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.

How to take essential oils internally?

Therapeutic Doses (Up to 5-6 drops per application) When ingesting essential oils is necessitated for therapeutic purposes, much more than a culinary dose needed. “Therapeutic” amounts require up to 5-6 drops of essential oil per dose. To do this safely, taking them in a gel capsule is the preferred method. Alternatively, you can add 3-4 drops of essential oil with one tablespoon of an edible carrier oil like olive or grapeseed or coconut oil and consume that way.

How to Make Gel Capsules
The safest (and most effective) way to ingest essential oils for therapeutic purposes is to take them in capsules.

BASIC CAPSULE FORMULA (Makes 1 dose)
INGREDIENTS ● 4 drops essential oils ● Organic, unrefined coconut oil or olive oil
SUPPLIES ● Pipette ● Size 00 vegetarian capsules

1. Using a pipette, drop the essential oils into the narrower bottom half of the capsule. 2. Use the pipette to fill the remaining space in the capsule with coconut or olive oil. 3. Fit the wider top half of the capsule over the bottom half and secure snugly. 4. Swallow a capsule immediately with water on an empty stomach. Take twice daily. 5. Use up to 2 weeks at a time.

* Note: Do not premake and store for future use.
