Dr. Guo Huijie
Oil pulling, or oil mouthwash, involves swishing oil in the mouth and then drinking it. Specifically, the benefits and effects of oil pulling are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Deep cleaning: Oil has high adhesion properties and can penetrate into areas that are difficult to reach with water, effectively removing dirt and bacteria from the mouth.
2. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory: The antibacterial properties of oil can inhibit bacterial growth in the mouth, reducing the occurrence of oral inflammation, such as mouth ulcers and gingivitis.
3. Detoxification and beautification: During oil pulling, toxins in the mouth dissolve into the vegetable oil and are expelled from the body along with it, helping to eliminate toxins and improve overall health.
It should be noted that when performing oil pulling, it is important to ensure the quality and hygiene of the oil to avoid any adverse effects on the body.
