Oil pulling is an alternative medical practice in which an edible oil is swished around the mouth for a period of time and then spat out, similar to mouthwash.[1] It originates from Ayurvedic medicine.
Practitioners of oil pulling claim it is capable of improving oral health.[2] Its promoters claim it works by pulling out toxins,[1] but there is no credible evidence to support this.[1][3][4][5]
