Oil Pulling for Dental Health and Heavy Metal Cleanse

Overview

Oil pulling, an Ayurvedic practice, involves swishing oil in the mouth to support oral health and potentially reduce heavy metal load, particularly from amalgam fillings containing mercury.

It’s critical to spit out the oil and not swallow to avoid reabsorbing toxins.

Oil pulling is like weeding the mouth’s garden,

Spitting out the oil ensures the weeds aren’t replanted, and supporting the lymphatic and glymphatic systems is like watering and nourishing the garden for vibrant health.

Oil Pulling for Dental Health

Oil pulling involves swishing a natural oil (e.g., coconut or sesame) in the mouth to remove bacteria, plaque, and potentially heavy metals like mercury from amalgam fillings, an oral health practice rooted in Ayurveda (Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine, 2020).

  • Dental Health: Reduces oral bacteria (e.g., Streptococcus mutans), plaque, and gingivitis, supporting gum and tooth health (Web:0). Mercury from amalgam fillings can leach into saliva, increasing systemic toxicity and EMR conductivity (Neurotoxicology, 2011).
  • Lymphatic/Glymphatic Support: By reducing oral toxin load, it eases the lymphatic system’s burden and supports glymphatic clearance during sleep, as oral health impacts brain health (Science, 2013).
  • Use organic coconut oil
  • Procedure: Swish 1 tbsp oil for 10–15 minutes daily, first thing in the morning, for 4–6 weeks.
  • Spit out into a trash can (not sink) to avoid reabsorbing toxins or clogging plumbing.
  • Rinse with warm water and brush teeth.

Additional Protocols

NAC, Wormwood, Chestnut, Artemisia, and Parasite Detox

Parasites (e.g., Giardia, Cryptosporidium from tap water) can harbor heavy metals, increasing toxicity and impairing lymphatic/glymphatic function (Web:4).

The following protocols address both heavy metals and parasites, supporting detoxification pathways.

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC):

NAC, a precursor to glutathione, is a powerful antioxidant that supports liver detox and may chelate heavy metals like mercury and lead (Web:3; Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 2019).

  • Heavy Metal Detox: Enhances glutathione production, binding metals for excretion, reducing lymphatic inflammation and glymphatic burden (Web:12).
  • Parasite Support: May reduce oxidative stress from parasitic infections, supporting gut health (Web:4).
  • Holistic Benefits: Supports Liver, Nutrition, and Nervous System; reduces EMR conductivity by lowering metal load (Frontiers in Public Health, 2014).
  • Potential Dosage: Take 600–1,200 mg daily (capsule) with food for 4 weeks, under health practitioner supervision.
  • Consult a naturopath for amalgam fillings; avoid high doses if prone to low blood pressure (Web:3).

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)

An antiparasitic herb used in traditional medicine to treat intestinal parasites like roundworms and Giardia, which may harbor heavy metals (Web:4; Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2013).

Parasite Detox: Eliminates parasites that accumulate metals (e.g., cadmium from tap water), reducing lymphatic and glymphatic stress (Web:4).

  • Heavy Metal Support: Supports liver detox, aiding metal excretion (Web:8).
  • Holistic Benefits: Enhances Nutrition and liver health
  • Potential Dosage: Take 100–200 mg (capsule or tea) daily for 2–3 weeks, under naturopath supervision.
  • Monitor: Track digestion or energy changes; stop if nausea occurs.

    Caution: Avoid long-term use or high doses (neurotoxic risk); consult for amalgam fillings (Web:4).

Chestnut (Horse Chestnut, Aesculus hippocastanum)

Horse chestnut extract supports lymphatic drainage and vascular health, though not a direct antiparasitic or chelator (Web:0).

  • Lymphatic Support: Improves lymph flow, aiding metal and parasite excretion, reducing edema (Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, 2009).
  • Heavy Metal/Parasite Support: Enhances circulation, supporting detox pathways for metals like aluminium (NHMRC, 2024).
  • Holistic Benefits: Supports Water and Nervous System.
  • Potential Dosage: Take 100–150 mg (standardized extract) daily for 4 weeks, under health practitioner supervision.
  • Monitor: Note swelling or energy changes.

Artemisia (Artemisia annua, Sweet Wormwood)

A potent antiparasitic herb used for malaria and intestinal parasites, also studied for anti-inflammatory properties (Web:4; Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2013).

  • Parasite Detox: Targets parasites like Giardia, which may harbor metals, reducing lymphatic/glymphatic burden (Web:4).
  • Heavy Metal Support: Supports liver detox, aiding metal excretion (Web:8).
  • Holistic Benefits: Enhances Nutrition and Nervous System.
  • Potential Dosage: Take 100–200 mg (capsule or tea) daily for 2–3 weeks, under health practitioner supervision.
  • Caution: Avoid long-term use; consult for amalgam fillings (Web:4).

Crossover into Parasite Detox and Supporting Herbs

Why Parasites Matter

Parasites like Giardia or Cryptosporidium, found in Australian tap water, can harbor heavy metals, increasing toxicity and impairing lymphatic drainage (edema) and glymphatic function (brain fog) (Web:4; Queensland Government, 2024).

Parasite detox reduces metal load, supporting detoxification pathways and EMR conductivity reduction (Frontiers in Public Health, 2014).


Additional Supporting Herbs:

  • Black Walnut: Antiparasitic, supports gut detox of metals and parasites (Web:4). Take 100–200 mg daily for 2–3 weeks, with 741 Hz. Caution: Avoid long-term use; consult for amalgam fillings (Web:4).
  • Clove: Kills parasite eggs, reducing reinfection; supports liver detox (Web:4). Take 100 mg daily for 2–3 weeks. Caution: Avoid high doses (irritation risk) (Web:4).
  • Milk Thistle: Enhances liver detox, supporting metal and parasite clearance (Web:8). Take 150–300 mg daily for 4 weeks, Caution: Consult for amalgam fillings (Web:8).
