The "juice" on the journey to an extraordinary life!!!

Oil pulling is a detoxification technique that originated in Ayurvedic medicine and has been practiced for thousands of years in India, China and Europe. Our mouths are home to billions of bacteria, viruses, fungi and their toxins. It is these germs that cause tooth decay and contribute to other serious health problems (e.g., heart disease). Oil pulling eliminates those toxins in a very simple way. First thing in the morning (on an empty stomach and before drinking anything), pour approximately one tablespoon of the vegetable oil of your choice into your mouth.* I know… It sounds …
