Oral health is important for various reasons. Our digestion starts in the mouth. The microbiome of the body begins in the mouth, and the health or lack of health in our oral cavity can affect our entire body. Oral health is directly related to heart health. Oral health also correlates with the health of the lungs. Toxins are said to travel in fat because they are lipophilic. Castor oil’s unique chemical structure makes it a magnet for toxins. Research has demonstrated the ability of castor oil to break down oral biofilm, a protective barrier created by detrimental bacteria in the microbiome. This makes it easier to eradicate “bad” bacteria and renders the environment more hospitable to healthy bacteria. Castor oil also helps with the reduction of inflammation of the gums, and with circulation via nitric oxide, which may beneficial to gum health when used for oil pulling. This is an easy practice to add to your morning/nighttime routine, before brushing your teeth. Use 3 pumps directly in to your mouth and swoosh with purpose, for 5 minutes, and spit. Repeat daily.
