Bridging Tradition and Science: The Benefits of Oil Pulling

Ayurveda teaches us that health starts in the mouth. Oil pulling (Kavala) is a powerful detoxification method that has been used for centuries. Modern science is beginning to recognize the ‘oral-gut axis,’ where oral health directly influences digestive stability. By eliminating pathogens at the source, oil pulling reduces the risk of inflammation and promotes better nutrient absorption in the gut. Whether using coconut oil for its antimicrobial properties or sesame oil for its traditional roots, this practice is a cornerstone of holistic wellness and preventive care.
