Film: Ayurveda - The Art of Being

I recently saw this film documentary about Ayurveda, a 3000 year old healing practice from India.

This practice embraces many Eastern derived practices and may even contain the fundamentals of homeopathic medicine. In the documentary it is mentioned that the Ayurvedic healers were nearly wiped out by the British conquest. Some practitioners had their hands cut off by the Brits so that they couldn't practice. Nothing like Western civilizing influences...

Fortunately, Ayurveda is making a comeback. I even noticed that a certain Ayurvedic Massage technique shown in the documentary resemble a Scientology practice known as a "NERVE ASSIST", which is implemented to relieve stress and physical conditions.

Ayurvedic 'Oil Pulling' Therapy for Dental Health

"Oil Pulling" involves swishing a tablespoon of sunflower oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes each morning, then spitting it out, rinsing real well and brushing/flossing your teeth as you normally do.

Oil Pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice from India. The therapy is claimed to eliminate plaque, alleviate gingivitis, whiten teeth and even kill bacteria throughout your body.

I just started doing this and haven't yet experienced anything, although my oral and general health is pretty good already.

It's very interesting that Oil Pulling doesn't require any special product and you don't need to register or buy into some multi-level marketing program. There is no money line at all. You can simply try Oil Pulling, and if it works- it works. If not, no big deal and no harm done. Olive and safflower oils can also be used, but my web research most often indicates sunflower oil. You can purchase these at any local supermarket.

For more details, just Google "Oil Pulling". There's lots about it online.

If Oil Pulling works for you, it's probably a safer and less expensive alternative than the conventional over-the-counter oral rinse products or the ones dentists prescribe.

Do your own research!
