Organic Infused Swishing Oil

Swishing, or oil pulling, is an ancient Ayurvedic mouthwash practice and an essential self-care technique to help heal, nurture, maintain and support good oral health naturally.

Swishing, or oil pulling, means to swish oil around your mouth and pull it through your teeth, over and over again, for up to 20 minutes, during which time the oil is gradually thinned by your saliva. As you swish, the oil detoxifies your mouth by ‘pulling’ bacteria, toxins, plaque, food debris and pathogens from all the surfaces of your mouth, and from in between those hard-to-reach places. Meanwhile, the physical action of swishing helps strengthen your teeth, gums, and jaw, improving skin elasticity and helping to prevent wrinkling around the mouth. As oil pulling stimulates the production of saliva and dental fluids, which are vital for the remineralisation of teeth and gums, oil pulling may also help prevent cavities.

• Swishing is a workout for your mouth that helps strengthen teeth, gums and jaw, and supports skin elasticity, which may help prevent wrinkling around the mouth.
• Oil pulling is a whole mouth detox that ‘pulls’ toxins, bacteria, plaque, pathogens, fungi and food debris from the mouth. When you swish the oil is pulled through your teeth, helping cleanse your mouth of unwanted build-up, freshening your mouth and breath.
• Oil pulling enhances gum health. It helps strengthen gums, and may help heal and/or prevent receding gums, and/or halt existing recession.
• Swishing is helpful in increasing saliva and dental fluid production, which is vital for the remineralisation of teeth and gums, and which in turn may help prevent cavities.
• Swishing may help reduce inflammation, and bring about improvements to conditions such as gingivitis.
• Swishing can help soothe teeth and gum pain.
• Swishing can help support the healing of infections.
• Swishing may help reduce feelings of dry mouth and throat.
• Swishing can be an effective mouthwash and flossing alternative.
• Oil pulling may help ease jaw tension.
• Oil pulling can help cleanse sinuses by stimulating lymphatic circulation, and easing congestion through the nasal and throat passages.
• Oil pulling has systemic health benefits. In Ayurveda, oil pulling is practised to ‘pull’ toxins from the mouth, thus preventing them from entering the bloodstream and supressing immune health, and is considered a curative practice for over 30 systemic diseases.

1. Shake well before each use.
2. Daily, on an empty stomach, preferably first thing in the morning after tongue cleaning, or alternatively, at least 2 hours after meals, using your We Love Organics Swishing Oil Spoon place approx. 3-6ml of our Organic Swishing Oil inside your mouth. You may notice a slight grittiness from the Activated Charcoal, this is normal. Discard any cinnamon pieces or clove buds that come out of the bottle when you pour.
3. Swish the oil around your mouth and pull the oil through your teeth, over and over again, for 5 minutes to start with, building up each day until you can comfortably swish for 15-20 minutes. For best results, it takes 15-20 minutes for the oil to fully dislodge and collect the bacteria from your mouth. Do not swish longer than 20 minutes. As you swish, your mouth will produce saliva that will blend with the oil, making it even easier to swish! Do not swallow your swishing oil.
4.  As you approach the 15–20-minute mark, spit your swishing oil out into your bin, rinse your mouth out with warm water, and brush your teeth with Teethpaste.

Further Tips for Successful Swishing

•  We suggest getting into the habit of practicing oil pulling at the same time each day. Pick a consistent part of your routine when you don’t need to talk, ideally first thing in the morning or otherwise two hours after a meal. This might be when you take a shower, prepare your breakfast, water the garden, hang out the laundry, etc.
• Time poor? Perhaps you take a shower every morning. If it takes you up to 5 minutes to get ready to shower, 10 minutes to shower, and up to 5 minutes to dry off, you could be oil pulling that whole time and meet your 15-20 minute a day goal – it’s that easy!
• Swish with gentle vigour, but not vigorously enough to cause your jaw to ache. It may feel uncomfortable to begin but when practiced regularly it becomes easier.
• For acute jaw, gum and/or tooth pain, swish 2-3 times per day, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and at least 2 hours after meals.
• Remember, oil pulling for even just 5 minutes a day is so much better for the longevity of your teeth and gums than not oil pulling at all!
