Did you know that coconuts are a natural anti-bacterial food and can help reduce the risk of developing gum disease and cavities?
“Coconut Oil Pulling” is the term used, which simply means swishing coconut oil around in your mouth.
Studies on coconut oil pulling have shown a statistically significant reduction in gingivitis-induced plaque, where the result occurs after 10 days of using the oil pulling method. Furthermore, oil pulling has been found to reduce the Streptococcus bacteria, which is a major contributor to tooth decay.
Which is the best kind to use? The most recommended type of oil is organic extra virgin coconut oil.
