However, although it just became popular on the social scenes in the United States, oil pulling is a tradition that has been around for hundreds of years. So, how does it work? By taking a raw oil such as coconut oil and warming it in your mouth by pushing it between your teeth and across your cheeks, oil pulling is a method that is designed to get rid of harmful toxins in your mouth along with any plaque or tartar on your teeth. The results of oil pulling aren’t just whiter teeth, but they’re also a cleaner mouth overall peppermint Leaves
