Oil pulling is an ancient practice of Ayurvedic Medicine, which uses natural oils to cleanse and detoxify the entire oral cavity. I created the Brilha Whitening Elixir so you can incorporate this ritual full of benefits into your daily routine.
By swishing with the oil, we activate the salivary enzymes in the mouth and the bacteria are retained in the oily solution, preventing the formation of bacterial plaque. It also promotes the health of the gums , which are often inflamed and cause bad breath. With a coconut oil-based solution, it is natural that you will feel a whitening effect on your teeth . If you are a big coffee or black tea drinker, try oil pulling consistently and see if you don't notice results in the coloring of your teeth!
Furthermore, in Ayurvedic Medicine, and also in Chinese, the oral cavity is an indicator of what is happening internally in our body, especially the tongue. It is believed to be linked to the functioning of the kidneys, heart and small intestine. Therefore, by keeping our mouth clean, we are also stimulating internal detox and can even help with digestive problems. Oils contain minerals and vitamins that are important for the functioning of your body, which are absorbed in small amounts through your mouth while oil pulling. It is much more nutritious than rinsing your mouth with typical elixirs full of toxic products. Coconut oil in particular has many anti-inflammatory benefits.
There is evidence of benefits for the skin too! By releasing toxins through the action of the oil in the mouth, the skin is freer from this burden, which often appears in the form of oil or pimples on the skin. It can also help dry skin maintain an adequate amount of oil in the body.
If you suffer from insomnia, allergies, sinusitis or headaches , oil pulling after brushing your teeth before bed can help you sleep better. Oils and essential oils will help cleanse excess toxins from your body and balance stress and hormone levels. 
ROUTINE
Oil pulling should be done in the morning with nothing in your stomach , ideally after cleaning your tongue with a copper scraper , and at night, after brushing your teeth. Oil pulling is supposed to last 20 minutes , which may seem like a lot at first, so my advice is to start slowly, for at least 3 minutes.
It also ends up being a kind of massage for the facial muscles . It can actually be beneficial in case of accumulated tension in the temporomandibular joint or for those who suffer from recurrent migraines, as well as being great for toning the skin of the face and stimulating its elasticity.
CARE TO BE TAKEN
It is very important that you do not swallow the oil. After all, he is retaining all the bacteria that may exist in his mouth and we don't want to swallow any of that. You should also throw it away in a trash can and not directly in the sink, as the oils (especially coconut oil) can solidify and clog the pipes. Oil pulling does not replace washing your teeth and flossing, nor going to the dentist regularly, despite the many benefits it has. So, maintain your usual oral care - simply include this practice to feel even better!
You can start oil pulling now with the Brilha Whitening Elixir (now also in a larger 200ml format) , available individually or in the Teeth Kit , for super complete oral care that is completely free of chemical products.
