29. Coconut Oil Pulling
Oil pulling with coconut oil is an ancient Ayurvedic practice used to cleanse the mouth and remove toxins from the body. Swish a tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes, preferably in the morning before eating or drinking anything. The oil binds to bacteria, toxins, and plaque, improving oral hygiene and preventing gum diseases. When done regularly, it may also contribute to clearer skin and better overall health.
Caution: Spit the oil into a trash can instead of the sink to avoid clogging the pipes, and do not swallow it, as it contains the toxins removed during the process.
