Just to add to what Amanda said, you have to use extra virgin or cold expeller pressed oils. Do not use just any oil. Also most cites say to do it for 15-20 minutes if you can. I just started again with unrefined sesame oil. This is not just a one time thing although people notice a difference on the first day. I did it for two weeks and started to feel bad and quit. After doing more reading, feeling bad is a sign that the oil is working and getting rid of the problem. I just started again two days ago and this time I will continue through the feeling bad until I feel good again. They say some conditions can take up to a year to cure but for many sinus and tooth problems seem to clear up in a few days. I had a clogged ear too and that is gone.

Best of luck, Abby
