Alternative Healing
Cut for boring health stuff...
I have been doing an Ayurvedic technique called oil pulling since 7/31. Basically you swish or more accurately - suck about a tablespoon of oil through your mouth, teeth, and under the tongue - without swallowing - for 20 minutes when you first get up in the morning. Then you spit it out, rinse out your mouth going on with your day as usual, eating breakfast and all that.
Doing this is supposed to help out with all kinds of things health wise. I've been using sesame oil (not toasted) for this morning ritual, and so far it's been doable.
Then I received a big box of some other herbal goodies and supplements that I'm going to try as well. I look forward to a nice bath or foot soak tonight, I haven't decided which quite yet.
