Sore gums? Try Myrrh Oil pulling!

Oil pulling is the practice of swishing oil, such as coconut or sesame, in your mouth. Oil pulling helps remove bacteria, prevent gingivitis, reduce plaque, and promote good dental hygiene. Myrrh is fantastic for oil pulling because it is soothing, promotes a healthy mouth, gums and throat, and combats bad breath.

Add one drop of Myrrh Essential Oil to 1 tablespoon of coconut, sesame, or olive oil. Swish in your mouth without swallowing for 15-20 minutes. (Start with 5 minutes and build up each time). For ideal results, oil pulling 2-3 times a week is sufficient; you may want to increase the frequency for chronic issues.

Packed in a recyclable and reusable amber glass bottle.
