oil pulling
9 Answers
I've been reading about the benefits of OIL PULLING whereby you swish a tablepoon full of oil in your mouth for 10 minutes and then spit it out.
It's claimed it has many many health benefits.............
anyone tried it?
Most of the sites say sesame or sunflower oil - but has anyone used olive oil?

�Earth Clinic�..results of a Ukranian Doctor��no scientific trial�all anecdotes.
�Colon Cleansing Zone��Dr. Karash again�all anecdotes and no scientific trials
Wikipedia�same story, no scientific trials.
Scientific evidence,,,2trials only from a study in an Indian Dental school which showed that oil �swishing 2 in the mouth was effective against streptococcus mutans.
Streptococcus mutans is a normal inhabitant of the mouth and it is a contributing factor in tooth decay.
Oil Pulling ("OP") is reported to cure: Mouth & Gum Disease; Stiff Joints; Allergies; Asthma; High Blood Sugar; Constipation; Migraines; Bronchitis; Eczema; Heart, Kidney, Lung Diseases; Leukemia; Arthritis; Meningitis; Insomnia; Menopause (hormonal issues); Cancer; AIDS; Chronic Infections; Varicose Veins; High Blood Pressure; Diabetes; Polio; Cracked Heels
None of the above have been shown to be due to st.mutans except �Mouth and Gum Disease�
Clean your teeth, use a mouth wash, just as effective and less �messy� than �oil pulling�

yup point taken squad - but for me i reckon well "whats the harm"? At best it has made my mouth feel so clean (not messy / yuck at all)...and at worst...well it might be a load of hogwash really but it won't cause side effects.
