Oil Pulling: My New Solution to Vaper's Tongue and Bad Breath

submitted 7 hours ago by WhatsUpBras

Someone told me about doing oil pulling so I purchased this big bottle http://tinyurl.com/qdgeoc8 and started using it everyday.

MAN, WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

You put a spoon of oil in your mouth, let it dissolve, then gargle it like mouth wash for 5-10 minutes. It is recommended you do this for 15-20 minutes but I never have that kind of time so end up doing it only for 5 minutes.

The coconut oil pulls out and extracts the bacterial in your mouth but since it is not a strong mouth wash it also serves to lubricate and moisturize your mouth and gums (very important in a vaper)

I use two spoons a day (once in the AM and once in the PM) and it has made my breath so much better and at the same time given me a sense of relief from the dry mouth and nasty taste you get from some juices.

If you dont want to buy a huge bottle Amazon sells smaller bottles for $10-12. But you literally get triple to quadruple the amount if you buy a large bottle so it may just be better to spend the extra $5-8 and if you dont like it you could always use it for cooking or as a moisturizer for your skin/hair.

Hope it helps you guys as much as it helped me.

This absolutely does work. We use coconut oil for just about everything, great for dry skin too. I've been tempted to do a nasal rinse with it, I've heard of people getting good results with this but I haven't had the guts to try it.

FYI, Checkers has 1kg buckets for R70.

All I can think is, I need to microwave some, add some menthol, then try this!!!

Wow, interesting idea there. Wonder how coconut oil tastes

 

[VapeGrrl]

It has a very light coconut taste. You can add a drop or two of organic peppermint oil as well.

It really doesn't taste like much, it's the texture you need to watch out for. Start with a very small amount and work your way up to a teaspoon full.

I prefer the stuff that hasn't been "de-odorised" - tastes and smells more coconut-y

I almost gagged this morning after trying a straight full teaspoon. But it wasn't bad once the coconut had liquified.

Yip, that gag reflex is a bugger

What you can also try is to scoop some up with a toothbrush and get it in your mouth that way. Just a quick brush to spread it around and get it melted and then swish it around. 10min is good but if you can go for 15 - 20min then you will see a noticeable difference.

It is also good for dental health. I kills bacteria makes teeth white over time. Been using it for a while now. I also eat/drink a table spoon of it every morning and night. Does wonders for your health.
You can also buy the 1kg tubs at President Hyper. More and more hypers are now stocking it.
You can use it on your skin, your feet and it's anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.

I must look into this. Switched my sunflower oil to palm oil for deep frying two months back as well.

Palm oil is great for cooking but don't let the hippies and environmentalists know you're using it. Coconut oil is also great for frying. The best is still lard.

Why is that @BumbleBee?

 

[method1]

Why is that @BumbleBee?

Deforestation, has brought species under threat for example the orangutan:

Unfortunately palm oil is in nearly everything so very hard to avoid.

 

[Mike]

Even ice cream (well the cheap ones anyway)

 

[Matt]

What brand do you use @BumbleBee ?
Was searching for some and see there is a huge difference in price.

We use this one from Checkers for R70


This one is available at our Van Heerdens Pharmacy also for R70

The more expensive ones are usually your cold press extra virgin grades with the most expensive being "organic". For our purposes this cheap stuff is just fine as long as the ingredients listed on the back is nothing more than: coconut oil

I got some of that checkers one earlier.

Quick question, do you guys do this before or after brushing your teeth in the morning?

Also after gargling do you guys rinse your mouth with water as well?

Oil pulling pretty much replaces brushing.

 

[Viper_SA]

I can't seem to get pas 1.5 minutes with gargling. My neck hurts and I get out of breath.

Quick question guys...Possibly silly

If I vape like 30ml's of one juice the flavour usually becomes a bit muted after a while. Will the coconut oil help with that too? @BumbleBee you seem to be the expert on all things coconut oil

I don't think the coconut oil will really help for that, best is to have at least 2 or 3 flavours in rotation and not to overdo just one.

Being banters we have discovered so many wonderful things, coconut oil being one of them. It's extremely versatile.
