I just realized that I have been oil pulling for a year and wanted to give an update about what it does for me. Nearly every morning when I get up, I swish some oil (usually sunflower becuase it seems to pull mucus up more than others do) in the shower. As the steam rises, it along with the oil helps to pull up lots of mucus every morning. The other day I started feeling like I was getting a cold. Itchy throat, mucus, clogged feeling. I immediately oil pulled and I had to do it 3 times in a row because so much mucus was coming up with the oil. I think I avoided a cold because of OP. My teeth stay white because of OP. I don't go to dentists anymore. AND I can tell it help keep me regular. Thanks for all the posts about the benefits of OPing!
I'm happy to hear it. I'm going on.....gosh, I don't know, maybe 4 years now? I can't tell you how many people I've turned onto this that are still doing it.
I'd love to hear about people pulling one year or longer and see if they are still OPing.
Hi Molly - I have been oil pulling since the fall of 2006. It is something that I expect to do the rest of my life. One new thing that I blame on you:)
You posted a good rant on oil pulling a few weeks ago and one of the things was that ayruvedics said that you should go to the bathroom while oil-pulling. I had never done this and usually use my time while oil-pulling to stretch, read the internet, put the dishes away from last night etc.
Now ever since your post as soon as I start oil-pulling I have to go to the Bathroom..... I have never been more regular:)
