hi in this video I want to talk to you about a
tremendous health practice known as oil pulling and it's better than teeth flossing in many many
ways hi I'm Dr Joe with two minutes to better health well this has been used for thousands
of years in Ayurvedic medicine and now it's used in our culture for those that know it and
I believe that most people that do know it they don't actually apply this but if they did it would
have tremendous benefits to their oral hygiene as well as other health benefits so let's find out
a little bit more about this so what is it first of all you have to understand that it's a simple
process you put oil in your mouth you chew it you slosh it around your mouth for minutes at a time
and these are the benefits that will come from it it's that simple kills harmful bacteria there's
over 700 bacteria that can be found in the mouth at any given period of time and upwards of 350
to 400 of them can be easily handled by using this simple process and I believe there's one type
of oil which we'll talk about in a moment that is by far the best to use for this procedure helps
reduce bad breath well ultimately by controlling the bacteria growth the bad stuff in your mouth
bad breath will be helped tremendously by this helps prevent cavities same thing bad bacteria
in the mouth then ultimately you can help prevent cavity growth healthier gums gingivitis same
thing inflammation is controlled in many ways by controlling the bad bacteria there's good bacteria
in the mouth as well but by controlling that will help to prevent gingivitis from spreading reduces
inflammation not just in the mouth but in other parts of the body because as you'll see in a
moment it has detoxifying effects soothe a sore throat so when you do this you're going to chew
this and slosh around in your mouth but as you gargle it it'll get into the back of the throat
as well the benefits are far beyond the mouth whitens teeth tremendous benefits with
this especially with a specific type of oil I believe coconut oil is by far the best
cracked lips because it is going to get onto the into the mouth and into the lips area and there's
certain nutrients that are going to be helped to be replenished by certain oils that have vitamins
and minerals in them as well detoxification so this is huge oral detoxification is a big
thing a lot of the the stuff that we ingest into our bodies goes directly into the mouth goes into
the thyroid into the digestive tract but as you clean up what's going on in the mouth in many ways
you're going to detoxify the whole body especially for people that have heavy metals in their mouth
still and a lot of metals from other appliances and stuff this is a huge practice because that
stuff doesn't stay inert in your mouth it does get into the tissues the more you can pull it out the
healthier you will be and many many more things that are you know supported by this there's been
research that shows that it helps with things as far as like heart disease and preventing cancer
and all the different body systems supported Ayurvedic medicine done a lot more research
especially anecdotal evidence on this so look it up yourself how to do it very simple one
tablespoon oil coconut sesame olive put it in the mouth coconut oil will be solid at first and chew
it it's actually like a chewing process because they do talk about just swishing it around but
at first chew it and that's going to help release enzymes from your mouth which helps to enhance the
quality of this process and do it for upwards of 10 to 20 minutes you won't start there but if you
can build up to that that would be a tremendous health benefit from it spit it in the garbage when
you're done not in the sink not in the toilet it will clog things it's not good tons of bacteria
in that as well you don't want that in there rinse with water and preferably salt water afterwards
to definitely clean all that out of your mouth get all those toxins out and repeat three to
five times per week okay it's tremendous health practice or upwards of three times per day if
needed if you have a lot of oral health issues so definitely try to utilize this share with friends
and other people that have never heard of it and more importantly leave a note to remind yourself
or leave the oil in your bathroom to start this process even if you did it once in a while or for
two to three minutes at a time tremendous health benefits will come from it hope this is helpful
look forward to seeing you in a future video
