3.How to remove toxins from the organism with tablespoons of oil

Extremely simple and effective methods of prevention and treatment with the help of oil after thousands of years arouses interest of the profession and the public.

This is a method-based on Ayurvedic medicine, described in ancient Indian scriptures.

The Sanskrit word Ayurveda translates as'' the science of life and longevity''.

The 5000 year old traditional Indian system of healing has proven many times in practice and there is no doubt that it is indeed worth your attention.

According to Ayurveda, our health depends on the balance of the three doshas - psychophysiological energies that manage our mind, spirit and body.

If one of the of the doshas is not in balance, occurs disease. Many times to disorders of the doshas is due deposition ame (toxins) in the body.

Ayurveda recommends several methods of cleansing the body of ama, and one of them is Oil pulling.

In this method, the removal of toxic substances (AME) of the body, is achieved by shaking daily sunflower or sesame seed oil in the mouth.

Oil after that do not swallow it, but spit it out and rinse your mouth well.

Such a method allows the organism to fight the disease, with no unwanted side effects using conventional medicaments.

How to shake oil

Oil therapy is performed only with cold-pressed and unrefined oils.
It is recommended to use sunflower or sesame oil, but judging by the numerous testimonies of practice, you can also use olive or any other cold-pressed and unrefined oils.

Also, for the purpose of increased activity,to the basic oil you choose for shaking, you can add a few drops of medicinal herbs, depending on the type of disease.

Add lavender oil to calm and relax, rosemary for better circulation, chamomile for infection or anise to purify the respiratory organs.

Treat on an empty stomach, by taking into the mouth one tablespoon of oil and then slowly shake through the mouth for 15 to 20 minutes

Since oil during this process, absorbs harmful substances and toxins, do not swallow it.

During the shaking, you will produce a lot of saliva, so the total content of the oral cavity increase. If it is overflowing, before the expiration of the recommended time you can spit out the excess.

In any case, spit out after 15 or 20 minutes.

Oil therapy whitens and strengthens teeth, stops bleeding from gums and helps in periodontal disease.

Secret efficacy of this method is that during the shaking, all six liters of blood flows through the salivary glands and in this way the organism is released of harmful substances. With the help of oil, we will suck out the toxins from the organism.
