Oil pulling is a powerful detoxifying Ayurvedic technique that has recently become very popular as a CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) remedy for many different health ailments. Using this method, surgery or medication could be prevented for a number of chronic illnesses. The oil therapy is preventative as well as curative.
