum recently which has reached the root 😭😭😭 Post Covid problems of inability to take care of my health and fitness due to sadness at deaths of so many friends around
The tooth hurts a lot , it's so horrible pain ,gonna try this
Will it help me now or I wait for 5days to complete course of anti infective drugs
I know how you feel. I feel incredibly sad that I only discovered this miracle cure now, when I am about to lose my freedom or my health.
Do it while you're watching youtube videos
Sharms P. Exactly what I'm doing lol
Sharms P. Me too
😂😂😂😂
except for prank videos XD
Great Tip!!!
Dear Dr Josh , I was in massive pain frm last 2 days due to a severe tooth ache on my left side. I tried pain killers to some over the counter remedy but of no avail . I was howling in pain when I just happened to see the oil pulling method on google and ur video. I tried it for 20 minutes as mentioned. And I was feeling far far better. Thank you and God bless you..........this method came as a tremendous relief
you are born in india and u dont know about this?
Vijesh Nair that happened to me too, my gums were swollen and i was in pain i did this method it helped me a lot!
lol exactly same. I feel like I have a new life. This is legit.
India is a country of 1.3 billion. Indians speaks thousands of languages and practice many religions. Indians do not know about India and fellow Indians.
Nabiyah1 thank you
Oil Pulling(known as Gandusha in Ayurveda) was first mentioned by Sushruta in Sushruta Samhita about 3000 years back. Sushruta was also known as the Father of Surgery and taught the world Plastic surgery, cataract removal, rhinoplasty etc. Sushruta Samhita was translated into Arabic sometime around 7th century AD and from their into English.
Surely he mentioned....it must be organic, cold pressed, unrefined! Don't use artificial junk!
?
You forgot to mention. Do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Love from India 🇮🇳
Why? If I might ask.. / Sweden
I am a board Certified Dental Assistant, Nursing Assistant, and also a Holistic Wellness Practitioner, the Coconut pulling is indeed healing. Coconut oil has many benefits. I also have a tsp of coconut oil day.
extra virgin coconut oil?
I read that it is bad to do if you have silver amalgam fillings. I don't see any dentists mentioning this.
Yoo im not even kidding i tried oil pulling with olive oil for a minute and my tooth pain is gone. God bless!
Is it hard to keep in your mouth, does it taste bad? I’m concerned about not being able to handle it
@@n4sti4 coconut oil is better for taste if u r not allergic
well im with u.. my gum sore is reduce by alot..
I just want to add my experience. I usually keep extra virgin coconut oil on hand but ran out. For about a month I have been dealing with a gum/ pain/ sensitivity issue. I was pulling with EV olive oil with a few drops of tea tree essn oil while watching this video last night. I am amazed at the relief I felt and I am feeling today. I overslept this morning so I had to run out and just chew xylitol gum, but still the relief is significant. I guess I will be living the oil pulling life. I will update.
@@andreatrue3054 it's great to know your experience ... can I ask you what does "EV" mean? Thank you
Had a common cold. Did this for 5 days. I got healed within 5 days. ALL medical books says common cold (a virus infection) requires 14 days to heal. Wow this is a miracle. Thanks for introducing this to me. I do it every day now.
Tried this for 20 minutes after experiencing pain between two back molars for the last couple of days. About 30 minutes after, no more pain! I do brush my teeth religiously two times a day but tend to skip the flossing which is probably the root cause. I split the oil out in a clear glass and you could see the plaque material at the bottom.
I did it for about a year now. I do not know yet its effect to my whole body, but what really amazed me is that my sinutisis is really gone. It is very effective.
I've had sharp tooth pains in my left jaw and it felt like an infection was coming up. Took a spoonful of coconut oil with 2 drops of pure wild oregano oil and swished it around for 10 minutes. Done that for the past 3 days and all the sharp pains are gone and my teeth feels stronger! Amazing stuff.
Funny thing is i've watched this video a long time ago but when I got the tooth pain it just popped up in my head, now i'm here commenting on it lol. Thank you good sir!
