Much has been written in the press and health publications regarding the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet. One of the core ingredients of this diet is certified extra virgin olive oil. A less well known use for this amazing versatile substance is oil pulling. If this sounds intriguing, read on to find out more.

Indians have theories supporting their health systems that are thous ands of years old. The central belief is that well being is best accomplished through a combination of caring for the mind, body and spirituality. The custom of oil pulling requires frequent cleansing of the mouth using an olive oil rinse.

Approximately fifteen milliliters is all that is required which should be vigorously pumped and forced around the mouth, especially the extreme regions that are difficult to reach normally. Forcing the oil between the teeth also really helps the cleaning to be thorough. As the mouth is cleansed toxins are removed so be careful not to swallow and reabsorb them back into the body.

Regular use of this routine can bring multiple health improvements as indicated in the following examples. Amazingly it has become known as an effective dental whitener, without the potential toxicity of the chemicals used in many commercial products. Natural antibiotics and antivirals work efficiently to bring about improvements sometimes as quickly as in a fortnight.

When the body has to work overly hard to remove toxins it can drain our energy levels and consequently our overall performance. Removing many of these toxic substances, before they enter the body proper, reduces the amount of work the body has to do later to perform this function. So in a way this is a mini detox before any harm can even take place.

Removing toxins from the body may assist in stopping or minimizing many common ailments and conditions. Regular detoxification has been reported to reduce suffering or eliminate complaints such as headache and migraine, skin problems like spotting, rash and acne. Additionally keeping toxicity to a minimum may assist with maintaining hormonal balance. Theoretically the less time hormones spend fending off harmful substances, the more time they can concentrate on their real function.

One of the really great advantages received through this simple process is in the field of oral hygiene. Cavities and decaying teeth are significantly influenced by the bacteria streptococcus. Guess what, oil pulling is very good at getting rid of this agent of decay as it is also at dealing with gingivitis caused by plaque. Saving the best for last, however, is the very significant effect it has on solving the problem of bad breath. I think everyone reading this would be glad if this could be achieved worldwide.

When beginning some benefits may start to be experienced straight away while others may take longer, from weeks or even up to several months. The length of time taken depends on the degree to which personal health and immune system of the individual have been adversely affected. Keeping on with it is vital as the benefit to be derived can be immense and it is completely natural and free of the potentially hazardous chemical substances that regularly do not have the desired effect.
