We're pulling for ya!

hygeia has got your back... or should I say "mouth".

Oil pulling is an ancient remedy used to remove harmful bacteria in your mouth, whiten your teeth, freshen your breath and its thought to improve your overall oral health. The phrase “oil pulling” comes from the process of the oil being “worked” in the mouth by pulling, pushing, and sucking it through the teeth. As the oil hits your teeth and gums, microbes are picked up as though they are being drawn to a powerful magnet. Bacteria hiding under crevices in the gums and in pores and tubules within the teeth are sucked out of their hiding places and held firmly in the solution.

Using coconut oil for oil pulling has become increasingly popular, however hygeia packs a double whammy. We've combined a special mix of both coconut oil and sesame oil to provide an added element of detoxification.

Instructions: Swish one tablespoon of hygeia around in your mouth for 20 minutes. Spit oil out in trashcan, not the sink.

Cheat Code: 20 minutes can seem like a long time, and whew, the muscles in your mouth can get tired long before those 20 minutes are over. Try working your way up to 20 by swishing in 5 minute intervals.
