OIL PULLING

I started oil pulling late last month and couldn't stop since. I won't call it addictive but just that I want to do it every morning!

It started after I'd purchased a bottle of coconut oil from an organic shop back in Penang. It was supposed to be taken orally - one or two teaspoons daily in the morning, on an empty stomach. Of course this is for health reasons. But it's not easy to swallow the coconut oil on an empty stomach. No, its definitely not for the faint hearted.

After a few mornings, I decided to stop. But what am I going to do with this bottle of coconut oil? Then I remembered I read something about oil pulling in one of the many emails received. So I decided to check it out on the internet and found this website http://www.oilpulling.org/ Read quite extensively about oil pulling on the internet and decided to give it a try.

Apparently, oil pulling can heal headaches, ulcers, bronchitis, toothaches and many more illnesses. It's actually a very simple process, but you will a need to get up earlier in the morning to do it. It takes about 15-20 minutes to do it. You can go to the website to read more. I've finished using that first bottle of coconut oil and now I've bought another bottle of Sunflower oil, it's better to get the organic type.

After oil pulling for almost a month, I'd noticed that my mouth is not so dry. My sister has just started and she hopes it will cure her mouth ulcers.
