Eytons' Earth: Natural & Alternative Medicine

Oil Pulling therapy, using pure, first cold press vegetable oils, has recently been gaining popularity and quite a bit of interest in the western world.

Combining a good quality healing clay with fine vegetable oils is even a better idea... at least for those individuals eclectic enough to give such a strange therapy a try.

* Olive Oil
* Sesame Oil
* Virgin Coconut Oil
* Sunflower Oil

Pure oil and clay make a great combination. Proponents of oil pulling therapy will often espouse-- and corrrectly so-- how effective this therapy is for mouth problems. Mixing the oil with clay and a few drops of water will definately enhance the detoxification.

I will give the oil + clay pulling a try. For a while I pulled with clay only, figuring the absorption properties of the clay would be great for the gums. My mouth certainly felt great but my teeth were slowly getting stained from the clay so I stopped using it regularly. Now I only pull with clay when I have some issue with my gums or teeth.

Through plenty of experience with both oil pulling and clay therapy, I've determined the best way to combine the two for oral cleansing -- not of the mouth, mind you, but via the mouth -- is separately.

When I first began oil pulling, I used sesame oil. It worked very well, and every time I used it I felt a general sense of well being. My mouth was very clean, my breath didn't stink, and my head was clear --- like my thoughts. I got my own idea of incorporating some bentonite I had into the therapy, but the results were about the same. Really, the only thing that had changed was the difficulty of swishing, which had increased.

But I knew at that time that clay was good for trapping and removing some particularly bad baddies, and I really wanted to use it orally in some way. So I tried using it before and after oil pulling instead. Using it before oil pulling wasn't a waste of time, but I didn't get good enough results to think I would try it any more than the first couple times.

So instead, I tried this: oil pulling in the morning, on an empty stomach (10 minutes after drinking a full glass of pure, re-mineralized water) for 25 minutes, followed by a 2-3 minute mouth swishing of a couple pinches of bentonite in warm water. (The clay was non-swelling calcium or sodium bentonite, sourced from Texas, and I believe it's exactly what I'll link here in just a second.)

The results of my experiment, which lasted around a week, were great. At the time, I usually experienced mild tooth or gum sensitivity and a hardly noticeable nasal throbbing after oil pulling -- with any oil, not just sesame. However, any time I used the bentonite after oil pulling these symptoms would vanish in about a minute.

So, I think it's worth experimenting with clays and using them orally as a post-OP swish. After all, it's a cent worth of rock-milk for an astounding result. Really, though, I never had a lot of success with increasing the effects of my oral cleansing with the direct addition of clay to oil. Maybe it's because of the particular clay I was using.


EDIT: Oh! Forgot the link. Well, it's telling me I can't link yet anyway. The makeup of what I was using:

SiO2 - 66.5
Al2O3 - 14.3
MgO - 3.2
Fe2O3 - .8
CaO - 2.2
Na2O - 3.3
K2O - .1
TiO2 - .2

There we go. Says it's technically a calcium bentonite.
