 How to do the oil pulling?

Sesame oil eliminates viruses and inflammation, and because of that, it�s mostly used for providing anti-bacterial properties. But, coconut oil is as good as the sesame oil.

Each morning, on an empty stomach, take 1 tsp. of sesame oil (or coconut oil) and put it in your mouth to melt. Then, swish it for about 20 seconds and spit it. Do not swallow it since the oil is going to be full of bacteria afterward. At the end, rinse the mouth with some water and brush your teeth.
