Do experts in Ayurveda think pulling really works as a teeth whitener? It hasn t been studied, said Halpern. As for any downside, Halpern said some people feel a little nauseous when they swish.
For that he recommends using oil for just five minutes, not the 20 minutes some recommend, and using less oil if need be. Between a teaspoon and a tablespoon is fine.
There is no exact amount of oil that must be put in your mouth, he said. While Halpern said he believes swishing oil is safe, he recommends that people work with a trained and experienced Ayurveda practitioner to get a personalized prescription for the type of oil that best fits their needs and physical make-up.
Lydia Hall, a spokeswoman for the American Dental Association, said the association can t comment on oil pulling because additional research is needed.