Does it work for loose tooth?
Fjerid how you were able to get thru with the oregano oil it’s so spicy for me even when I try to use drops in a cup of tea😖
Did you ever have to go to the dentist again after you did this? Or did the lain stay aways
FYI:
He tells you to spit in a cup or trashcan since it can clog your sink if you spit it in the drain.
Just spit it outdoors. The lawn doesnt seem to mind it.
Excatly oil clog sink after awhile so spit it in a bin
No. It doesn't. I've been doing it all along.
Oil pulling is great. Personally I use coconut oil. Before you oil pull, make sure your stomach is empty so the best time is in the morning when you wake up! I've been doing this for almost a year and my mouth feels so clean. Some days I don't even feel like brushing my teeth anymore because it feels clean. I haven't had any dental problems this year except for when I chipped my tooth. Haha.
+Ish Bautista i just ate and i want to do oil pulling before i go to bed :(
Why does your stomach need to be empty? You're not swallowing the oil?
I don't know exactly what you have, but coconut oil can be both liquid and butter-like depending on the temperature. It is completely normal if its warm where you have it. You can try if it solidifies in the fridge if you want to be sure.
you have to spit out the oil in the end. You don't want all that bacteria and garbage in your tummy.
is it really treat toothache?
Pulling coconut oil is fixing my receded gums. The main thing I use to measure is I have a bottom front tooth that has it's root showing. It's my worst tooth as far as gum recession. The root section is almost halfway closed up from where it was 3 weeks ago. I think it'll be completely healed within a couple months. I also feel I should add within that time I've stopped smoking, drinking, and eating junk food. Before that I was on a relatively healthy diet aside from eating sweets. My diet is now mainly vegetables and fruits, maybe meat 2-3 times a week, very rarely do I eat grains, no sweets. I'm sure those factors help as well but the oil pulling is the star of the show.
3ternal question your teeth were loose? I have that problem.. 😭 i am scared
i'm only in my 20s, but for the past year, i had some traumatic things happen in my life, so i pretty much threw my life away, and didnt brush my teeth everyday. for one year, i literally brushed my teeth maybe like 2x, even after eating junk food. i was unemployed during this time, and lived alone, so no one knew about this but me. anyhow, some of my family members are dentists, and i showed them my teeth after i realized that my gums have receded, and they told me that it was pretty severe. keep in mind, i had perfect teeth, perfect gums a year ago. i underestimated how much damage one year of not brushing can do, and now my gums are receding. anyway, ive been desperately oil pulling, flossing after anything i eat, and scaling my teeth every single day. i hope my gums grow back cuz im sorrrrrry ;(
@@jumukjjang7 any progress, thoughts or notes to report on your gum reccession?
Best wishes
Wow! That’s incredible for you, glad things have improved so much. I’m actually trying this out, on day 2 and my teeth already feel cleaner, especially right after I wake up. Hoping to see improvement in my gum recession too!
We need an update from you. Doing the exact thing right now. I Just stopped everything & am having a problem with a tooth. It's been a year. How are your teeth from Coconut Pulling?
A little late to the party, but am dealing with a painful tooth, which feels like it's coming loose..being late Saturday, there's nothing that i can do til monday..my sister showed me this vid, and after the comments, i decided I have nothing to lose..so here i am, 10 min into 20 min timer with a very large tablespoon of coconut oil pulling..thanks Dr Axe..and all commenters
I use organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and puncture a capsule of oregano oil and add that to the mix. My gums have gone from REALLY BAD (dark red and tons of blood when brushing and flossing) to EXCEPTIONAL (light pink and no more bleeding). This took only about a week to pull off, and now it's just maintenance. Oil pulling has upgraded my dental care routine in a huge way, because it helps keep me on top of the morning and night brushing. I also soak my brush heads in isopropyl alcohol to make sure they're not holding any bacteria. Looking forward to my dentist's reaction when i go on for a cleaning!
