GuruNanda Original Oil Pulling Mouthwash, Promotes Deep Cleaning, with Coconut & Sesame for Teeth & Gum Health & Fresh Breath, Alcohol-Free, 8.45 Fl Oz

I knew about oil pulling since the "alternative healthy lifestyle" trend back in the late 2010s but didn't really continue doing it since I didn't like having to deal with coconut oil either being too hard to scoop out or too melted to pour out and not make a mess with. I saw a lot of influences using this and I can tell you this genuinely works. I have issues with receding gums because of Invisalign and health issues not giving me enough energy to do a full dental routine. I'm always put off flossing and used to just brush my tongue with my toothbrush but after trying this in the morning before brushing my teeth, my gums aren't bleeding or sore after I floss them, which makes it a whole lot easier to have the motivation to keep flossing them twice a day. The flavor is tolerable and it's very easy to measure out how much you need with the included measuring cup. It's easily rinsed with warm water and my mouth health has improved literally after one use. I wish they made bigger bottles of the original formula for this price, but the benefits are just too good to not get this.

I LOVED everything about this Pulling Oil. (the quality, the price, the taste aaaaand it came with a free copper tongue cleaner. Talking about value for money! So good!)First I started slow on the swishing performance, but I do around 7 min now and it is an essential part of my morning routine. I usually swish when I am taking a shower and my gum is SO much healthier. My teeth are whiter. And I feel like it helped my immune system! Oral health is just so important it changed my whole appearance. I am so much more comfortable talking to my friends and colleagues when standing close to them. I just feel so relaxed knowing that I don’t have a bad breath and my mouth looks healthy. It just changed EVERYTHING! And yes I agree with the other reviews. Your dentist will absolutely see the difference when you start using this Pulling Oil in a regular basis. My recommendation is DON’T wait and try it NOW. I waited too long. But oral health shouldnt be waiting. GuruNanda is a great brand and you’ll seriously love the Pulling Oil! Also here is the link to the essential oils from GuruNanda that I have been loving too. Great value for money too if you want to check it

