Oil pulling: day 1

Oil pulling: day 2 part 1
My sinuses are clearer (been sick for weeks and on crazy meds)
Mouth feels smooth and CLEAN
I didn't wake up more than once in a coughing fit last night, which has been pretty standard for two weeks now.
Not sure if it's related but my symptoms have been pretty consistent for two weeks.

Oil pulling: day 3
Mouth feels very clean alllll day long even after eating. 
Sinuses continue to be clear.
Coughing not as bad.
Noticing a slight color change, mostly on back teeth that you unfortunately can't see in this picture.



Oil pulling: day 4.

Last night I didn't have to wake up for my inhaler or a breathing treatment. In fact, I haven't needed either one in about 16hrs, which is 4 treatments that I've now skipped. That is HUGE for me. I'd love to hear how YOU are doing!



Oil pulling: Day 5
Continued results in sinuses, teeth appear to be glowing (?!!), much better in the bronchitis department.



Oil pulling: Day 6. 
Totally took this at work lol had to pull on the way to work today. I didn't cough at all while pulling today, so I'm definitely getting better! Normally I cough half way through from a mucus build up at the back of my throat and have to spit and continue with new oil.. today was great!



Oil pulling: day 7
I made it one whole week!
Noticeably whiter teeth, cough is barely a thing compared to how I usually feel (for weeks) after a bout of bronchitis. I am extremely pleased with the quick results! And am very upset that no doctor has ever recommended this to me after seeing how much I suffer every time I get the slightest cold. Shame on you, doctors!


More information I found today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pulling -- would like to check these sources!! Anybody who has the chance to read more, please share away! :)
I also found this link, which gives information on how/when to pull, different oils you can use aside from coconut, different benefits... etc etc etc JUST READ IT! :):

    1. Haha Justine, i only use just over a teaspoon.. i started with a tablespoon and it was really difficult. Plus, i kept having coughing fits and would have to spit and start over, so i felt i was just wasting it lol. Start small and build up to it! And don't swish fast like you would with mouth wash... go slowly. I made the mistake of swishing quickly and my jaw was killing me lol
