Pulling.....

Coconut Oil Pulling.....its a big fad right now... Well, I jumped on the pulling bandwagon....and....I LOVE IT!!! I kid you not, I think it has cured a toothache of mine....Before I started pulling, I thought I was going to have to get a root canal on one of my teeth....I went to the dentist several months ago- he was able to do a deep filling but told me if the symptoms returned I would need a root canal...And guess what?! Symptoms returned with a vengeance......So I happened upon a blog about coconut oil pulling.....It raved and raved about how oil pulling extracted bacteria and germs from your mouth- resulting in great effects all over....From clearer skin, to whiter teeth and healing of diseases.....Its been used by other cultures for centuries.....It does make me wonder why we are just now finding out about this though?! Nonetheless, I figured it couldn't hurt to try it and I was beyond curious.....Now- I do it every morning.....And since- NO MORE TOOTHACHE....The excruciating sharp pains are gone when I drink or eat something cold on that tooth! I believe its directly related to the oil pulling......Coconut oil is SUPER good for you...Its natural...I use it for a conditioner in my hair....And also use for moisturizer on my skin and on scrapes/bumps on my children....A lot of people cook with it- haven't tried that yet...Lets face it- I really hate to cook elaborate meals....We do simple, easy and quick at my house......But I would like to give it a try....Maybe I'll get Reese to bring some shrimp up when he visits in a few days... And we'll give my coconut oil a spin in the pan....

SO- if you wanna jump on board...When you wake up in the morning- get a scoop of coconut oil in your mouth and start swishing......I do it when I first wake up and jump in the shower.....Supposedly you are supposed to do it for 10-20 minutes... I lean towards the 20 minute side.......

Let me know whatcha think...

Oh yeah- virgin, organic is what I use....Any health food store carries it...I got mine at a Herb shoppe but GNC has- also have heard Walmart carries as well........

GOOD LUCK and HAPPY PULLING!
