Oil pulling

History :
In ancient times, the practice of oil (Thaila in Sanskrit) pulling was (Aabarah in Sanskrit) a popular Indian Ayurvedic treatment. 'Oil pulling' or oil swishing is a procedure that involves swishing oil in the mouth for oral and systemic health benefits. Oil pulling therapy with sesame oil has been used as a traditional Indian folk extensively for many years, without scientific evidence or proof, for strengthening gums, teeth and jaws and a remedy to prevent tooth decay, oral malodor, bleeding gums, dryness of throat and cracked lips.

Present :
The modern version of oil pulling was coined by Ukranian Physician, Dr. F. Karach during 1990's in USSR. after he experimented swishing oil in the above mentioned method and cured himself from a chronic blood disease. He further studied it, systematised it and propagated it across the world. Dr. Karach says: "With the oil therapy, I healed my chronic blood disease of fifteen years. With the use of this therapy, I was healed within three days of an acute arthrosis that had forced me to lie in bed".

F. Karach, M.D., presented a paper before the All-Ukrainian Association (http://www.idhayam.com/sesameoil/Dr.Karach.html). The meeting was attended by oncologists and bacteriologists belonging to the Academy of Science of the USSR. Dr. Karach explained an unusual simple healing process using cold-pressed oils.

The results of this therapy invoked astonishment and doubt concerning the contents of his report. It is said that this simple method of oil pulling treats various diseases, in some cases even enabling one to avoid surgical intervention and taking medications with harmful side effects. Self experimentation of this method by various enthusiasts have shown favourable results.

The exciting factor of this healing method is its simplicity. It consists of swishing cold-pressed vegetable oil in the mouth. The healing process is accomplished on its own.

In this way it is possible to heal cells, tissue and all organs simultaneously; the body rids itself of toxic waste without disturbing the healthy microflora. Dr. Karach says human beings are living only half their life span. They could potentially live to be 140 to 150 years old.

He claims that illnesses that can be effectively healed with the application of oil pulling therapy are: headaches, bronchitis, lung and liver conditions, toothache, thrombosis, blood diseases, arthrosis, paralysis, eczema, gastric ulcers, intestinal disorders, heart and kidney ailments, encephalitis, nervous conditions and female disorders.
