In a society riddled with complicated, expensive and even dangerous detoxification methods, coconut oil pulling offers a technique that is refreshingly simple. Oil pulling is a practice taken from Ayurvedic medicine that involves swishing, or pulling, unrefined oil in your mouth for several minutes. The modern adaptation of oil pulling has only recently become popular in Western society, but already many are reporting amazing results from this unorthodox therapy.

Claimed benefits of oil pulling cover everything from curing gingivitis to facilitating weight loss. Some users even report a decrease in grey hair! However, since oil pulling is not a scientifically documented procedure, claims like these should be viewed skeptically.  On the other hand, since oil pulling is such an easy and harmless practice, it’s certainly worth a try to see if some real benefits can be had.
