My Coconut "Oil Pulling" Mini Experiment

Why should anyone practice oil pulling? My experience after just one try!

It's rare that I am totally stumped when I'm asked about different alternative therapies and detoxes. Well it happened yesterday. I had a close friend ask about this technique and I was totally stumped.

So ofcourse I began to look into it. It's very simple and makes alot of sense. The link below explains just how this practice works.

I didn't have sesame oil on hand so I used coconut oil(<-which by the way has great antiviral, antibactirial and antifungal properties). It takes a minute or so to liquify but seemed to thin out a bit to quick which makes it less effective since it can be absorbed quicker. I'm going to pick up some Sesame Oil and give that a try as well.

After just one try i've noted my sinuses are VERY clear. I'm not one that suffers from allergies and/or congestion however there seems to be a definite POSTIVE change.
