With the idea of propagating this simple therapy far and wide, was earlier suffering from asthma, palpitation, gas, insomnia, sensitivity to weather, food allergy, migraine, varicose veins and arthritis etc.

The Process

Measure 10 ml. of refined sunflower oil or groundnut oil (approximately one table spoon) and without any great effort or hurry, wash and suck the oil inside the mouth like using a mouthwash. Never gargle or swallow the oil. Pull the oil through the teeth often and this oil will pull all the toxins from your body through saliva.

How long?

This process has to be carried out for at least ten minutes, preferably for fifteen to twenty minutes or till the oil becomes a thin white foam.

When to do?

Oil-pulling has to be done early in the morning on empty stomach before brushing the teeth for best results. It can be done twice or thrice in a day initially for quick results.

Precautions, if any?

• One should never swallow the foamy substance because it contains toxins, germs and harmful bacteria drawn out of the blood.

• Wash your mouth thoroughly and brush it as usual after spitting the foam.

• Brisk walk for thirty minutes daily and sufficient intake of Water in regular intervals in a day are essential for curing any ailments.

• Never spit the oil foam into your sink because the pipes will get clogged in the long run. If you stay in an apartment, use a sand-filled dust-bin and dispose it off regularly.
