Health Benefits of Oil Pulling
91What the Heck is Oil Pulling and Will it Pull Toxins from the Body?
O.K. this health practice seems a little strange at the outset. But many of its adherents make extravagant claims for it.
A Ukrainian physician, Dr F. Karach, presented what he called a remarkable treatment at a conference of the all Ukranische-Union of the Oncologists (specialists for tumor diseases) and Bacteriologists, a part of the Academy of Sciences of UDSSR. His talk involved a super simple healing process for the human body which he called Oil Pulling and which he said involved sunflower oil.
Per Dr. Karach the results are astonishing and thus fraught with skepticism, but by experimenting with the oil therapy everybody can see the results in his own body and become convinced.
It is more than surprising that with this totally harmless biological healing method one could achieve such success and healting results. It is hard to find anything to compare to it, says Dr. Karach, and he says further that most illnesses could be cured by this simple method without resorting to surgeries and prescription drugs. Dr. Karach even says it effects the duration of life with current man living only half of the time he could live. With this technique he could become 140 or 150 years old the Dr. says.
So how do you do it?: O.K. here it is:
In the morning before breakfast on an empty stomach you take one tablespoon in the mouth but do not swallow it. Move Oil Slowly in the mouth as rinsing or swishing and Dr Karach puts it as ' sip, suck and pull through the teeth' for fifteen to twenty minutes. This process makes the oil to be thoroughly mixed 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 white. If the oil is still yellow, it has not been pulled long enough. It is then spit from the mouth , the oral cavity must be thoroughly rinsed and mouth must be washed thoroughly. Just use normal tap water or any mouth wash.
This has in effect pulled toxins and poisons out through the mucous membranes of the mouth to be expelled down the drain.
It is important to understand that during the oil-pulling/swishing process one's metabolism is intensified. This leads to improved health. One of the most striking results of this process is the fastening of loose teeth, the elimination of bleeding gums and the visible whitening of the teeth.
The oil pulling /swishing is done best before breakfast. To accelerate the healing process, it can be repeated three times a day, but always before meals on an empty stomach.
Do not swallow. The oil should be spat out. But inadvertently if you swallow there is nothing to worry. It will go out through normal digestive process with no harm. Nothing is to be done.
If you are allergic to a particular brand of oil, change the brand of oil or oil itself to different oil. Sunflower and Sesame oil have been found to be equally effective in curing diseases. Other oils were not found to be as good, but could be used, for example peanut oil. Do not use unrefined oils.
According to Dr. Kurich, that this treatment will achieve remarkable results with illnesses like migraine headaches, bronchitis, diseased teeth, arterio thrombosis, chronic blood disorders such as leukemia, arthritis and related illnesses, neuro physiological paralysis, eczema, gastro enteritis, peritonitis, heart disease, kidney disease, meningitis, and women’s hormonal disorders are completely eliminated from the organism. The benefit of Dr. Karach's method is that the oil therapy heals the whole body in perpetuity. In terminal diseases such as cancer, aids and chronic infections this treatment method has been shown to achieve astonishing results.
My own skeptical results in trying this technique are here provided. I found sunflower oil at a health food store. I couldn't find it in ordinary supermarkets like WalMart. When I wasn't expecting to talk for about 15 minutes I half filled a shot glass which is about two tablespoons full, dunked it my mouth and started the swishing (while doing something at the computer). It is thick at first and you slowly work on it, back and forth, front and back, and through the teeth. The viscosity at first gives your gums a real massage and you feel it is strengthening them against gum desease, and the thick oil cleans between the teeth and below the gum lines and for any small particals that the tooth brush will not go to. Getting toward 10 minutes the oil starts to thin, perhaps from the breakdown of salava and its warming, and this is when it is supposed to have pulled toxins from the indocrines and other glands through the blood stream. When it is very thin after about 15 minutes you spit it out into a washroom sink or the commode. It will be white. Then wash the mouth out to get rid of the residue white stuff and supposed toxins in the mouth. A side benefit is that the mouth doesn't get as dry while asleep. And I found some benefits right off such as sleeping better and waking more alert. One of the problems is that you tend to forget doing it or you put it off. I tend to think it might be helpful if nothing else by absorbing some healthful refined vegetable oil. I want to keep doing it and keep up with others doing it. The internet has some souces that will provide new findings on this technique. It is likely worth watching.

