What is Oil Pulling?
Oil pulling is a simple and effective therapy that involves swishing coconut oil in the mouth. The lauric acid in coconut oil helps kill viruses and bacteria that cause diseases, which are hidden in the mouth and throat. The coconut oil pulls the viruses and bacteria out of the body, and when mixed with saliva, it becomes an antiseptic and turns cloudy.
“Many serious diseases begin in our mouth. Our mouths contain billions of bacteria and viruses that can cause serious diseases and easily enter the body if we consume food contaminated with chemicals or lacking proper hygiene. When the immune system weakens, it becomes a cause of various diseases, ranging from arthritis to heart disease.” Oil Pulling Therapy and The Coconut Oil Miracle by Dr. Bruce Fife, C.N., N.D., Dr. Narong Chomchalao
