More and more research is revealing that the health of your mouth is extremely critical to the health of your whole body. A dysbiotic oral cavity increases our risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and dementia. Oil pulling is an easy and inexpensive way to improve the balance of microorganisms in the mouth and improve our health. Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that involves swishing pure oil around in the mouth to draw toxins from the body. This practice has immediate and tangible effects on conditions such as halitosis, gingivitis, and dental plaque. Doing this regularly has been shown to improve the luster of the hair, clear the skin, whiten teeth, eliminate parasites, reduce joint pain, and improve overall body odor. The Importance of Good Oral Hygiene: One of the major oral bacteria is streptococcus mutans, which when left unchecked will multiply in the mouth and secrete toxins into the body’s bloodstream. These toxins increase the inflammatory associated cytokine Interleukin-12 (IL-12), which is a strong contributor to the development of chronic disease. Elevated levels of IL-12 are particularly associated with endothelial (inner lining of the blood vessel) dysfunction which is correlated with heart disease, stroke, and dementia. Oil Pulling Goes Beyond Brushing & Flossing Brushing and flossing are obviously important for oral hygiene but oil pulling has some unique benefits. The oil pulling has been shown to bind, trap, and eliminate more microorganisms and get into deep pockets within the teeth. Root canals are a constant breeding ground for bacteria as they are essentially dead tissue that bacteria consistently feed upon. You cannot brush or floss enough to get the infections out of the root canal. But 10 minutes of oil pulling 1-2 times a day can be extremely effective at minimizing infectious bacteria in the root canal and the overall oral cavity. —>Comment with “Article” and I Will DM You a Detailed Report on Oil Pulling #naturalhealth #wellness #naturalhealing #teeth #inflammation #healthychoices #heal #healthyliving #healthy #healthychoice
