I appreciate you don't swallow the oil, however you absorb the oil in our mouth, just like you do in your stomach or on your skin, so I would use something other than Sunflower oil. It's not recommended for many if any blood type.
Also the reaction mention earlier is a typical intolerance reaction to something, the obvious thing would be the sunflower oil or something in it. - try another oil and see if you get the same reaction, fairly sure you won't. Kind regards

I asked my mother to follow oil pulling since she felt burning in stomach and head-ache. She used Sesame oil for oil pulling. She is feeling stomach pain. What's the reason? I am bit worried.

I started oil pulling with sesame oil about a week ago for red/receding gums. The OP has made a huge difference in the health of my gums and I actually saw some gum recession fill in. However, all my molars have fillings (not mercury), and I had a root canal in my upper left molar that was not crowned.
I have noticed that the molars have become yellowish with some dark spots appear through them - as if the enamel is wearing off? On the root canal tooth, the surface is rough and it has white spots showing through.
Has anyone experienced this? Based on this, I have stopped pulling but would like to find a way to continue b/c of the benefits to my gums.
Thanks.

I have been oil pulling for three weeks and this morning I had a dull pain in my lower right abdomen when I bent over. It is also tender to touch. I don't think it's appendicitis, although I could be wrong. My question to you is should I keep oil pulling and see if it heals on it's own? Thank you.

I think that side some of the effects I read about on this site are often a coincidence. People start taking something new or doing something they never did before, then anything that happens is a result of that but this is often not the case. The best thing, I suppose, is to always stop whatever you are taking or doing, wait for a few days and then start again and see if it happens again. You can have pains for a lot of reasons and I don't suppose it has anything to do with oil pulling.
Oil pulling seems to worry a lot of people but in the end, if you ask me, it is only a bit of oil in your mouth, how much harm can that do? I have been doing it for quite a while now and to be honest I never noticed anything negative but then I don't connect it to any of the little pains or discomforts I sometimes have!

Oil Pulling
However, about a week into the oil pulling I woke to find my top left gum tissue around the molar really swollen and painful. It was so painful it woke me out of sleep. Also, my lymph node on the the same side is very swollen and painful to light touch. My cheek on the same side is tender to the touch...I assume sinus. My gum in the area I described is still swollen and painful and so is the lymph node...it's been four days!! and am generally feeling under the weather.
I was told that my body is just getting worse before it gets better, but I'm tempted to stop due to the discomfort level. I do have amalgam fillings in the area that is swollen...could this be the problem? Should I stop the oil pulling? Or is there a modified way to continue?
On one good note, my skin has never looked better! It's the dead of winter in Wisconsin which usually causes severe dry skin for me, but my skin is softer than it's ever been and I barely have to put on moisturizers!
Looking forward to hearding your feedback,

I have been trying OP with cold pressed coconut oil for three days and the results have been fantastic--decreased hunger and amazingly increased energy. My mother has several things wrong with her-diabetes, and arthritis being the primary ones. She has tried the OP for two days and her arthritis has flamed up so bad that she can hardly get out of bed. Is there anything that she can do to speed up this detox? Anything that will help ease her some.
Also, I wanted her to try the ACV first but she is allergic to apples--is there anything else that has the same effects, or has anyone else been allergic to apples and gotten around it to use the ACV. This web site is wonderful and I hope I posted this in the right place."
