But did you know that the coconut's oil can also cure for bad breath, improves the health of gums and also whitens teeth? The procedure of this called Oil Pulling.
The Oil Pulling is swishing of 1-2 teaspoon of Coconut oil for about 20 minutes, spit it out and rinse with lukewarm water. It is great replacement for mouthwash specially to those who have sensitive teeth.
Over the counter mouthwash kills bad bacteria and also wipes the GOOD bacteria which is NOT good for our dental health. Good Bacteria has big roles to our health, this can help with digestion because it will start breaking food down as soon as we start eating.
