Steps to do Oil Pulling:
1. Measure 1 tablespoon of Anandham Sesame Oil and put the oil in your mouth. It is important to note that oil pulling should be done before you have consumed any food or drink in the day and also before you have brushed your teeth
2. Swirl the oil around your mouth for 10-15 minutes. The oil will mix with the saliva, absorbing and “pulling” toxins from your mouth. As the oil is swished around the mouth, teeth, gums and tongue, the oil will continue to absorb toxins, usually turning somewhat viscous and milky
3. Spit out the oil and rinse your mouth out thoroughly with warm water. Its important to spit out the oil when it starts to feel thick. This usually takes anywhere between 15 - 20 minutes
4. Develop a routine and do this every morning as soon you wake up
