Why do they call it that? Shouldn't it just be a coconut oil mouth rinse or whatever? Pulling implies you're pulling teeth
Anyway I did look it up after you mentioned it here, I know someone who was doing it already too, and I am glad that my aloe vera mouthwash is also coconut oil, I have been even more diligent about using it every night before bed now (had gotten lazy doing it in morning instead, yes I know you should be doing a multiple times a day, but that's not going to happen lol) Feeling good!
hi mate, I was replying to this last night, but mega wasted ness swept over me and it kind of faded away like most other things lol.
It’s pulling, because it’s not just a mouth wash, more of a technique and procedure.
The pulling, it’s also swishing, is required because that is what dews the coconut oil all around the inside of the mouth, back and forth through every tooth and cranny.
But also, the pulling’swishing is vital for the actual action and effect.
It’s that proactive, continuous motion, which activates an oral enzyme, which is chiefly responsible for Oil Pulling’s renowned powerful blood and general detoxification effects.
I’m just guessing maybe the same enzyme plays a role in drawing out tooth cavities and any other toxicity within the mouth.
But also, “pulling” by intention or not, could relate to the action of pulling out the toxins, pathogens, waste.
It’s not just a quick mouthwash though. That’ll achieve nothing.
I do it for the amazing respiratory symptom relief I get every time, it’s like a cleanse of the upper airways and it hoovers up so much of my abnormal allergy mucus, and makes it instantly much easier to breathe clearly through nose, head, throat, top of lungs.
Oil pulling feels mightily refreshing too, to the mouth physically But mentally to because it does genuinely draw out toxins from your blood stream which will affect your mental state.
It improves skintone and if done first thing in the morning before you put anything in your mouth even water for the full detoxification benefits it’s also long being proclaimed for boosting your metabolism.
@Shit Snacks hope you are well bro. If ever I don’t reply to you, please know it’s not one bit cos I can’t be bothered, it’s being mega wasted always and this amnesia condition lol, and despite being a slight fish out of water here, I’ve so many rewarding fun and meaningful interactions, PM’s etc here, there, everywhere, like all younproper members lol 150 alerts a day even haha.
Occasionally, especially like this when I did start wilfully this reply last night, but lacked conscious capacity to do justice, so it was more prone to my amnesia and getting lost in the cracks.
But I made note, I respect my bro Shit Snacks Im gonna make sure that one doesn’t slip. Lol, truth though.
Did my oil pulling earlier. Had two lots edibles, 2 vapcaps of great Sativa herb from this summer.
Plus new Instant kava in mail today feels awesome so far, up to 28.5 grams already, a day plus worth lol.
I’m very tired, otherwise Im trying to persuade myself Im fit to take 3-400 mics of LSD after a 6 week break.
In balance, I swear it helps me you know.
Good kava gets you so chilled, placed out, it’s a brilliant time to both really enjoy a vape, and an acid drop.
And once a day is ample too. Just don’t skimp. At least 20 minutes swishing, it’s really very easy, automatic, unconscious.
I never do more than once a day, but I could, it would be more refreshment at a different time but we can only do so much right?
