My very first blog post is dedicated to something that has become a FAVOURITE part of my morning happiness routine. It's called oil pulling. An ancient Ayurvedic technique that has been around for centuries. I first heard about this magical practice from my girl, Katie over at the Wellness Wonderland and I knew I had to try it.
Basically, what it is, is swishing oil around in your mouth for 5-20 minutes. Sounds weird, right? It was definitely an interesting experience putting a tablespoon of oil in my mouth for the first time but you quickly get used to it - trust me!!

So take a tablespoon of the organic, cold pressed oil of your choice, I like coconut oil because it tastes yummy. Then swish it around in your mouth first thing in the morning! This practice detoxifies your mouth!! It pulls all the bacteria, toxins and parasites out, leaving you with fresher breath, whiter teeth, stronger gums and even clearer skin (plus much, much more) Who doesn't want all those things? Amazing! Get oil pulling today! I'm doing it right now... are you?
Note: when you're done with your chosen oil pulling time (work up to 20 minutes if this practice seems too crazy to handle. Just start slowly with 5, then go to 10, and so on, to get used to it. I jumped right in with 20, but that's me - LOL)
Anyway, make sure to rinse your mouth out with warm salt water, we don't want any pesky bacteria left lingering, then brush your teeth (preferably with a toothbrush designated for your oil pulling routine)

Happy detoxing!!!
