Awesome! This is one of the coolest things I've ever learned! Imma start swishing (do we swish or fill the mouth with it?

edit: what if i keep it in my mouth WHILE brushing (coconut oil)?

you don't have to use a lot, like 1 tbsp is fine, and then you just swish it around.

it'll be pretty difficult to keep tge oil inside your mouth while brushing, but I don't see why you can't try it out, who knows?

since there aren't a lot of scientific studies, there aren't a lot of dogmatically proven methods, so you could be the first!

in fact, if it works, tell me, because I am going to start oil pulling again because I was very encouraged by the results and after the first couple times it doesn't even feel that gross, it's just a routine thing like brushing your teeth in the morning.

and I was kind of lacking days ago about it, so I think I'm going to do mornings and evenings and just try and really see a difference.

yeah, anecdotally people use all kinds of oils, mct oil among them, coconut oil is just the most popular. I think people like it because it's so easy to get organic, one ingredient coconut oil for cheap
