Dinacharya Series: How to Practice Oil Pulling
/Dinacharya Series: How to Practice Oil Pulling
In this video, I am going to be showing you how to perform the Dinacharya practice of Oil Pulling. The Dinacharya practice of Oil Pulling is used to remove Ama or toxins from the mouth, tongue, teeth and gums. The benefits of Oil Pulling include that it cleans the teeth, removes plaque, reduces teeth sensitivity, promotes healthy gums, and helps remove tension in the jaw and neck. Practice Oil Pulling in the morning on an empty stomach. Begin by putting about 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of oil in your mouth. VATA & KAPHA can use Sesame oil and PITTA can use Coconut oil. Swish the oil in your mouth, making sure to move it around both sides of the mouth and around the teeth. Continue swishing for up to 20 minutes, until the oil has become thin and whitish in color. Do not swallow the oil. When you have finished, spit out the oil in a trash can. You can then rinse your mouth with warm water and brush your teeth if desired. Now press play on the video and follow along as you are led through the Ayurvedic Dinacharya practice of Oil Pulling.