This also had help me a lot ! My teeth no longer bleeds since I do the Coconut Oil Pulling ! And no longer hurts when I eat too cold or too hot meals ... This is now my daily rhythms the same way as brushing our teeth daily ...
Thank you for demonstrating this and explaining it so well. I've read about this but you helped me understand it better. Thanks! I am going to do this right now! Also, It is so very refreshing to listen you a Doctor talking about faith in The Lord. I love Jesus too! I got saved when I was 36 and am so thankful for his wonderful gift of salvation. I do struggle with grief over some past issues.
Hi sister. I pray that you find peace ❤
Thank you God for coconut oil. I have been sick and have bleeding gums. Coconut oil seems to have stopped the bleeding. And helped with my depression
Honestly this oil pulling is amazing!!!! Every time I have plaque build up my gums go sore and I always go for the coconut oil pulling and within two weeks gum sensitivity is gone and plaque actually starts chipping off
Wow!!!
I noticed my breath smelled fine in the morning! That was awesome. It was just like I had brushed my teeth
Its all so easy once u start it
Agreed thesaltinusall2! Once you add it to your routine, it becomes second nature.
***** I have the frankincense, and lavender. Is it five drops each, or did you mean for just one of the essential oils to be used with the 2 teaspoons of coconut oil?
***** I think he said "or", so one oil at the time. I personally think 5 drops is a lot. I started with just 1 or 2 of clove and it seems pretty strong.
Michelle Karaffa Yes it is a lot to me as well. I started 5 drops each, but couldn't handle it at first, so I went to two drops each. I like the fact that it covers the taste of the coconut, but feel like when trying to get the taste out of my mouth it feels like poison if swallowed.
But I will do this for at least a month, because the pain is almost gone, and I want to make sure my teeth are totally healed, before I drop to once or twice a week.
Thanks for your response!
***** Thanks!
I had the worst tooth ache where I could even eat solid foods anymore, even lentil soup would be uncomfortable. I started oil pulling with clove oil and within a few days the pain was GONE! I will continue doing this for the next couple of weeks.
The root probably died, you need a root canal
@@chiquita683 Continue to oil pull and you might not. I also make a paste of tumeric and oil and rub it on my teeth and gums after pulling. Leave it on for 10 or 15 minutes. Water pic at night with a bit of hydrogen peroxide with water.
Keep going- for life!
Forgot the most important detail! This has to be done in the morning, on an empty stomach
This is something that I don't get it. Why in the morning with an empty stomach?! I mean, after that you would eat something (breakfast). I would prefer to do it at night before bed🙄
Don’t think that’s necessary
@@mabelnunez8010 if you swallow the oil it can make you throw up bc youre full
Praise God and good day Dr. Josh. I've been pulling with coconut oil for about two weeks, very happy with the results. Thanks for the information and demonstration, be well, stay encouraged, and I'm a Subscriber!
I love oil pulling, and have been doing it for a year. After doing it for just a couple weeks it really helped to whiten my teeth. I just made my own vid on it. What I did not know is that cleansing your mouth by oil pulling can help the state of the rest of your body. So interesting. Thanks for the valuable info.
Thank you so much for this information I have been researching oil pulling and it really seems like this might work for me… There are a bunch of people who say it isn’t true, but they seem lame, you seem very confident and sure of yourself I appreciate you taking the time to help everybody with their health, you are truly a man of healing!
Did this for the first time just now and my teeth feel great! Although the oil made me want to vom a little, but I'm sure I will get over it after oil pulling a few times!
Such a clean man, you could see through him like a window. What an American role model.
This might sound weird to some but my cystic acne got so much better after i did this for a year. After first two weeks, i saw significant reduction in redness and after a month, sizes of my acne shrank. To be clear, it never got rid of acne but it was helpful in keeping them under controp. Fyi i used sesame seed oil right after i wake up without any intake of food lr water and "gargled" for 20 min
acne comes from dairy!
