HABIT - Oil Pulling

 Here are a few of Dr. Eric Zielinski favorite ways to use essential oils during his morning oil pulling routine:

• Add 1 drop each of clove, orange, lemon, and peppermint with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil.
• If you’re battling an infection or something, I would change it up and mix clove with oregano and tea tree.
• Oils from herbs such as cilantro, basil, and thyme are also very pleasant. 

To help detox and keep your smile bright and shining, mix EO with unrefined, organic coconut oil. Here are some tips from Dr. Eric Zielinski:

• Like most other detoxification procedures, the best time to oil pull is first thing in the morning right after you get out of bed.
• All you do is swish between 1 – 2 tablespoons of coconut or sesame oil in your mouth for 20 minutes. Easy peasy!
• Don’t worry, you won’t even notice 20 minutes have gone by if you do this during your normal morning routine (i.e. while you shower, put your clothes on and prep for the day).
• Immediately afterwards, rinse your mouth out with warm water. Use salt water for added antimicrobial properties.
• Be sure NOT to swallow the oil.
• And don’t spit out the oil in the sink, because it WILL coagulate and clog your drains!
• Don’t be shocked if the oil/saliva mixture you spit out is milky white or yellow.
• Finally, brush your teeth as normal.
• I recommend oil pulling 3-4x per week.