Thanks for your comments. I myself felt the same benefits but have been lazy and not been doing this technique faithfully. It takes some discipline to do it just as with everything. I am going to try doing it once a day. I think it is best to do it between meals on a fairly empty stomach. But what if this would remove toxins from the body and would improve life expectancy to 150 years? I hope enough people try this for it to stimulate some large numbers doing it so enough users for testing will be available. What I recall is waking up clearer headed.
I read about oil pulling around two months ago and began doing this. It's amazing. Perfect in place of yukky tasing mouthwashes...lol Leaves the mouth clean and fresh for hours. I had been losing quite a bit of hair when brushing and this has stopped now. My hair much shinier and thicker. Just feel really good.
I do take nutrient dense supplements also and am a rep for a company that sells supplements, however, since beginning the oil pulling...I use coconut oil, have noticed even more differences in my overall well being.
My daughter is doing this with sunflower oil and really feels it's of benefit also.
Was happpy to see someone else posting about this!
To Janice: I would be interested in hearing how the ringing in the ears is going for you Janice. I am having the same thing, and I also have polycythemia vera (which contributes to ringing). I just read yesterday about this pulling and wonder if it will help me. Please feel free to write to me anyone who feels like sharing direct.

Does anyone know if oil pulling will take prescription medecine out of your system? If you are taking medicine for High blood pressure or thyroid, does this remove the medecine and adversely affect you?

has anyone tried using hemp oil?
I was diagnosised with sarcoidosis (lung desease with no known cure) in 1993. I have been on steroid (predisone) treatment 3 times over the last 15 years and antibiotics numerous time for infections of the lungs. I was always experiencing this heavy pressure in the chest area and it felt like my lungs were expanding. My doctor could not explain this phenom. I also developed and acne condition because of excess oil secreation.March 3, 2008 I felt like I was getting an infection again, and decide to once again surf the net for alternative medicine. I was directed to earthclinic and came across OP. I started OPing March 9th and I haven't felt this good in 15 years. The heaviness in my chest is gone and I am breathing better. My acne condition also cleared up. I have yeary x-rays in September to monitor my lung condition. I can't wait to see how my lung look this September. I am using sesame oil.....TJ in AZ
I have just started trying oil pulling using refined seasme oil. Brushing your mouth out after swishing with a small amount of Ivory bar soap on a soft brush should clean it up. The soap is tasteless with high pH. Spit used oil into paper cup, not sink. Spit out soap rinse into toilet, always spit into toilet not sink.
i have been bleeding for many years when i brush my theeth, i star using sesame oil pulling and less then two weeks my bleeding is gone.
Thank you for this blog and thanks to all of you for sharing your OP success stories, I'm on my way out to buy a bottle of oil now. Excellent health to all of us!!
There's a new book out on oil pulling titled "Oil Pulling Therapy" by Dr. Bruce Fife. It contains a lot of interesting information about oil pulling and debunks a lot of myths. One of the fascinating features about the book is how he gives a sound scientific explaination as to how oil pulling works and backs it up with medical studies.
I discovered an abscess this past Sunday (9/14/08), I had used Coconut oil for other home remedies, including taking a spoonful a day for internal healing. Panikingly I tried anything I could think of, it was swelling rapidilly. I couldn’t find a dentist on Sunday, as I was frantically trying anything I could think of to reverse the swelling, I was praying for an answer just after rinsing with hot salt water. The coconut oil was in reach, I took a coconut oil Q-tip, gently dapped the blood-red area, immediately blood gently oozed down on my tooth. I felt relief immediately. So I took a mouthful of coconut oil, started searching on line for a natural cure for an abscess, and oil pulling came up, one of the recommended oil was coconut. I was amazed that I had stumbled on this, by the Grace of God! This abscess moved around by this morning I had another large swollen area that has now diminished. It would appear that I over did the oil pulling, since I have had oil in my mouth countless times during the day, but now the swelling is almost gone and my mouth feels healthier already. This is miraculous!
But where did the abscess go?
I have heard horror stories of people who had an abscess that was fatal.
Is there a danger of this poison staying in my system?
I really don’t think that would be possible, since the purpose of oil pulling is removing toxins from the body. Still I would like to hear back from you concerning this and the other benefits of oil pulling.
Thank you,
JoAnn

