Hey! I know I created this blog a ridiculous amount of time ago, wrote a few posts and forgot about it (like most of my life) but I've had so many things I've wanted to blog about lately, I figured I'd fire 'er back up!
I'll start with talking about oil pulling. I found it a bit ago while searching through the inter webs and it's been brought up a good amount of my facebook feed.
The main idea is you swish a tablespoon of vegetable based oil (In my case coconut oil as it's tastey and the most common) around in your mouth for 15-20 minutes, spit it out, rinse your mouth with warm salt water and brush and floss.
The health benefits are suppose to include-
*Healthier Skin
*Cleaner/Brighter Teeth
*Better smelling breath
*Healthier Gums
*May Help relieve headaches/hangovers
I started today April 10th- putting a glob of coconut oil in my mouth (that was the hardest part, the texture was pretty weird) once it melted I gently (you're going to be doing this for a while so don't be vigorous about it) swished it around my mouth for 15 minutes. It wasn't hard, the taste was pleasant (JUST DONT SWALLOW ANY OF IT) and I kind of forgot I was doing it while I checked my emails and went about my morning routine. Spit er out in the garbage (It can solidify back in the sink drain) swished with salt water, and brushed my teeth.
I already notice they are a tad whiter and they feel ridiculously clean. My mouth feels/tastes nice as well.
I'll absolutely be continuing this and updating you guys on how it's going. The only issue I found was my 1 year old wanted me to read him a book while I was doing it and well, that was kind of impossible, so I kinda just danced around with the book on my face- hey it worked.
