I haven't been very active in the last years, however, that does not mean I have stopped using Pinterest and trying out new things. That being said, I will slowly be updating you with everything that I have done over the past years as well as recent things. For today I am sharing something that I had been reading about a lot but I had not ever tried: oil pulling. There are a lot of websites and people that swear by them and say they are extremely helpful. I did some research and looked through Pinterest for a recipe that caught my attention. And so I stumbled upon one that seemed like a perfect fit for what I was looking for.
The Pin is taken from a website called Mommy Potamus that has a lot of interesting DIY things you can make at home. You can find the whole article about these oil pulling chews here.
The ingredients are quite simple: coconut oil and turmeric powder. You also have the option of adding essential oils but that is not a must, I personally didn't have any around so I didn't add any to it. I'm pretty sure that if you added some essential oils to the mix, it will taste much better.
You melt the coconut oil and add the turmeric powder, plus the essential oil. Then you add one teaspoon to a tablespoon amount to an ice tray or a silicone candy tray (which is what I used). Then you put them in the fridge until they are hardened. Here are how mines looked like:
I stored them in a closed glass container to make sure no odors were absorbed by the tablets. Now, I have been trying these out for over a month now and I honestly HATE how they taste. They look so cute and smell delicious but once they are in your mouth...yeah it's not so yummy. However, I do admit I have not tried them with the essential oils so I want to do that with my next batch and then I can give my opinion on that. And another plus note on this is that I have noticed my teeth a lot whiter as well as my overall oral health a lot better as well.
Have you ever tried oil pulling? How was it like for you? Any tips?