I had listened to a lecture some 15 years ago about OP, and even tried it for a few days and gave up. I was young and restless and wanted to see immediate results. But now I am older and more matured and patient and one day I saw this advertisement of Seaame oil in which they were talking about oil pulling. It immedietely led me to rediscover it in detail through the internet, and from that time i have been doing it regularly 3 times a day. It is now almost a month, I always had lots of acne, and i see it getting more, but i have been toldit must be because of hormones, and that there is no cure, other than just using some creams and gels whenever they come. I am also into home remidies and sometimes everything helps and sometimes nothing works.These pimples leave pigmentation marks on my face. Anyway since nothing seems to help I thought i wae not going to lose anything by doing this Op.
Another thing why I like doing it 3 times is that it keeps a check on what i eat too, for i can't keep eating anything all the time , for i have to maintain the 4 hours break after ecah meal, ie., Breakfast lunch and dinner, and i usually have dinner before 7.So I do once before breakfast, before lunch and before dinner. I don't think it has made any difference in the amount I eat ( for i just eat enough to feel full), but it has helped in my not being tempted to eat in between meals. So I think it is a great boon for people who want to lose weight for they become very diciplened and committed.
I am well aware of the the conditions getting agravated and I am willing to wait to see the results. I think one should not use any other oil other than what is prescribed, and i have always felt comfortable with sesame oil as it iis very much part of our life in Southern parts of india. It is a great oil, and of course sunflower oil tooo is good. i cant understand why people would go to the lengths of trying castor oil, coconut oil etc.
Well if I see any postive results i would definitely share with all of you. Bye and take care and don't stop OP, regularly.
I've been oil pulling for about two months. As many have reported, my teeth are whiter, my gums and tongue are a 'healthy' looking pink color. The nasty side effects I had from a steroid medication (prednisone) including acne, extreme joint pain :(, tiredness, thining hair and itching are 99.9% gone. I'm grateful!! As Rama mentioned above, since I oil pull 2-3 times a day, I don't eat between meals, I have a cup of herbal green tea or some other drink instead, and my last big meal at night is eaten before 8:00 p.m., so I've lost weight. People who haven't seen me for a while tell me how great I look and how beautiful my skin is(all because of the oil pulling)!
i just started oil pulling yesterday...it was easy and i am looking forward to improved oral health ...i have an area in my mouth that bleeds and the gum is swollen and discolored and also a ganglion cyst on my lleft wrist that i have had surgery on about 5 times...if anyone has had success with a cyst dissolving i would love to hear about it...i keep my han covered and its been years...i would love to wear a short sleeve shirt and not have material wraped around my wrist...contact ...thgilnus4@hotmail.com
Oil pulling is an age old indian tradition - granny's home medicine. As a practioner of various of forms of paranormal healing, i took to oil pulling some days ago - the best indication i get is in my urine - crystal clear as water and no odour. Certainly this is flushing out the toxins in a better way and is a sure and easiest method to good health.
Happy oil pulling
I'm a 41 year-old male, 5' 9", 195 lbs. I have some receding gums and a small pocket in one of my teeth near the gumline. Other than that and the weight I'd like to lose, I'm pretty healthy.
My goal is to be down to 170lbs by June 1st of this year. I'm eating better lately, but what I've noticed is that when I OP every morning, my body just feels good and it wants healthy foods. When I ran out of oil, I felt I needed to work harder at eating better.
The second thing I've noticed after a few DAYS of OP, is that my teeth are whiter.
I'm writing this to let you know that I just bought I new bottle of Sesame oil today and it will last me exactly 32 days, as I will OP once daily upon waking up.
At the end of that time, I will report my experience you. Until next time...

The second thing I've noticed after a few DAYS of OP, is that my teeth got whiter. I've spent money in the past on oxygenation gel to whiten my teeth but now that is no longer necessary.

Well, nothing too dramatic to report. I'd say my experience for a month straight has been good but the same as what I reported in my previoius post:
Whiter teeth and an over sense of physical well-being.
GOOD LUCK!
Hi, I tried OP for 2 weeks and my gum disease is gone, 2 of my teeth got infected and usually have mucus, but they are healed now. My indurance lasts longer, I sleep so well and my skin looks much better, before I usually looked so pale because of my ovarial cancer which already spread in the blood flow.
Thank God for showing me this way of natural treatment. I always suspect the chemical drugs, so I really appreciate those who spread this OP around especially to help those who don't have money and health insurance, but health condition is not good.
Hello, I have a question. I've only been oil pulling a few times and not consistantly but I've noticed a sequence of events that seems quite odd to me and I need some educated advice. I'm pregnant and very excited about it. I've read a few comments that say it's ok to op while I'm expecting and nothing that says I shouldn't. Anyone know any different?Also I wonder if anyone has noticed that your urine has a cloudy and slightly darker color to it since op? I've read just the opposite that some folks urine is clearer but not any thats slightly darker and cloudy. I wonder if my body is telling me that this is not good for me --right now-- at this time while carring and making a baby. Or is it saying just the opposite, that these are the toxins getting out of my body. Anyone knowledgable on this specific subject, I'm all ears? You know I'd never want to do anything to hurt our precious little one. Thanks for your help.

