I have been doing OP with virgin olive oil for over four years. This has now become part of my morning routine. The first week I started, I experienced a clean palate which I think resulted in my new experience of foods. I now enjoy my foods and eat with more gusto. My other observance was that I slept more soundly and felt more refreshed and energized upon waking. Each day I eagerly started my morning doing O/P and then a thorough brush with my regular tooth-paste and baking soda and salt. My breath definitely improved during the day. However, the most important and startling feature of this new practice for me was that it cured my hives. I suffered with this allergic reaction for more than 20 years and all I got from my doctors was temporary relief. I had been using Benadryl, Allegra, Zyrtec, Prednisone among many but when I started O/P, it cured my allergies, which came out in the form of hives (raised irregular shapes all over my body which were crazily itchy and ugly). I could not even talk about them, I felt like they were listening and would re-visit me. After four years of O/p I think this is the most amazing thing that could happen to someone with allergies. I feel that anyone with allergies can benefit if I can. I have been passing on by word of mouth to all my friends and family and those who try it tell me the wonderful results they too are having. I believe this has even helped me with whatever pain I have had in my shoulders and knees. I have experienced expelling a lot of phlegm which I am amazed is in my body as I never seem to have a cold or cough. Over the years, my face has gotten smoother than when I was younger. No one believes how old I am and I will not tell. I have used sesame oil and sunflower oil and I like olive oil the best.
Hives

I have been oil pulling with sesame seed oil for about two weeks. Within two days I noticed my teeth were brighter and gums no longer bleeding when I brush. After a week I noticed my redness in my skin was almost completely gone. I was suffering from Chronic Hives and now my skin isn't blotchy red after two weeks. I also started my cycle, which has been extremely painful the last 8 months. I had no warning! Not one cramp! This is amazing! So I'm hooked! FYI- before I started using Sesame Seed Oil I was using VCO for oil pulling .My teeth were brighter after 1 day and no morning bad breath. I had to stop after 3 days due to mixing too many things in my system. Once I got the clear from my dermotologist on my chronic hives I decided to try SSO because of what I read on this site. If anyone knows that VCO works the same as sesame seed oil please let me know.
