Oil Pulling Mouthwash - The Dirt

not worth

When I looked into oil pulling for your teeth, I was a bit skeptical. However, I do know the many benefits of MCT oil, as well as coconut oil, so I though why not at least try it?! So, when I came across this product, I thought maybe it was too good to be right, but I was wrong. This stuff really does help the overall health of not only your gums, but of your teeth, tongue & even your breath (at least it feels as if it does—I’m no dentist) Idid get a little too much my first use and it foamed up and became a bit much to bear, but I spit a little out and kept going for my full 20 minutes and I was SO IMPRESSED! I have my husband obsessed with this too. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to not using this. It has incredible, high quality ingredients that work and my mouth has never felt better!

That comes to over $1.18 per oil-pull, before tax. I didn't measure each time, I just swigged from the bottle. (I've been oil pulling off and on for about 8 years.) After using this for a little over half a month (some mornings I don't feel like oil pulling) I can't say I'm completely wowed. The taste is manageable though I will admit once it starts to build up in your mouth from 20 minutes of pulling, it tends to make me gag a bit. Otherwise the flavors are fine. I can see why people would be put off by the yellow color. Turmeric is supposed to whiten teeth. I'm not sure my teeth and any whiter or my gums any healthier as I had no real before or after measure. All in all, this is a fine oil for pulling, but I don't think it's worth repeatedly spending $19 plus tax when there are other comparable options out there. A $6 jar of virgin coconut oil lasts way longer and gets the job done just as well. I may go back to trying the Sesame oil blend I used to use that comes with a measuring cup and complimentary tongue scraper, as it's good for the cooler months when coconut oil stiffens. (Who enjoys putting a glob in their mouth and waiting for it to melt? Not always fun for me... blech). Honestly I think I liked the size of the bottle most about this oil, and the fact that it didn't leak oil all over the place, but for the size and amount of uses, it should be half the price. If my toothpaste were to cost over a dollar per use, it better miraculously heal and regrown my teeth, you know? If my body soap cost over a dollar per use it better restore my skin to its youthful glow and erase all my imperfections. So far, I haven't seen any results warranting the over-a-dollar cost per use on this oil.

This is fabulous. I've never been able to to oil pulling, mostly because I want to gag not even halfway through. The natural flavors in this allow me to swish the whole 20 minutes, and I can't tell you how important to oral health oil pulling is, especially if you're a naturopath and don't like chemicals and toxins in your personal care products. Leaves my mouth so clean and fresh that if I use it for oil pulling before bed, I don't wake up with a pasty mouth or morning breath. As a regular mouth wash, swishing for a few minutes does the trick, but the real value in this is for oil pulling. Already recommended it to friends and will absolutely buy this again once I run out.

I’m no dr. and of course am not making a medical claim...just sharing my experience. I’ve read multiple times how beneficial oil pulling can be and how many toxins and bacteria it can pull from your mouth. Well, I had a sore throat and figured I’d give this a try juuuust to see what would happen. Low and behold the next morning I woke up with no sore throat. It also soothed my throat after i was done. I’ve done this multiple times with this and it has helped every single time!🙌🏻 10/10 would recommend for general use and if you find yourself in my situation, give it a try and see if it has the same outcome for you!

Ok this stuff is AMAZING. My mouth is happy. I deal with inflammation and sensitivity with hormonal changes throughout the month. I also suffer from G.E.R.D. & wear a guard at night because of grinding and have had a lot of dental work in my past because of those issues. Since using this product my teeth are whiter, gums are less inflamed, I’m producing more saliva and sensitivity has not been an issue. I use this product every night for about 5-15 minutes before bed and after using a waterpik then sonicare toothbrush with hello brand toothpaste.
