My neighbor had a lot of cavities in her teeth. She incorporated oil pulling into her daily routine, using a blend of different oils.

It also helps in remineralizing the teeth to some extent, which can slow down the progression of dental problems.
Fact. Oil pulling has been shown to have positive effects on oral hygiene. When you swish oil in your mouth, it can trap bacteria and other debris. It can lead to a reduction in plaque and may even improve gum health to some extent. But it's not as magical as some people claim it to be.
It's a combination. There is some truth to oil pulling. It has been used in some traditional medicine practices for a long time.

Her story is inspiring as it shows that with the right help, change is possible.

Oil pulling can have some unexpected and uncomfortable situations like this.
