Oil Pulling - Ancient oral health practice

- Take a tablespoon full of coconut oil, swish around mouth for 15 minutes on a empty stomach

- Spit out the oil when it turns milky white and thinned out

- Gargle with warm water with sea salt

-- Don't swallow the oil / water Oil Pulling
- This should be done in sitting position with chin up

- Can be taught to kids as well above 5-6 Years with half teaspoon oil for 3-5 minutes

- Per Ayurveda, Tongue/ oral hygiene has impact to most of vital organs of human body

- Promotes proper Salivary enzymes secretion
- Some families prefer sesame oil over coconut oil, it's equally beneficial too

- This helps to prevent from

- Natural discolouration of teeth
- Gingivitis, periodontitis
- Prevents bad breath
- Maintains a healthy oral bacterial flora
On constant practice,

- Your teeth gets naturally whitened
- Breath becomes more refreshing
- Jaws will get strengthened
- Oral cavity becomes healthier
- Strengthens your sense of taste
- This is more beneficial in these times of pandemic

- Personally suggest this as a hygiene practice to covid recovered people to revive taste sense

A simple and easy technique with innumerable health benefits to our health but not that actively practiced in many households
- Market and YouTube is flooded with flashy expensive products with instant results guarantee with false claims of even curing mouth cancer

- A normal cold pressed, aged coconut oil and constant patient practice is more beneficial than quick fix products

- Another factor, Saree is being unsuitable attire to nature of work, workplace dress code etc

However, occasional Saree cladding should at least be practiced for the implicit health benefits it offers to womens health

On Envt day, let's realise that

Plastic is a poison by all sorts to our health, environment & economy

Not everyone values the benefits of using the local made eco friendly items . It cost more but harmless to health & eco system

Pic : Handwoven Dharbha Meditation Mat
Our mind will value a recurring five rupees plastic bag to be cost effective rather a one time purchase of cloth or jute bag

Paradigm shift in consumer behaviour from a "Repair and reuse " mindset to "Use and discard " is making a space for plastic to exist in our society
By all means, plastic will qualify the next rank in commonly used hazardous chemical next to white sugar

Plastic won't leave this planet but you can atleast take a vow leave it