Product surely whitened my teeth...taste could have been better...could not gargle. more then 2 minutes.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect for this to work at all. I’ll be even more honest, I literally rolled my eyes while swishing this around during my first try because I thought it was a pointless endeavor. I have been dealing with a very inflamed gum line for years now and, to make matters worse, they have begun receding over the last year. The receding isn’t anything major, but it’s been enough to throw me into an anxious fit. I refuse to step foot into a dentist office until I’m fully vaccinated, so I’ve been forced to seek other treatment options. I have tried numerous mouth washes and rinses, to no avail. I even stepped up my game with flossing, brushing, and purchased more high-end products. Still, no noticeable improvement (I’m positive the frequent brushing and flossing has helped me, don’t get me wrong, but the visible symptoms remained the same). Finally, I did a little extra research and found a few articles on Pulling Oil. Figured, “What do I have to lose?” Purchased a single bottle, expecting to throw it out in a week or two. Now? I’m on the verge of purchasing another bottle, assuming the improvement continues with the rest of this first one (I'm a little over halfway done).To be more specific with the improvements: My gum line is still inflamed, but the shade of red has reduced significantly. The first day, I only used the product for two minutes before spitting, then five minutes the following day, and then ten minutes every day afterward. I began using this exactly one week ago, so the fact that the inflammation is already going down has been a pleasant surprise. Not only that, but little areas of my gums are beginning to slowly re-connect with my teeth. I can tell it’s a slow process that will take time, but I’m just pleased to see a process happening at all. My breath also no longer smells, something I have always been self-conscious about. If I had one con, it's that my teeth haven't gotten whiter in any way. Whether this changes, who knows, but I didn't buy it for that purpose (there are great teeth whitening pens for that).My recommendation: Be patient! It took five days before I noticed even the slightest difference, then two days more before I really saw any actual improvement. If you’re hoping to see great results fast, you’re setting yourself up for failure and disappointment. Give it time, use it once a day for ten minutes, and don't take a day off. Swishing this stuff around in your mouth for ten minutes a day can be tedious, but you’ll get used to it after two or three days. I’m always pleased when it goes into my mouth dark, then comes out a much lighter shade. The taste isn't the best, but it's not so bad that I can't tolerate it, and it smells nice (I accidentally spilled a few drops on my bathroom counter and it made the entire bathroom smell great). Also, make sure you’re practicing other good oral health habits. I bought an Oral-B electric brush and use it twice a day for three minutes after lunch and dinner with Sensodyne toothpaste (note: wait at least thirty minutes after eating before you brush, as brushing immediately after is bad for the enamel). I also purchased sensitive brush heads. I floss directly after every meal and snack using Oral-B Glide floss picks (in my experience, that brand of floss picks pull out debris better than other picks or standard string floss), and clean my tongue with a stainless-steel tongue scraper I also bought from Amazon (I use it three times a day, six to eight scrapes per use). I don’t rinse my mouth after brushing because it removes a lot of the paste, I just spit well and wipe the outside of my mouth, then scrape off toothpaste from my tongue using the scraper. But DO spit out AND rinse the Pulling Oil right after using. Also, I always use the oil after flossing but before brushing, as the directions instruct.I’ll be updating this in a week or two when I finish the bottle (I know a lot of people say this and never do, but you can bet on it). For now? Five stars.--UPDATE #1 - April 7th, 2021.Exactly one week later and I bring good news! Inflammation has continued to go down, leaving me with a very dark shade of pink at the gum line, as opposed to full-on red, and I actually think this product might stop me from using the term 'inflammation' in a matter of weeks. There was a strange two-day period where it looked like my gums were somehow starting to regress, but the following day suddenly showed really fantastic results. It seems like when the changes kick in, they *really* kick in. My teeth have also gotten a little whiter since my last review, but only slightly. I still wouldn't use this for teeth whitening, if that's your main objective, but that's just me. My gums also hurt so much less when I brush. If the good results continue, I definitely see myself making this a regular part of my oral hygiene routine. As someone who thought I would toss this in the trash after a week and move on to other products, I'm stoked. Again, five stars. I still have another tablespoon (just under 15ml) worth of oil left, but I went ahead and ordered more. I'll update again in another two weeks. If I see a significant difference before then, I'll update sooner.--Update #2 - May 18th, 2021.Whoops, I'm a little late! Guess I lost track of time. As I got closer to finishing my second bottle, I noticed that my oral health seemed to be regressing. My gums were starting to bleed and the inflammation was slowly coming back. I have two theories: 1. Using too much of the product for too long can actually have a reverse effect and cause some damage to your oral health because good bacteria is being removed with the bad, or 2. My oral health improved with the help of this product, but it was only going to do so much before I absolutely needed to get a professional cleaning from my dentist. Personally, i think it's a combination of both.Fortunately, I had already scheduled a dentist appointment by the time I reached the bottom of the second bottle and was able to get a proper check-up. I was shocked to find out I just needed a basic cleaning and not a deep one. Personally, I'm convinced I would have needed the more invasive (and more expensive) cleaning had I not used this product at all. The inflammation was terrible before I tried this, but it now looked like it was a little beyond the beginning stages when I went to the dentist. Even better, you can barely tell I have any inflammation at all after I got the regular cleaning. I really do think this pulling oil and the cleaning saved me from a worse outcome. I shudder to think what my dentist visit would have been like had I not given this stuff a shot. Is it a miracle worker? I wouldn't go that far. But it works. It reduced a lot of the inflammation and even slightly whitened my teeth. If you can't visit the dentist anytime soon, whether it's because of the pandemic or a lack of insurance and the hefty price tag that can sometimes come with those appointments, I recommend giving this a shot. From personal experience, I don't think it will completely eliminate the problem, depending on the severity, but I would certainly wager that it will reduce the impact that problem might otherwise cause and keep it at bay for a certain amount of time. Be sure to monitor your developments, though. As I mentioned earlier, it seemed to work great until it didn't (nearly two whole bottles later) and you don't want to reverse your progress by overdoing it, if that is indeed a possibility with this product. It’s possible something else caused the subsequent bleeding and inflammation, as I did make a few changes with medications and my diet around that time.I don't see myself using this regularly, but I do see myself purchasing it every three months as an extra cleaning for my mouth. I thought about reducing my rating to four stars, but I'm going to stick with the five I initially gave it. No, it didn't completely cure my gum issue, but I didn't expect it to and it still helped in significant ways until I felt safe enough to make a dentist appointment. Considering how low my expectations were at the beginning and the decent price, I'm impressed and grateful.

Great product. I am new at oil pulling & thought it was going to be gross , but this is not. The tongue scraper is great too!

I could not get past the thick texture and oil coating the mouth. The taste and smell were pleasant enough. I really wanted to like this. I'm sure it could be a valuable tool in dental hygiene.

Works great

Amazing taste. It doesn’t make me gag like coconut oil!
