Full mouth of coco
FOOD & HEALTH
As soon as you wake up before brushing teeth or eating, swish 1 tsp of coconut oil in your mouth for 20 minutes.
Oil pulling is an age-old remedy rooted in Ayurvedic medicine that uses natural substances to clean and detoxify teeth and gums. This concept is incredibly simple. Basically, a person swishes 1 tsp of a coco oil in the mouth for 20 minutes and then spits it out and rinses well. Oil pulling is best done in the morning, before eating or drinking anything. For an extra clean mouth, try rinsing with salt water. Also, you can mix coco oil with turmeric to whiten teeth naturally. Brush your teeth as normal. Repeat 3-5 times per week for better results.
