Oil Pulling Therapy

So recently I was introduced to the concept of Oil Pulling Therapy. My sisters doctor who is from India told her about this treatment which is supposedly able to cure a slew of different aliments. Since my sisters doctor had put her on the Raw Vegan diet/lifestyle my sister has lost over 60lbs in 3 months. So I figured that I would give this oil pulling thing a try.

Today was my first day in doing the treatment, and I have to say that it was a very interesting experience. What you do is you  brush your teeth and scrape your tongue really good, take a table spoon of sesame seed or sun flower see or coconut oil and hold it in your mouth for 20 minutes and no more. I used Sesame seed oil. What happens during that time is that the oil extract all of the toxins in your mouth and body. Making sure to be careful not to swallow any of the oil, you swish it around in your mouth on and off through out the 20 minutes, when the time comes you spit it out and it should look like milky water. Mine when I was done looked like really milky coffee. Im not sure if that was suppose to be the case but I also have an infected tooth and other oral problems like cavities too. I also noticed that while doing it about 15mins into it, that my nose started to run and that I had a build up of phlegm in the back of my throat.
I was cautioned however, that after about a week of doing this treatment that you may start to experience cold like symptoms but that is because your pulling all of the toxins and other build up out of your system. I noticed after I was done besides my nose running like crazy, that I had a strong sesame flavor in my mouth for most of the day, not the worst thing since I love sesame. Im going to keep doing it for about 60 days and see if I notice any difference and I will try to keep everyone posted about it.
