A Step-By-Step Guide to Oil Pulling

Step One:
Measure out your desired amount - about 2 teaspoons to one tablespoon should be plenty - of your oil pulling product (see our recommendations below) and spoon it into your mouth but do not swallow.

Step Two:
Swish the oil around your entire mouth thoroughly - side to side and around the gums - as if you were rinsing with a mouthwash. Also be sure to force a bit of oil through the teeth in order to remove debris from between the teeth. If your mouth starts to feel too full from accumulation and froth, you can spit a small amount into a trashcan and then keep moving the remaining product around as before.

Step Three:
In the beginning, you can start with just five minutes of oil pulling, but then for added benefit you may want to work your way up to as long as 20 minutes.

Step Four:
Never swallow the oil following oil pulling. Once complete, you will want to spit any remaining oil into a trashcan. Rinsing into a sink is not recommended, as this may cause clogging or buildup in your sink. You can then rinse your mouth with fresh, clean water.
