[QUOTE="TIOT12, post: 1005781, member: 13390"] With regard to coconut oil pulling, here are a couple of things to consider: 1. Ideally, you want to do it for 15 to 20 minutes at a time. This is so the coconut oil can change from the oil form to more of a water form. In a pinch, you can do it for shorter time periods but the sweet spot is 15 to 20 minutes. 2. Once a day is sufficient and most suggest the best time is first thing in the morning because your mouth will have built up a bunch of crap in your sleep and the previous dinner. This is also a good time because you are less likely to be disturbed with a phone call, knock at the door, etc. Really, you want to choose a time where you won’t be disturbed so you won’t end up having to spit it out after starting the oil pulling for the day. 3. Do not spit coconut oil in your sink or toilet. You will clog your pipes as it will solidify again in the pipes. Instead, either throw it outside or spit it in a cup and eventually throw that out in the trash. 4. It is a good idea to skip a day or two every so often so you don’t over sterilize your mouth. 5. After oil pulling, spit it out and brush your teeth and tongue to remove the gunk and residue. [/QUOTE]
