tea tree oil

Oil pulling, an ancient practice from Ayurveda, can improve oral health by reducing bad breath and potentially aiding in whitening teeth and reducing gingivitis. Recent studies support these claims, albeit with nuanced results. Enhancing oil pulling with essential oils, like peppermint or oregano, can amplify its antimicrobial benefits. Organic oils, especially coconut or MCT oil, are recommended as a base. Adding Ora-Shield, a blend of essential oils, can further optimize oil pulling for better taste and stronger oral health effects.
