that's a good question -- I'd like to know how it works too. Maybe the oil enzymes draw out impurities from the blood vessels and tissues.

All I know is that I'm still oil pulling and since I started I still havn't had any breakouts in the least on my face as I normally do every month before my Period. None whatsoever!

And I just got another compliment on the whiteness of my teeth - and an employee told me that my skin was georgous and wants to know what im doing different! (*smiles*)

Right now Im using Hexane free cold pressed castor oil to oil pull. I also only do it once a day after brushing my teeth and only for about 10 minutes. The experts in this say do it for 20 minutes, but I dont' have the time in the morning to hold up the bathroom that long ..lol. Nevertheless, I still see and feel results just from swishing the oil in my mouth for 9-10 minutes once a day.
