Organic Coconut Oil Pulling Chews

Good afternoon friends!  We hope your Wednesday is treating you well!

You probably already know that we love to make our own homemade items whether it is homemade organic foods or personal care items!  Today, we wanted to share with you our organic coconut oil pulling chews.  We have talked about oil pulling before and it’s benefits, but let us recap in case you missed that post. 

An ancient Ayurvedic ritual dating back over 3,000 years, oil pulling involves placing a tablespoon of organic unrefined coconut oil into your mouth and then swishing it around for up to 20 minutes, minimum 5 minutes (pulling it between your teeth), before spitting it out.  Coconut oil pulling is a natural way to reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth and improve oral health.  There are also many other benefits such as:

• Teeth Whitening – We saw our teeth change a shade of white after just one use.
• Increases Energy – Once your body has removed the toxins it has been storing, the immune system revitalizes itself and thus you receive more energy.
•  Detoxifies – Germs in the body are much like poison causing inflammation and leading to disease and illness in turn.  When you oil pull, it helps to detoxify your body.
• Reduces Headaches – When the body stores toxins, it can in a lot of cases, cause headaches.  Oil pulling helps to remove the toxins.
• Clear Skin – When toxins are stored in the body, they are in the bloodstream as well.  Oil pulling removes the toxins, and clear skin is often achieved.

So, there you have it, just a few of many benefits of coconut oil pulling!  Now, for the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 C Organic Unrefined Coconut oil
• 20-30 Drops of Essential Oils (Peppermint, Spearmint, and Cinnamon are a few of our favorites!)

Method:
