Smile Brighter With Oil Pulling

In addition to all of the above, coconut oil can also be used for oil pulling. Oil pulling is a traditional, ayurvedic practice that is thousands of years old. It involves switching a tablespoon of oil in the mouth for 5 to 20 minutes before spitting it out. The idea is that the oil ‘pulls’ toxins out of the body from the oral cavity. This traditional treatment is said to be excellent for whitening teeth naturally, protecting your pearly whites against cavities, and getting rid of bad breath. As well as an improved smile, the positive impact oil pulling can have on your teeth can also have a knock-on effect on your mood too.

In particular, homemade scrubs are easy to make and can contain basic items that many people already have in their home. A good scrub is essential for exfoliation and can help keep your skin looking fresh. One easy recipe includes oatmeal, brown sugar, and, once again, coconut oil. For chapped lips, try exfoliating them with a scrub made out of similar ingredients. A concoction of brown sugar, coconut oil, and honey can help rid your lips of flaky skin.
