Oil pulling: step by step
An old mouth routine with plant oil. We describe it factually, step by step , without health promises.
To the steps
What it is
Swishing oil in the mouth
In oil pulling, a tablespoon of plant oil is moved around the mouth for a few minutes and pulled through the teeth, then spat out. Popular are coconut oil (mild) and sesame oil (traditional).
It is a care routine, not a replacement for brushing or the dentist.

Step by step
- 1. In the morning on an empty stomach, take about a tablespoon of oil into the mouth.
- 2. Gently move the oil around for a few minutes and pull it through the teeth, do not gargle.
- 3. Do not swallow.
- 4. Spit into a tissue or the bin, not the sink (it eventually clogs the drain).
- 5. Rinse the mouth with water, then brush normally.
Said honestly
Oil pulling is heavily advertised; the scientific evidence for concrete health effects is limited. We make no health promises and say clearly: it replaces neither brushing nor the dentist. Those who like it can use it as a supplementary routine. We give you the facts, the decision stays with you.
