Oil Pulling
What is it?
Oil pulling, also known as oil gargling or oil swishing is a cleansing and healing technique originating in ancient Ayervedic medicine which has its origins in India.
Dr. Deepak Chopra, in his book "Perfect Health", promotes the practice and explains it is used to "purify the taste-buds and the entire system".
According to Ayerveda, different areas of the tongue correspond to different organs of the body - that is, one section is connected to the kidneys, one to the lungs, one to the spleen and the same for the liver, heart, pancreas, small intestines, stomach, colon and spine.
You could think of this process of pulling oil through your teeth and swishing it around all the surfaces of your mouth as giving your internal organs a massage.
Although it is a simple technique to perform, it has very powerful body cleansing and healing effects.