MissBeau2ful the ingredient SLS or sodium lauryl sulfate in most toothpaste has been known to cause flair ups of acne especially around the jaw line, its also known to cause many other health problems including cancer. I use sensodyne pronamel gentle whitening or daily protection which don't have this ingredient, and on the positive side 9 out of 10 dentists recommend it :)
I completely cured my cystic acne with oil pulling. I do an hour a day of oil pulling with sunflower oil. I hope It helps.
Rachel Lynn would you please write me what products(brands) your dermatologist recommended you to use? Breakouts really bother me.
@@irme8930really coz im having cystic acne😔
This is the best I ever tried for my gum infection it doesn't almost bleed anymore. Try it you won't be disappointed!
This is so worth it. I have Trigeminal Neuralgia to the point where at times l could not brush my teeth. I found out about oil pulling which l thought was ridiculous. But l tried it. So glad l did. I started back oil pulling when my TN returned and it has helped with the pain and oil pulling gives the gums and teeth a rest. I also use organic tooth powder (no fluoride whatsoever) and a bamboo toothbrush.
I seriously love the clarity content tone just everything about this video. THANK YOU!! SO grateful Dr. Axe thank you!
20 minutes? what i barely do 3 minutes without gagging. and my jaw definitely is getting a workout!! 5minutes is my goal !!lol
Seb V I did too melt the amount u need in a small lid in a bowl of water do its not like lard texture and urs warm tasteless x
Seb V you don't have to swish it hard at all lol. do it gently.
Only slightly, bro. Most of the time you can even just hold it there.
It gets easier. I usually do it in the 10-15 minute range. Just don't focus on the time or else it will feel much longer than it is.
SometimesOffensive SometimesNot
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO SWISH!!!! NOT TO HOLD!!!
This video is far way better than all dr. Oz videos.
Power of Ayurveda...
Glad that it is helping humanity...
Love from India ❤
If you are doing this in a shower or tub, be careful of slipping in the spot where you spat/spit the oil out. Very informative. Thank you much for this.
Don’t spit it out into your plumbing system at all ! Spit into the garbage. I keep an empty water bottle in the bathroom to spit into and then toss it in the trash when needed.
I do it at night, while I use my phone when I'm ready for bed lol time flies by! I'm usually not good at keeping routines, but this one is really easy!:)
Dr. Axe: I'm quite convinced that this is very effective , since I was a little long in the tooth ,
Tried the Oil Pulling. My gums started to heel and one of my front teeth started to grow
A small very white extension on one side of the tooth .Imagine that! One caution, don't
Oil Pull if your about to sneeze. Found out the hard way.
Do minor fractures really heal and the enamel of the tooth will return after continuing with coconuts.. please I am suffering and need an honest answer 😭
Hahaha I sneezed reading your comment.
Lol
Man, I wish I know about this sooner. My late grandpa would love this.
I noticed the difference.I love this.Thank you Dr.Axe
Just came across your video and tried it for 16 minutes. My mouth feels so clean and fresh. Thank you.
Hi everyone, it's absolutely working for me..I'm using this method for 3weeks now, I had gum disease..my gums are improving and also white spots that I had on my teeth are disappearing. Also had a tooth infection due to a root canal, my tooth broke and I got severe infection that cleared up aswell.
For almost two weeks I suffered with severe pain and took heavy dose pain killers, while I was waiting to see an endodontist. Doc said I have to spend $2000 for root canal and crowns.
Then I followed these home remedies for 1 month:
1) Clove oil n Garlic mix before dinner- put directly on the tooth. Bite it n hold for 15min. Spit it out and rinse with regular water. Do NOT brush/rinse with any chemicals/acidic. Then I ate dinner. By the time I finished dinner the smell faded out. It worked for me.
2) Coconut oil pulling ever day morning. If you have severe cold/cough don’t do oil pulling. Also don’t do Choirs/workout while oil pulling. It’s very important that you stay focused and relaxed. There are studies that small oil particles end up in lungs. So don’t contribute to that theory.
