Recipe Notes

Oil Pulling has been used for centuries and has recently gained popularity in the U.S. It’s primary purpose is to be an oral detoxification method that pulls the toxins out of your mouth to create an environment that supports cavity and disease prevention.  Here is a wonderful article on oil pulling.  Note that my method is not the full method being that it’s part of a mouth rinse and only done for 5 minutes.  I can say from my personal experience that my gum health has improved significantly since I incorporated this in to my mouth rinse!
