Cinnamon + Coconut Pulling Oil With Neem & Ashwagandha, 8 Fl Oz - 1 Pk

Oil pulling is an Ayurvedic oral care practice that involves gently swishing natural oils, such as coconut or sesame, around your mouth. It’s used to help freshen breath and support gum health* as part of a daily routine. Many people incorporate oil pulling alongside brushing and flossing to help keep the mouth feeling fresh and clean.

When swished, pulling oils work through a process called saponification, which helps loosen debris and surface buildup in the mouth. This process may help reduce harmful oral bacteria, freshen breath, prevent cavities and promote gum wellness*. Consistent use may help maintain a healthy oral routine over time.

Oil pulling offers multiple oral care benefits, including helping to freshen breath, reduce buildup on teeth and promote gum wellness by limiting plaque accumulation*. Studies also suggest it may help reduce the risk of cavities, aid in detoxification and contribute to overall wellness by lowering bacteria that can impact areas beyond the mouth*.

Neem is a natural antibacterial agent that may provide oral health benefits by reducing biofilm formation and limiting harmful plaque-causing bacteria*. These properties make neem a valuable addition to daily oral care routines, supporting both cleaner teeth and happy gums.

By helping to reduce plaque and bacterial buildup, oil pulling may help protect against cavities*. It also may help maintain tooth enamel and potentially lower the risk of tooth decay*. For best results, it should be used as part of a complete oral care routine that also includes brushing and flossing.

How long and which specific steps you take may vary by brand, but typically, you swish the pulling oil of your choice for 15-20 minutes on an empty stomach before brushing your teeth. Once finished, you discard it in the trash (never the sink). With GuruNanda’s formulas, a shorter session of 2-10 minutes can still be effective. 

For GuruNanda products, follow these steps:

1. Measure 10-15 mL of product
2. Swish it gently in your mouth for up to 10 minutes
3. Discard it into the trash
4. Finish your routine by brushing your teeth

Yes, oil pulling is generally considered safe when done properly. Remember not to swallow the oil after you finish swishing. It may contain bacteria from your mouth*. Also, it’s important to spit the used oil into the trash (not the sink) and rinse your mouth out to ensure you don’t swallow any.

Results can vary, but many report that their breath was fresher and their oral health improved within a few weeks*. It’s important to be consistent with your routine. Regular use will give you the best results. Stick with it, even if changes aren’t immediate.