I been oil pulling for the last 2 1/2 months and my energy level is just unbelievable.
Mary what kind of oil are you using and how often a day? Any other bennies than energy level?
hi,just now i have come across this site its amazing let me try then i will comment
I am suffering from nervous disorder, type of cerebellar ataxia or a gait disturbance. I have learned lot about oil pulling. having good results in three days. I feel good within my body. Can any one tell whether it will be beneficial to continue Oil Pulling.
oil pulling is phenomenal! For years I was battling an infection in my jaw that caused me to have two root canals and endless sinus issues .It was traced to a cavitation I had in my jaw which kept me at a low level of energy for years .Eventually after try so many different therapies and antibiotics etc, a Doctor practicing oriental medication introduced oil pulling to me ,,,thank god! I started pulling and then four days into it started oozing a putrid substance from between my four upper left back teeth. I continued with the therapy believing that if the unmentionable substance continued to leave my body it could only be helping so I did it up to three times a day. On the fortyfifth day of oil pulling I experienced what was to be the last purge of necrotic tissue followed by a complete turn around in my health which was nothing short of miraculous.
hi i m back with the good results.it is really working i am using sun flower oil but i can do oil pulling just for 2-3 minutes not more than that and i do twice a day i feel very good and energetic the whole day i had a very bad ache in my right leg and after doing oil pulling it vanished secondly i had some kind of stiff skin just below my shoulder bone 50% its gone after doing this thirdly i had pigmentation on my forehead and on my cheeks they are half cured and just only just doing oil pulling for 2-3 minutes its amazing my sister in law and my niece came to me and they were shocked to see my face now my husband and my daughter and my son all of us are doing this they are also getting good results
I have been oil pulling for two weeks. I have had wonderful results. Had a very lose tooth have not been able to chew on it in a year..it is tightened up and becoming useful. Oil Pulling also brings hope of a better future...maybe with little need of doctors and their high fees.
Steve
I've been oil pulling almost a year already. But I am currently pregnant and I stopped because I don't know if it has a not nice effect on the baby. Please advice!
thanks for your information....from tomorrow onwards i will start oil pulling....
One of my parents have been oil pulling every day for the past approx. 4-5 months. He had a tumor/infection in his cheek, and had a small 'hole' in his cheek. When I saw him again, I was amazed at his transformation. The 'hole' had completely gone and he had lost weight, he looked much healthier and said he felt better than he ever has in a long time. He credits it to oil pulling, amongst other natural things he is taking. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I have been OP'ing for a few days and already my teeth don't bleed whenever I brushed them or even spontaneously like they used to. I use sunflower oil and find it really good to use. Cheers you can email with any questions helen.amber@ymail.com
Hi MEMBERS AND GUESTS
Im using the technique with sesame oil for 3 days and i think that the oil is absorbed by the skin in the mouth and invades the blood circulation. As the micro organisms dont like sesame oil the effect is a general cleansing, not a miracle, but a staged evolution to a better life style :) jmvns1@gmail.com At your service.

My oldest daughter has been oil pulling for about three months now. I hadn't seen her for a while so I stopped by her home just to chat. As I sat across the table from her I began to ask my self, "What is so different about Wendy?" At closer observation I saw that her skin and her hair looked so HEALTHY and youthful and she seemed to have an unusally possative outlook on life. (She has had some very stressful issues to deal with) I couldn't remain silent! I said "WENDY, WHAT are you doing different?" She smiled and asked me why I wanted to know? I told her I could see a difference in her skin and her hair immediately. and her teeth were nice and white (she smokes and drinks tea and coffee) ...... and, well, she seemed to be peaceful, almost joyful. She went and got her laptop computer and took me to Doctor K's web page. ......... WOW! I couldn't wait to find some oil to start pulling for myself!. I've just started on my second week. I have noticed that I am sleeping so much sounder and my energy level has greatly increased! I can also atest to an elevated mood change which I love! I am 68 years old and have been in good health most of my life. I have hearing loss and ringing in my ears. Also I expierience virtego. I hope to report an improvement .. .. I feel something wonderful from deep within me. I intend to continue as long as I see such posative results