3) Apple cider vinegar rinse- after breakfast, lunch or snack or munch. I’ll Never use chemicals like Listerine again.
4) Floss twice a day- morning n night
5) tooth brush “gently” twice a day with very very little toothpaste.
6) Charcoal n Salt mix ever Alternate day - slowly rub on the gums. This is also a very good idea as it effectively reduces acid levels and prevents enamel corrosion. It also helps as tooth whitener.
It worked and I promised myself I’ll never sleep without flossing. I’ll always rinse my mouth every-time I eat or drink.
Praneeth I need a root canal too, 😭 I get anxiety for dental work even the smallest dental work. What will happen if I shallow some by accident.
omg i'm so happy to find some videos about oil pulling. I knew about this just now!..now that I'm experiencing terrible pain in my teeth. Thank you very much Doc! I'm going to try this one!
I have been using MCT coconut oil for years and I use it with my coffee and also using it with my cucumber and lemon water and last i gargle so that my teeth and gums are healthy. I love it! ❤️❤️❤️
I am very grateful for this opportunity for getting healthier.
All his remedies have been highly effective for me so far such as excluding wheat, dairy, and sugar out of my diet. This doc is by far the best out there. I did oil pulling for a second time today for about 40 min, hope it helps.
To all reading this: DO THIS! I've been oil pulling on and off for a year. Although my teeth haven't whitened as much as I hoped, I absolutely can't live without it. Maybe it hasn't been studied enough; maybe it's only minimally effective accd'g to dental science, but all I know is, when I oil pull, my mouth feels like I just left the dentist. That feeling, only better. I find 21 minutes, not 20, is optimal for me. Every time I oil pull, my mouth feels that clean - so we're talking every day, if you choose to do it that often. Of course, I brush and floss afterwards. Don't spit in your drain; your plumber will hate you. And when you rinse your mouth with water afterwards, spit that in the garbage, too, because it still puts oil in the drain. And don't worry, you won't be tempted to swallow. I can't say enough about it - cheap, effective, do it while you're watching TV, and your mouth feels fantastic. It's worth it for that alone.
Lyndra Ski use it with Colgate white amazing.
How long do you wait till you ate or drank anything? And did you do this at night or in the morning? If at night, do you have to do on an empty stomach? Thanks in advance!
just started this a week ago. absolutely loving it. gonna add in essential oil of peppermint starting tomorrow.
I kno this is about teeth whitening and care but it has helped with gum discomfort in my mouth from too much sweets, sodas and spicy foods. After just a week of doing this I have seen a significant improvement. So amazing i had to share. Hoepfully someone reads this and it helps them. Please note this is also in addition to cutting out sodas entirely and only drinking water and an occasional drink whenever.
Antonio M Bennett how long did it take for your teeth to start getting whiter?
Can you drink milk and fruit juices??
Just tried it for the first time now. My mouth feels great!
wow awesome! thank you so much for this
Great video! Starting this right now..Thank you for breaking it down to an understandable procedure:)
The BEST video on Oil Pulling. Love it. Thank you Dr Axe.
This is really amazing , i did it once with coconut oil for 20 min . Now i am going to do more often !
I started it today for 10 mins. It wasn't to bad. Actually, I like it. Thanks Dr.!
Hello! Thank you for this video I really enjoyed it! Does it matter what coconut oil you use?
I love that you do videos and leave your opinions out of it. there are people out there that just want to know HOW and not caring about the truth if it really works or not. 20 minutes is crazy but KUDOS for rec 5 min minimum,
This will save me money. Thank you so much Dr.!
I am on day 9 of oil pulling and I'm already seeing some results. My teeth don't bleed as much when I floss and I no longer have morning breath. I also use coconut oil. Thanks for the video
Just started oil pulling 2 days ago and I love the clean feeling of my mouth afterwards that lasts all day. My mouth even feels clean in the morning after waking up....go figure; and my teeth feel super clean all day also. Will definitely continue doing this.
