We all know that tooth is one of the most important parts of the body. But do we know how sensitive they are? Yes and the taking care of your teeth is also a sensitive thing. There is a lot of must do and must not do in this case. There are numerous tooth care products available in shops. The question is how safe actually they are?
Teeth are not only the tough part of your mouth that helps to grind food. It has deep rooted connection with your brain and therefore your eyesight. So any one can not afford to be reckless about taking care of teeth. Most of the artificial tooth care products have proven more or less fatal to the teeth health. So we once again move towards our mother nature for the ultimate solution.
Today I will discuss one of the oldest techniques of cleaning tooth and the whole mouth in-fact. This method was practiced by Hindu monks in ancient India. This is an ayurvedic technique which is now well known to us as ‘Oil Pulling’.
It is a process where you will take a good amount of vegetable oil in your mouth, keep it and move it through your mouth for a while and then throw it away. Through this process, the oil will eventually move through the mouth, the teeth gaps and everywhere to pull the germs and bacteria’s from the teeth. For this method, coconut oil will be the ideal vegetable oil. Because coconut oil is rich and it has a good healing ability. Also it is easily available.
First, take 2 or 3 tablespoons of coconut oil in your mouth. If it is winter and the fluid is thick, try to guess same amount by taking a lump of thick oil. This must be the first thing you will do after you wake up. Do not eat or drink anything before that. It will help you in controlling your wish to spit a lot. Take the oil in your mouth and start to move the fluid through your mouth. Make sure the fluidl touches every part of your mouth. Do not spit. Do not swallow the fluid. Because it will be full of bacteria and other germs! Keep doing this for 20-30 minutes.
The more you can hold, the better the result will be. After that time, throw out the fluid and rinse the mouth and insides with mild warm water. Make sure the last bit of fluid is gone. Now you may like to brush your teeth. Use mild and natural toothpaste. Avoid chemical based ones. Use a special tooth brush for this when you do brushing after the oil pull. Do not use it in other times.
This is a very effective way to take care of your teeth mouth. It cleans the germs while the oil is also does some healing. Lot of people who really cares about their body parts, are gradually forsaking the chemical based toothpastes and other mouth care products and moving towards natural solutions. Because natural solutions has no side effects but all the positive aspects.
