F.A.Q

Simply slowly swish between 10ml-30ml of your oil of choice in your mouth, ‘pulling’, pushing and munching it between your teeth in a relaxed fashion, for about 15-20 minutes.

You may notice that as the process continues, the oil tends to gets thinner and becomes white or creamy coloured [depending on which oil is used]. This is completely normal and is just a mixture of saliva, mucus, and accumulated debris.”

Apparently swishing activates enzymes in the saliva and these enzymes draw toxins out of the blood.  However, don’t swallow the mixture that results from the procedure, as that defeats the purpose of the treatment!

When you’re done spit it out, rinse your mouth, and brush your teeth. Rinsing with warm, sea-salt water is also recommended.

It helps quell the gag reflex if you tilt your chin down or lean forward a bit, as opposed to tilting your head back and letting it hit the back of your throat.

Ideally, first thing in the morning – before drinking or eating anything, and before brushing your teeth – since this is when the accumulated gunk from the sleeping hours is lurking in greatest quantity.  Morning breath confirms this!

In addition, if you do start feeling a bit green around the gills from the process or taste, it’s a lot more pleasant if you have an empty stomach.

It can however also be done at night, 3-4 hours after dinner, if mornings aren’t your thing.

Daily or 3-4x per week – depending on individual need or preference.  It can even be done 2-3x a day, for short periods of time. But, always before meals, or on an empty stomach i.e. 3-4 hours after a meal has been digested.

As long as you like, or until you see improvement.

Not usually, but If you do experience a bit of stiff jaw or muscle tightness in the cheeks, just relax your face more when doing it or don’t swish and pull too vigorously and it should subside.

If you experience a release of mucus in your throat or nose, simply blow your nose before you start.

Sometimes symptoms may feel initially worse, but this is usually a reaction to the treatment working. If you keep going, this should pass.
