Try moving the oil as slowly as you can around in your mouth -- swishing it around to all areas of your mouth like it was water. If your cheeks tire, you are putting too much energy into it. It seems like when I swish the oil, it is my tongue that is in slow motion.

Hope this helps.

It's not an olympic event!!

Take it easy. Gently swish around your tongue and pull in and out through your teeth.

It shouldn't make anything sore unless you're going for facial exercise with it!!
