Maybe you’ve already heard of this magical Indian Ayurveda treatment that is supposed to improve so many things concerning your health. My mum and me were interested in it and wondered if it really works so that she decided to try this procedure. As you will read underneath, this requires at least 20 minutes of your daily morning preparations which is why I couldn’t motivate myself to test it as I am already last-minute lots of the time… so in short, this would have ruined my punctuality at a very new level.
Here is what I can tell you from my mum’s experiences:
Procedure: Oil-Pulling
- Use a tongue cleaner
- Pull 1 table spoon of coconut oil through your teeth(keep moving the oil) every morning for a period of 20 min (not less!) before the breakfast
- Spit out the oil
- Clean your mouth with warm water
- Brush your teeth afterwards (you cannot brush your teeth with a normal toothpaste anymore, you will need to buy a Ayurveda tooth paste without fluoride)
Tips: Do not swallow the oil! Otherwise you kind of eat the toxin and poisons that you wanna get rid off.
Goal: DETOXification
A few expectations in the beginning and the reason why:
1. It improves:
a) teeth and gum quality
b) skin & hair
c) chronic sleeplessness
2. Positive impacts on almost each and every organ because of the different parts of your tongue where the organs are ‘located’
3. Delays the process of aging
4. Reduces the chance of getting illnesses such as Alzheimer, cancer, etc., but also headaches and migraine
5. Detoxification: Poisons will be reduced and combatted
5. Good for the digestion, so indirectly: it could help you losing weight
P.S. There are dozens of advantages that are simply too much to list them in here if you want to know more about it you can ask a nutrition coach, your doctor or read some literature such as this German bestseller or also online websites.
Experiences after using for 6 weeks:
Pro:
1. Teeth turn whiter and feel clean & smooth
2. Removes dental calculus
3. Less migraine
Contra:
1. Expectations concerning health improvement not met
2. It takes a long time where you cannot really continue your morning routine such as having your breakfast, brushing your teeth (still, you could do else during this period.. well, actually everything where you don’t need to speak or open your mouth, so just take your shower during this detox procedure)
Keep in mind that this procedure is long-term and takes some time to have an effect. That’s why there are only a few positive results after these six weeks, but there will be advantages that one just doesn’t realize such as the prevention against Alzheimer.
Furthermore you could use sesame oil as an alternative, for example, but don’t use olive oil! The price for the sesame one is a bit lower than the coconut one, which is around 8 euros, but you could also spend a bit less and to the top there are no limits set – as almost everywhere.
I hope you got an idea about the Coconut oil Ayurveda detoxification by now and maybe it works even better for you than it did so far for my mum. Things like that always depend on the person and how it’s accepted by the own body.
