What is oil pulling?

Black Oil Mouthwash is based on the 5000-year old Ayurvedic tradition of swishing oil between your teeth in an effort to detoxify your mouth and your entire body. Today, we call it oil pulling and it’s getting a lot of lip service for its health and beauty perks. Part of the allure is in it’s simplicity to improve your oral health and detoxify your body, all with just the swishing a little oil in your mouth. Because, as it turns out, the plaque on your teeth is fat-soluble and the lipids in the oil will break down and absorb the toxic debris and bad bacteria left lingering after regular brushing and flossing.

According to ancient texts, it is said to cure over 30 systemic diseases. Oil pullers around the world have experienced clearer skin, whiter teeth, healthier gums, some weight loss, thicker hair, less plaque & cavities, increased energy, fresh breath, reduced symptoms of TMJ, better sleep, reduction in hot flashes, improved sinus health, and even cured hangovers!

The theory behind oil pulling is an interesting one. Since the mucosa tissue in your mouth is oil permeable, it is thought that the swishing stimulates an exchange through your cheeks and while your sucking and pulling the oil through your teeth, you are also pulling the toxins out of your blood through your cheeks. When you spit out the oil, you are spitting out the toxins.

If you’ve ever tried oil pulling, you may have found the experience to be less than pleasant and that’s why you’ll love Black Oil Mouthwash. It makes swishing with oil a pleasant task with it’s sweet taste and luscious texture. It’s not too thick or abrasive, but you’ll feel the texture of the activated charcoal powder flowing between your teeth as you swish. It feels like little washcloths scrubbing between your teeth in places you know your toothbrush will never reach, it’s wonderful!

Common Questions and Concerns Answered:

Do you have a video to tell me more?

Yes! If you scroll down the page just a little bit, you'll see a video entitiled "What is Black Oil Mouthwash". You'll get to meet Lisa, the maker, and learn a bit more about the product.

Will it make my teeth black?

Not at all! The black color of the mouthwash is from the activated charcoal powder that is added to the oil. If you have any black residue on your teeth after spitting, it is the charcoal powder gently clinging to existing plaque or setting in crevasses. and that means you just need to spit a little more to get it all out. It will however stain anything fabric such as clothing, towels, shower curtains, and bath mats, so be careful with it.

Is it thicker than regular mouthwash?

Yes. If you've never swished with oil before, it may take a minute to get used to this new texture. It's also feels thicker because of the powders (charcoal and xylitol) that are added to the oil. These powders tend to sink to the bottom of the bottle, so that's why you need to shake it before using it. As you swish, the xylitol powder dissolves in your saliva (thinning the mouthwash), but the charcoal will not. These powders give Black Oil Mouthwash its unique texture that you can feel flowing between your teeth. These powders are non-abrasive, yet feel like you're getting a good scrubbing between your teeth.

How long should I swish for?

This answer varies depending on what your goal is. If you are looking for the oil pulling, full body detox, then 20 minutes a day is suggested. If you just want whiter teeth, healthier gums, and less plaque, you certainly can swish for less time than that, say 5-10 minutes. It also depends on the condition of your mouth, but the longer the plaque has been sitting there, the longer it's going to take to get it off. If you tend to accumulate plaque quickly, brushing with Black Oil Mouthwash can give you faster results.

Do my gums really need to be moisturized?

Yes! All the mucosa tissues of your body crave oil and readily absorb it. Try to think of it this way, if the skin on your hand was very chapped and you submerged your hand in water, you would not feel the chapping anymore, it would feel smooth. In a similar way, your gums are coated in saliva, so you can't notice that they are dry and chapped. The only way to tell is when your gums start to go from a healthy light pink color to a more red color. You may also have bleeding gums, which is a sure sign that they need to be moisturized. Luckily, this condition clears up very quickly when you swish with oil.

Can I spit it out in the sink?

Yes you can, but remember, it could be a little messy. Be careful of splattering and keep hot water running to facilitate it going down the drain. The oil will not solidify and clog pipes. To avoid any potential problem, you can also spit it into a trash can. After you use it a few times, you'll find what works best for you.

Should I rinse after using?

It's not really recommended to rinse after. You want to keep a little oil residue in your mouth to moisturize your gums. If you must rinse, do it sparingly.

Should I brush my teeth before or after using it?

You don't have to, but brushing (and flossing) before using it helps the mouthwash do a more efficient job. If you find yourself in a situation where you are unable to use a toothbrush, Black Oil Mouthwash will do an excellent job of making your mouth feel clean by removing the plaque film that's accumulated on your teeth throughout the day.

Can kids use it?

Yes! We use all natural and safe ingredients and there are lots of kids using it. The only issue is spilling and splattering.

What if I swallow some?

Don't worry, everybody swallows some while they swish and it's perfectly safe because of the great ingredients.

Is there any downside to using Black Oil Mouthwash?

Yes. It's potentially messy, you need to shake it before you use it, and it's a little pricey because it's handmade in small batches. Other than that, it's the greatest mouthwash you'll ever try!