Thanks so much, Doc...Ive been doing this for quite a while now..But your explanation was easy and simple to grasp...I learned from it...God Bless U!.
Great demonstration, very helpful tho I have not yet tried it. Will try it, thanks!
Doing it while watching the video helps alot ❤️ my first day today and I’m loving it 😍 Can’t wait for the results ❤️😍 i have swollen gums and wisdom toothache 😓😓hope this will help
Amazing! I've been (coconut) oil pulling and have had great results. I just added lavender essential oil this morning for my gums. I don't understand why our dentists don't suggest this. My teeth are super white now and feel healthy in spite of drinking pu erh tea all day every day.. haha!
+StandingPerfectlyStill Let's be real here.Dentists don't wanna lose their clients,that's why they don't suggest oil pulling.
Lnanan Koo i get that..but geez, there's gotta be some good ones out there.
Update for anyone curious: I stopped oil pulling for maybe three months, and my teeth weren't as white (tea drinker). So I know it's the oil pulling and not the tooth powder I brush with. Just putting that out there! (I find whitening paste to be harmful, in general, and it makes my teeth ache so whitening isn't my focus). I noticed I rarely get bad breath with oil pulling, too.
StandingPerfectlyStill Holly they don't suggest it because they don't get money from this
they didn't spend 8 years in college just to come out and tell you about a $4 remedy. How would they get paid?😅
Really nice and helpful video ! Thank you sir !
You''re awesome, Dr. Axe! thanks for all of the info!!!
Here in 2022 and want to do more natural remedies for my health and have been thinking of oil pulling for sometime! I know that dental health affects your heart health as well and, so I will add some cinnamon, and sharing this video with family!
Imagine oil pulling in the shower combined with cold showering, I'm going to try it starting today!
The shower is the perfect place to do it!
I quit pulling when time was limited, and I wanted to talk with people at home. The shower is a great tip.

Just keep in mind if pulling while in the shower, when your done to NOT spit it out down the drain, (A) the most obvious to avoid slips and falls and (B) the pulled oil could clog your drains especially if using cocounut oil.
Great tip :)

Hi Izzy, I have been using Coconut oil in my shower for years. I use it as wonderful skin scrub and it helps all kinds of skin conditions or simple winter dry skin. I use sugar, coconut oil and honey and mix until it is the right mixture. (Use on your lips as a exfoliation too) I usually run hot water a few seconds in my shower and no problems. Love the coconut oil in my hair too.
appreciate your helpful videos - wish you lots of success
I think I’ve been oil pulling the wrong way. Glad I found this video
I'm doing it 2-3 years now and it definitely helps my gums. That's one benefit I can confirm.
So you do this at night on an empty stomach or first thing in the morning and if in the morning, how long do you wait till you can eat or drink afterwards? Thanks in advance!
Hey doc. I used motor oil and now I'm pissing blood.
Lmfao
dxburner222 hahahahahaha.
dxburner222 hahahahaha fuckin love people like you make my day

Nice video. Very clearly explaind and informative. I like your videos dr Joch Axe. Thanks for sharing.
one of the best video. so simply explained.
Awesome practice, I have done this on and off for years. Currently on the regimen again, using essential oils too.
@Earth Empaths do you have to do oil pulling on an empty stomach?
This is one of the ancient methods written in the Aurveda.....and originated in Incredible India.... the country that has shown most technologically advanced ways to the world starting even 1000 years BC....
Did you just plug India?
yup....all those allopathy medicines are cool.but with a lots of side effects ,where as in ayurveda there are no side effects. Ayurveda treatment has no advertisement. yoga is a part of ayurveda. yeah ayurveda was designed in india ages ago.
lol I think he did!
U r right
Rahul bro tell me
Doing it for 2 weeks! Is great !!! Thanks so much
Excellent. Thank you for the information.
