Ayurvedic Kaval (Swish) and Gandush (Fill & Hold) – Oil Pulling

Retention of medicated decoction or oil in the mouth for a few minutes. Gandusa is good for cleansing, detoxifying and aids in mouth, voice, gum and tooth disorders. Gandusa addresses bad breath, whilst improving the flexibility of facial muscles.

The technique of Oil Pulling is mentioned in ancient books of Ayurveda. Mentioned in Sanskrit as "Kavala ", Oil pulling is basically a simple method where one needs to sip some oil and swish it through the oral cavity for some times before throwing it out. Another simple diversion of this method is called as "Gandsuh" where one holds the oil in the mouth  for some time before throwing it out. In both the methods one does not swallow the oil at all, so no fears on that lines.

" Sometimes the simplest procedures produce the greatest results "

Oil pulling is traditionally done with sesame oil, Medicated Ayurvedic Oils (Different for different Medical conditions, As per Ayurveda Doctor’s Advice ) (You can take advice at Amruta Ayurved Panchkarma Center Thane Mumbai), though you can also use other organic, cold-pressed oils like coconut and sunflower etc.

Ideal Time to do Oil Pulling - The best time to do Oil pulling is in the morning after one brush the teeth before breakfast. One can of course do the procedure any time of the day, but morning would be the best time. Another time that is suggested would late before going to bed.

Procedure :

Take one tablespoon of oil and swish it around in your mouth, from side to side, front to back, and in between your teeth. As with mouthwash, you do not want to swallow it. There is no need to swish so vigorously that your mouth gets tired. You’ll be loosening bacteria and hidden food particles even as you move the oil about gently. After a few minutes, the oil may turn into a thin, milky consistency. At this point, it’s time to spit it out, rinse, and brush as usual.
