I want to do something called oil pulling, which apparently is common in India. It is suppose to help pull toxins out of the body and tends to improve tooth/gum health.
Anyway, I know that you're suppose to use either sunflower or sesame oil only for this, but I have encountered a small problem in finding one of these oils.
My question is:
Do I use cooking oil (like sunflower cooking oil or sesame cooking oil) for this or is there a specific "grade" of sesame or sunflower oil that I am suppose to be looking for?

If there are ANY toxins in your body, it will only come out of you through your bloodstream due to normal metabolism !!!!! Your cells will automatically try to expel anything that is not good for you, so the KEY to this is to NOT eat or drink things that are bad for you, not to breathe things that are bad for you, and not to put anything on you such as cosmetics that are bad for you!
What you are trying to find out is as bad as the myth that ground deer horn will improve the sexual capability of a male!!! How stupid! Get toxins out of you? Then eat proper foods, and exclude SALT and SUGAR and high FAT from your diet! Do not take herbal "remedies" because for the most part, the people who promote those myths as genuine "holistic medicine" do not know what they are talking about!
