Well when I first tried this I was concerned about the pure oil taste in my mouth. I've taken castor oil several times to force myself into labor (which worked btw) and have horrible memories of the taste, texture and texture. Oof, foo. But as a breastfeeding mom, I wanted to detox and was concerned about the toxins in my milk. So I heard about oil pulling and decided to give it a try. The first time I tried rinsing, I could only keep the oil in my mouth for 2 minutes. The consistency is terrible and the mint flavor the company adds is really more like a mint scent which benefits your nose as your taste buds are coated in oil. But I was determined to get the benefits of this oil and the next day I flushed it out for 5 minutes and lengthened my time each night. Now I usually do it 20 minutes before and during the shower. I will say the longer you can keep the oil in your mouth the more it will mix with your saliva and dilute the oil. Spitting up and brushing your teeth is a relief. But I can say my breath is better and I really believe it clears my mouth of bacteria. It's hard to say if this will detox my body, but I will continue this practice for a while since something so old has been around for so long, it should work, right?
