Oil Pulling - Newbie, Scared of my acne breakout and greasy hair!

Hi guys -

I have a couple questions on oil pulling, and curious if anyone is having a similar experience.

I began oil pulling about 7 days ago. Since then i have only missed 2 days. I've followed what seems to be the most consistant set of instructions: VCO Oil, a healthy amount, empty stomach, 20 minutes.

I've noticed that it definitely has pulled the mucus from my sinuses leaving me stuffy for a few days. My skin feels a lot softer without lotion, and I am looking forward to the benefits that will unfold over the long term.

However, there are some downsides so far. My face has exploded with acne, and my hair is SUPER oily. Trying not to let vanity get the best of me -- so i want to push through and hopefully get to the other side. Has any one experienced these 2 things and subsequently have they subsided? I simply can't live the rest of my life with my hair this greasy. But I'm willing to stick with it if it gets better. Thoughts? And is there anything i can do to lessen the symptoms of the Acne in the meantime? I was thinking maybe steaming my face or putting a hot damp towel?

Also - I am looking forward to some weight loss and reduced cravings via oil pulling. Do you think VCO is the right oil for this? And if I'm oil pulling is it too much to also consume some of the oil in a drink everyday?

Lastly, I've been doing a shot of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar everyday. Any thoughts on how this interacts with the OPing?

Looking forward to hearing responses!!!! Tweet
