Humans have used animals to make glue for thousands of years. The oldest glue discovered was a collagen-based adhesive that was 8,000 years old and used to hold utensils together.
One of the side effects of oil pulling is a loss of appetite. While some claim they lose their appetite because they donât want to make their mouths dirty after going through 15 minutes of swishing the oil, there are others who claim that the entire process of oil pulling seems to dull their appetite.
Over the past few years I have heard a lot about oil pulling as a form of detoxification but never quite thought that swishing oil in my mouth would be that effective. Oil pulling is an Ayruvedic practice of pulling cold-pressed oil (like sesame oil) through your teeth for between 10-20 minutes in the morning.
