I used coconut oil instead because I know it has antibacterial/viral properties. I swished for about ten minutes. My facial muscles got a workout! Anyway, my gums are white which is pretty strange but my teeth feel good. I got a burst of energy too while doing it. However, I do have a little pain in my underarms and the side of my right breast. Hmmm.... I wonder if swishing while rebounding would help move the lymph along. I will swish again tomorrow morning with CO. It's a little thick but I don't care.
