Pulling Fool!

Well, I don't have an April Fool's joke to pull on you. Yes, today is April Fool's! Does anyone ever really remember this day? Usually I do a day or two later.  It's a strange day, and I can't remember anyone ever trying to fool me with anything drastically crazy in the past. Not that I can recall anyway.

However, I do have an update on my Oil Pulling, no fooling! 


I have mostly been using coconut oil.  One day I used walnut, then realized it was toasted.  Not a good idea.  So I've stuck with coconut because I really like the light-subtle taste. Especially for first thing in the morning, prior to anything else. I only do this once per day.  I've read others doing it twice per day. Personal choice. I am happy to report that I haven't had any gag sessions, or gross experiences.  NOTE: Don't try to talk while pulling, you will dribble and possibly let out some drops on your shirt or floor!  Yes, I did that. 

TEETH

Although I haven't taken before/after photos of my teeth to show-off, I have seen a difference in them in these past two weeks of pulling.  I am very happy to report that, so I'm hoping for whiter in another two weeks.  I wish I could see, or feel a difference elsewhere, like in the list below. (This was in my original post.)  It would be great if it helped with bloating! Do I hear a 'heck yeah' from my girls? Maybe I didn't focus on these areas.  Maybe they seem too 'unrealistic'? They say some people have experienced these changes, so I'm going to stay positive and try to pay more attention to some of the items.  I'll keep you posted!

Other possible benefits of oil pulling for overall health include:

• Migraine headache relief
• Correcting hormone imbalances
• Reducing inflammation of arthritis
• May help with gastro-enteritis
• Aids in the reduction of eczema
• May reduce symptoms of bronchitis
• Helps support normal kidney function
• May help reduce sinus congestion
• Some people report improved vision
• Helps reduce insomnia
• Reduced hangover after alcohol consumption
• Aids in reducing pain
• Reduces the symptoms of allergies
• Helps detoxify the body of harmful metals and organisms



Do you have a good April Fool's story? Given or received?
