During my morning internet browse and read, I came across oil pulling. And after reading about it for over an hour, checking out different sites and forums I have decided to give it a shot. I'm interested if any of you have tried it? And if so what do you think and what are your experiences?

    I've done it. It is great for whitening teeth & for oral health. I prefer to use unrefined sesame oil. I have not done it for a while & keep telling myself to start again.

    That is an understatement. It sounds ridiculous! lol... But, incredibly, there are definite benefits.

    My sister does this with coconut oil, she says it's fantastic but I am yet to be convinced.

    I'm not sure I "get it". Or maybe I just don't understand HOW it's supposed to be beneficial. What have you read?

    I don't blame you. I had to try it to believe it. You can't tell by looking at others most of the time because we don't pay that much attention to them & their teeth. We notice on ourselves if it is making a difference.

    I figured if it did not work I could stop and if it worked I would have the benefits that others who thought it was too weird to be true missed out on.

    Thank you to those who can muster up the decency to be polite with their responses. I try to look at most things with skepticism from both sides, because you never know, and it didn't hurt to find out. This post was intended for those who HAVE TRIED it before....
