Surprising Potential Health Of Oil Pulling

Reduces Jaw Pain

Jaw pain is a tricky thing for many individuals. It tends to be a cumulative condition that results in persistent tightening of the temporomandibular joint, leading to chronic jaw tension. Oil pulling reduces jaw pain by supporting the inner mouth environment. Factors such as plaque, bacteria buildup, infections, and inflammation all affect the jaw. They may not be typically associated with one another, but being in such close proximity it is inevitable that they are affected by the neighboring neural networks, blood vessels, and tissues of the mouth. By relieving the inflamed conditions of the mouth through the increased oral hygiene that oil-pulling brings, some of the symptoms of jaw pain can be reduced. Tension may decrease, nerves that are hyper-stimulated may calm, and the sensitivity of the mouth that inflammation brings may reduce overtime with oil-pulling.
