Oil pulling is an ancient ayurvedic tradition which consists of swishing oil in your mouth for anywhere from three to 20 minutes in order to give it a proper cleaning. Coconut oil is the perfect oil for doing this because it’s anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antimicrobial. Essentially, when combined with a good brushing routine, it will get rid of all the things you don’t want lingering around your mouth.
