Day 3 of oil pulling/ oil swishing
So this is day 3.
Its getting easier to keep the oil in my mouth for 15 min. It doesn't really taste like oil, its just a liquid in your mouth.
Umm, I broke out around my nose and chin a little. I don't know if its because of the oil pulling, because I have read that it can cause an acne breakout before it makes your skin better, or if its just because its almost my time of the month. I always break out right before TOM, however, these pimples were different then the usual ones I get, I don't want to get to into detail, because it grosses me out to talk about it, lol.
I did do it twice a day the last couple of days and I plan on doing it tonight again. During and after the swishing, I feel my throat is really dry, and I get really thirsty, and need to drink a glass of water after wards.
So my routine so far is: swish with 1 tbsp for 15min, rinse out with tap water, drink a glass of water, and then brush my teeth.
Now, I've read that it helps to whiten your teeth. My teeth are not whiter, yet, however, I don't know if its my imagination, or my teeth look polish? Like, I just got a teeth cleaning from the dentist. Who knows, its only been 6 times total so far.
My ankle pain, that I've have since about November is finally a lot less, but still there. Again, I don't know if it really is the oil pulling, however it is weird that all them things that I've read it helps, and the reasons why I started, are happening. But it could also be my mind playing tricks on me, lol.
Oh, and someone from work told me my skin was prettier! Its to early to tell for sure though. =/
