Alright, alright, lemme tell ya ’bout this oil thing, this… “oil pulling” they call it. Don’t ask me what that fancy name means, sounds like somethin’ them city folks made up. But I heard it’s good for ya, cleans ya out like nothin’ else. So, listen up.
First off, they say it detoxes your whole body. Now, I ain’t no doctor, but I reckon that means it gets rid of all the bad stuff inside ya. You know, like when you clean out the chicken coop after the winter? All that nasty stuff gotta go somewhere, right? Well, this oil pullin’ thing is supposed to do that for your insides.
- They say it gets rid of them parasites. Them little critters that live in ya and make ya sick. I ain’t seen none myself, but I ain’t takin’ no chances.
- And the bacteria too, them things you can’t even see but they make ya cough and sneeze and worse. This oil is supposed to suck ’em right outta ya.
- And the viruses, them things that give you the flu and such. Oil pullin’ is supposed to keep them away too. Lord knows I hate bein’ sick.
Now, how do you do it? Well, it ain’t rocket science, that’s for sure. You just take a spoonful of oil, they say coconut oil is the best, and you swish it around in your mouth. Yeah, just like you’re washin’ your mouth out, but you do it for a long time, like 20 minutes they say. That’s a long time to be swishin’ somethin’ around, but if it makes ya healthier, then it’s worth it, I reckon.
Some folks say it whitens your teeth too. Now, I ain’t never had no fancy teeth whitenin’ stuff, but my teeth ain’t too bad considerin’. But if this oil can make ’em even whiter, well, that’s just a bonus, ain’t it?
And they say it’s good for your gums too. Keeps ’em healthy and strong. You know, when you get older, things start to fall apart, so you gotta take care of yourself. And if this oil can help keep my gums from bleedin’ when I brush, well, I’m all for it.
They call it an ancient Ayurvedic method. Sounds real old, like somethin’ my grandma mighta done. Them old folks knew a thing or two, that’s for sure. They didn’t have all these fancy medicines we got now, but they figured out ways to stay healthy. And if this oil pullin’ thing is one of them old tricks, well, I ain’t gonna argue with it.
Now, some folks say you gotta be careful what you eat when you’re doin’ this oil pullin’ thing. They say you gotta cut out seafood, ’cause some fish got that mercury stuff in ’em. I ain’t never understood all that science stuff, but I reckon it means it ain’t good for ya. So, I guess I’ll lay off the fish for a while, see if it makes a difference.
And they talk about toxins too, them things that are all around us, in the air and the water and the food. You can’t see ’em, but they say they’re there, and they make ya sick. This oil is supposed to get rid of them toxins too, clean ya out from the inside. Makes sense to me, I guess. You gotta clean everything once in a while, even your insides.
So, that’s the gist of it, this oil pullin’ thing. It ain’t complicated, just swish some oil around in your mouth for a while. And they say it does all sorts of good things for ya, cleans ya out and keeps ya healthy. I’m gonna try it, see if it works. Can’t hurt, can it? And if it makes me feel better, well, then I’ll keep doin’ it. That’s all there is to it, plain and simple.
Choosing the best oil is important too. Like I said, coconut oil seems to be the popular choice. Makes sense to me, coconut oil has always been a good thing in our house.
Tips to help your body detox while doing this is to probably eat healthier too. More fruits and vegetables can’t hurt! Gotta help the oil do its work you know? And make sure you are swishing for the right amount of time. Twenty minutes is a long time but you gotta stick with it.
