Coconut Oil Pulling – Why you should pay attention to what the “Wise Ones” in India do Almost Every Day
Coconut oil pulling is an Ayurveda practice! Ayurveda is considered the first system of traditional medicine to use dental care as a specialized branch. Yes, ancient India’s dentistry, part of Shalakya Tantra (system of surgery) allowed balancing for deformities in oral cavities, plaques, and infections were treated by Ayurvedic doctors long ago. Ancient text describes various chewing sticks, oral processes, and mantras with that may balance systemic diseases.
Why should you pay attention? Because Jesus did. So did Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. Yes, many who practiced the art of medicine or founders of many organizations and movements listened to the wise ones in and from India.
In fact,
Columbus wanted to find a new route to India, China, Japan and the Spice Islands. If he could reach these lands, he would be able to bring back rich cargoes of silks and spices.
Did you Know what he was looking for when?
Aristocratic admiral Edmond Slade provided the finances for Gandhi’s training in London.
Each of these regions has exquiste knowledge of wellness, medicine, and wholistic practices.
Yes as per historical records, sources and mythology Jesus Christ did visit
India and had a brief meeting and discussion with Maharaja Dhruv.

Mecca was a pilgrimage site for Hindus who would visit it often.
Great leaders -Peace be upon them all – listened to and backed the “wise ones”: in British India.

What is coconut oil pulling?
How to begin this practice for yourself, and hints!
This system is known as oil pulling, and it is one of the most independently researched treatments in Indian medical journals.
How to “Oil Pull”
Exactly how do you perform coconut oil pulling?
Here’s the recipe and method you can follow:
Supplies:
One tablespoon of cold pressed (virgin or raw) organic coconut oil or other carrier oil (refer to the hints section below).
Method:
On an empty stomach (prior to breakfast) take one tablespoon of oil into the mouth, but do not swallow it.
Move the coconut oil slowly in the mouth then begin rinsing, swishing, sipping, sucking and pulling through the teeth.
Practice this for fifteen to twenty minutes
Expel:
Spit the oil into a toilet or garbage bin, but not the sink as it can solidify in the drain. Thoroughly rinse the oral cavity with water. Brush with fluoride-free toothpaste, followed by scraping the tongue.
Hints:
Many advocates of Oil Pulling suggest Safflower, Sunflower or Vegetable oil; but more and more studies (and successes) are finding higher quality oils are more effective. The anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties of whole, extra-virgin coconut oil makes it the perfect choice for Oil Pulling.
This process thoroughly mixes the oils with saliva. Swishing activates the enzymes and the enzymes draw toxins out of the blood. The oil must not be swallowed, for it has become toxic. As the process continues, the oil gets thinner and turns white. This has, in effect, pulled toxins and poisons out through the mucous membranes of the mouth.
It is important to understand that during the Oil Pulling process, one’s metabolism is intensified which leads to improved health. For many, the most striking results of this process is the fastening of loose teeth, the healing of sores, the elimination of bleeding gums and the visible whitening of the teeth.
The Oil Pulling/swishing procedure is best done prior to breakfast. However, to accelerate the healing process, it can be repeated three times a day; but it is always best to do before meals and on an empty stomach.
Why do you want to begin this practice you ask?
-
Salivary bacteriaA 2022 meta-analysis found that oil pulling reduced the number of bacteria in saliva compared to control groups.
-
Gum healthA 2023 systematic review found that oil pulling may improve gum health.
-
Streptococcus mutansA 2023 systematic review found that oil pulling may reduce the level of Streptococcus mutans bacteria in the mouth.
-
PlaqueA study found that oil pulling decreased mean plaque scores over time, compared to a control group.
-
SwallowingSwallowing oil can cause an upset stomach.
-
Clogged drainsBecause coconut oil solidifies at room temperature, spitting it into a sink can cause a clogged drain.
There are claims that this treatment has achieved remarkable results with illnesses such as: migraine headaches, bronchitis, diseased teeth, arterial thrombosis, chronic blood disorders such as leukemia, arthritis and related illnesses, neuro-physiological paralysis, eczema, gastroenteritis, peritonitis, heart disease, kidney disease, meningitis, and women’s hormonal disorders.
These conditions and symptoms are completely eliminated from individuals who practice coconut oil pulling.

Constipation – Piles-“With Oil Pulling Health Is Great Wealth”
I have been practicing oil pulling for the last one year with Til (gingelly -sesame) oil for fifteen to twenty minutes daily in the morning without fail. I am 82 years old. I have been suffering from constipation and piles for the last four decades. I consulted many doctors, used many medicines but with only temporary relief.
Within two weeks of practicing oil pulling, I started getting relief. There was no pain during motion. Inflammation and piles decreased. I started having free and clear evacuation. I am sleeping peacefully and happily at night. Indigestion, lack of appetite has gone. Decades old pain has gone just by doing OP with gingelly (sesame) oil. Our Ayurvedic treatment is a comprehensive solution for all diseases. It is good for all to practice. -“With Oil Pulling Health Is Great Wealth”.
– Padma Bhusan Sri Kalogi Narayana Rao, People’s Poet, Tirupathi, A.P
Diabetes – Pregnancy – Child birth
My age is 41 years. I am a diabetic patient with no children. After doing oil pulling for three months, I became pregnant. At the time of pregnancy, my blood sugar increased. I stopped oil pulling for about a month thinking it was aggravating my problem. Having come to know that aggravation is a sign of cure, I started oil pulling again. The sugar level came down and I continued oil pulling throughout my pregnancy. After a caesarian operation, I gave birth to a baby. The doctors checked for sugar, both for the baby and me. We both were free from sugar. The wound healed well and stitches removed on the seventh day. Doctor was astonished at this.
I found oil pulling benefited me in the following ways:
I weigh 90 Kgs. height 4’11” with weak twisted foot. By walking, the foot used to become septic and pus used to ooze. By oil pulling and walking daily, I became strong and was able to walk up the steps without difficulty.
Oil pulling reduced sugar gradually and diabetes cured. The skin became clear and shining and the spots on the body disappeared.
The body became strong, teeth firm; gums healthy and the hair turned black and stopped becoming white or gray.

Diabetes
At the advanced age of 74, it is unjust to expect miraculous result from any kind of therapy. Yet I must say that what I have experienced through oil pulling therapy is almost a miracle and quite unbelievable.
Diabetes has been troubling me for the past 13 years. Now my blood sugar level is normal, though I do not take any medicine. I have discontinued all medication including vitamins, enzymes etc.
– Swami Swarupanand Bharati, (K.R.K.Chetty,IPS,D.I.G.(Retd)
