Coconut Oil For Great Health

 

Let’s face it, we are exposed to an
alarming amount of toxins on a daily basis.
From the BPA that lines your canned goods to the
pesticides liberally sprayed on anything alive these days, our bodies are
constantly absorbing an outrageous amount of chemicals.

Even though you may try to live as
pure a life as possible, sneaky sources of dangerous metals are everywhere,
even in the so-called “all natural” products that fool consumers into believing
these ingredients are safe. These “all natural” pre-packaged foods
are usually the worst of them all!

Over time, high concentrations of metals build up in our systems and can lead to
a wide variety of conditions
, including, but not limited to: Anemia,
Dizzniess, Fatigue, Dry Skin, Joint or muscle aches, Loss of appetite, Blood
pressure issues, Nausea and even Vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Try as you may, there’s just no
getting around the obscene amounts of toxins we are exposed to daily.


Introducing
the Coconut Oil Pulling Method:
Modern naturopathic practitioners
are joining with ancient Ayurvedic health practitioners in an understanding of
just how powerful a detoxification and healing tool oil pulling really is.
Although coconut oil is not the only oil that can be used to oil pull (others
include sesame, sunflower and olive), we love its long list of health-promoting
properties (for both oil pulling and/or coconut oil ingestion), listed below:
  • Antibacterial—stops
    bacteria that cause gum disease, throat infections, urinary tract
    infections and ulcers in their tracks
  • Anticarcinogenic—keeps
    dangerous cancer cells from spreading while boosting immunity
  • Antifungal—destroys
    infection-promoting fungus and yeast.
    • Anti-inflammatory—suppresses
      inflammation and repairs tissue.
    • Antimicrobial—inactivates
      harmful microbes and fights infection.
    • Antioxidant—protects
      from free radical damage.
    • Antiparasitic—can
      help rid the body of tapeworms and other parasites.
    • Anti-protozoa—kills
      protozoan infection in the gut.
    • Antiviral—helps
      to kill dangerous viruses that cause influenza, measles, hepatitis and
      more.
    •  
    Some
    positive side effects of oil pulling
    may include the following:
    • Overall
      strengthening of teeth, gums and jaw
    • Plaque
      prevention
    • Prevention of
      halitosis (bad breath)
    • Prevention of
      cavities and diseases such as gingivitis
    • Prevention of
      lip, mouth and throat dryness
    • Possible
      remedy for jaw soreness and TMJ
    • Relief of
      migraine headache
    • Hormone
      imbalance correction
    • Inflammation
      reduction
    • Support of
      normal kidney function
    • Relief from
      sinus congestion
    • Relief from
      eczema
    • Improved
      vision
    • Pain
      reduction
    • Aids in
      detoxification
    • Helps with
      insomnia
    Follow
    these instructions to perform the oil pulling method:
    1. Oil
    pulling should be done on an empty stomach
    (preferably first thing in the
    morning)
    2. Use
    one tablespoon of organic virgin coconut oil
    – you may want to start with ½
    tablespoon and work your way up to a tablespoon.
    3. Swish
    the oil around in your mouth slowly and be sure that the oil reaches all parts
    of your mouth – do not swallow.
    4. Swish
    for five to ten minutes.
    Try to work up to twenty minutes if you can.
    5. Spit
    out all of the oil when you are done
    and rinse your mouth with water.
    6. Brush
    with a natural toothpaste afterwards.
    Note: Some people may feel a bit ill
    during or after oil pulling – this is generally a good sign that your body
    is removing toxins and should dissipate as you become healthier.
    Daily oil pulling with organic
    coconut oil along with consuming a healthy diet, getting plenty of exercise and
    sleep will help your body stay sharp and ready to defend the onslaught of
    toxins you face each day! And your dentist just may be amazed at your next
    appointment in a few months at how much better your oral health is becoming!

  1. Metal deposits like iron have been found concentrated in persons with Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimers Disease. Not that the heavy metals are the causes alone but certainly do not help as the deposits contribute to plaques and interfere with the transmission of "signals" to and from the brain. Whether one has such an illness is irrelevant if we simply ask ourselves "Do I think or like to have heavy metal deposits accumulating in my brain or settling on my neural pathways? I think Donna's advice is so sensible and apart from the goodness of Coconut Oil, would it not be at least beneficial to limit the toxicity that comes at us in these times? I am sold on it.
