Oil pulling

Today I tried oil pulling for the first time,

It involves swirling a little coconut oil in the mouth for 20-30 min (and then spitting it out).

Felt anything? Maybe, Don’t know about impurities from the rest of the body but my mouth feels a bit cleaner.

Hoping it works, I have had to visit dental hygienist and the amount of tartar was no joke (he asked whether it was some kind of dental filling).

Though I am brushing a wee bit more sincerely, I can see it creeping back after just few months, hence the effort towards cleanliness.

Oil pulling is supposed to aid dental hygiene at the least and what not at the max. Worth Googling or looking up on Wikipedia and probably worth trying it too.
