Oil Pulling
Oil pulling is a simple morning habit: you swish a small amount of oil around your mouth for a while and then spit it out. The ritual comes from Ayurveda and is popular as an addition to brushing your teeth. At Boozyshop you'll find ready-to-use oil pulling mouth rinses, including ones with coconut oil, in fresh flavours such as mint, tea tree and orange. Read on to find out what oil pulling is, how to do it and which products are available.
Oil Pulling: Rinsing Your Mouth with Oil
What Is Oil Pulling?
With oil pulling you "pull" oil through your mouth: between your teeth, along your gums and over your tongue. It doesn't replace brushing; it's an extra step in your oral care. Read more about the background in our blog Oil Pulling: What is it and what are the benefits?.
Oil Pulling with Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is the best-known oil for oil pulling: it tastes mild and quickly turns liquid in your mouth. You can use a spoonful of pure coconut oil, but a ready-to-use oil pulling mouth rinse is more convenient: it's already liquid, easy to measure and has a fresh flavour that makes rinsing more pleasant. All oil pulling products at Boozyshop contain coconut oil. The Coco Munt Oil Pulling Mouth Rinse from Pullpy is made with virgin coconut oil and mint; Georganics and Clearsmile combine coconut oil with sunflower oil and essential oils.
How Do You Do Oil Pulling?
- Take a small amount: usually about a tablespoon, or the amount stated on the packaging.
- Rinse slowly: move the oil gently around your mouth and between your teeth. Start with a few minutes and build up to the time the product recommends.
- Spit it into the bin: not the sink, as oil can clog your drain. Don't swallow the oil.
- Brush your teeth afterwards: oil pulling is done before brushing, ideally in the morning. Rinse your mouth with water and brush as usual.
