Oil pulling, a traditional Ayurvedic practice, involves swishing oil in the mouth for oral health benefits. The brand “Guru Nanda” offers a line of pulling oils designed for this purpose. Typically, users swish a tablespoon of oil for 15-20 minutes before expectorating. Potential effects include improved oral hygiene, whiter teeth, and fresher breath.
Ayurveda views oil pulling as a way to detoxify the body by removing toxins from the mouth. While some anecdotal evidence and preliminary studies suggest potential benefits, more rigorous scientific research is needed to confirm these claims. The practice has gained popularity in recent years as a complementary therapy for oral health.
