Great! Just start slow, maybe start with half or even a quarter teaspoon, not like @Alex going for gold with a full spoonI got myself a tub at checkers
I can't wait to try it out. I've done some research and found that oil pulling has many other healing properties.
Here's an interesting link

Thanks for that link, I have my mouth full of this stuff at the moment.
Only 14
minutes to go
Nope, by using mouthwash you will just be negating what the oil is doing and introducing more harmful chemicals into your system.
Thanks @BumbleBee but I meant with the coconut oil. Do I gargle with that, or just rinse the mouth? The article linked says not to gargle with the coconut oil
I'm confused, didn't you just answer your own question?
Just rinse and spit with the coconut oil, it's that simple.
Lol, ok if the OP was made more than an hour or so ago then I've already forgotten what it said. This flu isn't exactly helping my already ageing memory
Anyhow, I suppose you could try gargling with the coconut oil, just make sure to take a video so we can see how it turns out

I've been gargling it!
That is why I ask, because after 2 minutes my neck is killing me and I'm out of breath, so I had no idea how people managed 15-20 minutes 
I am going to be evil and reviving this thread:
Coconut oil is amazing, I have been using it as a toothpaste (just coconut oil + spearmint) for about 4 months now and my mouth has never felt better (it sounds weird I know). I am not allowed to add anything abrasive to my mix tho since my teeth are brittle.
I can say it has helped with some of my vapor's tongue. But I have made it into a lotion and bath scrub as well

I started oil pulling with coconut oil this morning.
Can't wait to see the results

For the life of me I can't get past 5 minutes. My mouth just refuses to stay shut for 15 minutes. Rinsing anything in my mouth for longer than 5 minutes leaves me short of breath and feeling like I had to visit an ex's mother on a Sunday afternoon.
I never rince like that long, it is why I dip my toothbrush in the coconut oil, brush my teeth, rinse my mouth, then just a teaspoon of coconut oil swirled in my mouth for about 1min (i cant do it longer than that). It makes a HUGE difference. Since I use this instead of toothpaste, it works out a lot cheaper, plus I just add either mint or spearmint for a clean taste.
The cheapest good quality is from dischem - they have awesome natural oils.
@Ohmen - then just put some oil on your toothbrush and add your toothpaste - that also will help.
The rest of my oil I mix some teatree, lavender, peppermint and orange blossom. I use this as a general body lotion - daily - it also helps your feet!
The other I add some sugar to it and use it as a body scrub. Your skin will thank you!
Also use it as a hair mask (for the girls - once a month) you just work it into your hair, leave it on for at least an hour (I actually leave it in overnight) then wash it out and it takes about 3 rinses to get it out. That makes your hair so soft and shiny!
Try adding Himalayan salt instead of the sugar (eeew), your skin will thank you more
I did the salt one, it was too rough on my skin, I need a finer something which is why I used brown sugar.Try adding Himalayan salt instead of the sugar (eeew), your skin will thank you more
And for making fire
