Re: Black seed oil pulling

Yes, I have. Oil pulling has been practiced to "pull" toxins out of the body orally and commonly practiced in Ayurveda for centuries. Oil pulling is traditionally done with sunflower, coconut, sesame, olive, any other oils with known antibacterial properties, but in their books about black seed and its curative benefits, Sylvia Luejohann (1998) and Doctors Schleicher and Saleh (2000) suggest pulling with black seed oil.

What most people fail to realize is bacteria and infection often enter our bloodstream through our mouths. Oral infections can also lead to inflammation of the body and heart, causing numerous aliments, even cardiac arrest.

Gum issues run in my family, so I do this to ward off oral infections and overall improvement of health. I believe it has been beneficial for me, and my teeth have never been whiter! I did get light headed the first time I pulled, but it was probably because of the toxins being expelled from my body. It's important to rinse the mouth out thoroughly after oil pulling and NEVER swallow the oil!

I'm sure there's credible information on oil pulling out there, but as I stated, I learned about oil pulling from my readings, so I don't have any links. As I always recommend, do your due diligence before starting any health regimen. Tweet
