Bring a Whole New Level of Vitality to Your Teeth and Gums with This Simple Ayurvedic Health Routine

With a tradition of use stretching back thousands of years, oil pulling can help dislodge oral wastes and debris, purify your mouth, freshen your breath, and support the health of your gums, all with one simple daily practice – and without chemicals.

Ola Botanicals^® Oil Pulling Rinse provides powerful natural support for oral health, helping to draw out impurities, remove wastes and nourish your mouth, bringing a whole new level of vitality to your teeth and gums.
Organic Oil Pulling Rinse helps purify and freshen your breath, without the harmful chemicals commonly found in most popular mouthwash products.
The medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) in Ola Botanicals^® Oil Pulling Rinse attract grime in your mouth in much the same way that oil in soap attracts dirt on your hands or your dirty dishes, supporting a beneficial balance of healthy flora in your mouth.

Our mission with Ola Botanicals^® is to bring you truly natural and organic personal care products that are as kind to the planet as they are to your body.

We’ve gathered some of the most celebrated botanicals from around the world to make personal care products with no synthetic chemicals or contaminants. You’ll never find strange ingredient names you can’t pronounce, and we use organically grown ingredients whenever possible to help provide a pure, effective clean daily – like Ola Botanicals^® Oil Pulling Rinse.

Oil pulling is a practice with literally thousands of years of history behind it. Ayurvedic practitioners in India use it to support healthy gums, improve bad breath and soothe dryness in the throat.

It also helps eliminate the toxins that your body disposes through your mouth at night. This detox process is what causes the coated feeling you have in your mouth in the morning.

Oil pulling is simple: First thing in the morning, place about a tablespoon of oil in your mouth – you can use sesame or coconut oil – and swish it around for 15 to 20 minutes. As you “pull” it between your teeth, over your tongue and around your gums, the oil attracts the wastes and debris in your mouth.

When you’re finished swishing, you spit the oil in the trash – not the sink, where it can clog up the pipes – and rinse your mouth with warm water.

This simple routine helps break down and carry away waste left on your teeth, reduce the bacteria that cause bad breath, soothe your gums and alleviate dry mouth.

Ola Botanicals^® Oil Pulling Rinse combines organic coconut oil with organic MCT oil – a concentrated extract of coconut oil – to create a natural mouth rinse with a consistently smooth, light texture and no highly processed or harmful ingredients.

It’s just one more way that Ola Botanicals^® gives you organic choices you can feel good about. For yourself and for the planet.

Why Organic Ingredients?

Just as you choose natural and organic foods to avoid toxins and potentially harmful chemicals in your diet, you do the same thing for your teeth and gums when you choose natural and organic oral care.

The inside of your mouth is lined with mucosa, a moist, highly-permeable lining that easily absorbs whatever comes in contact with it. Ingredients in oral care products, healthy or harmful, flow right through your mucosa into your bloodstream and organs, where they can eventually accumulate.

Just as with food, plant-based ingredients used in oral care can be contaminated with residues of pesticides and herbicides.

But even more concerning than that, oral care products like mouthwash can be loaded with petrochemicals and highly processed ingredients that are dangerous to swallow.

Made from nothing but Organic Coconut Oil and Organic MCT Oil, Ola Botanicals^® Oil Pulling Rinse is a safe, natural way to clean and freshen your mouth without exposing yourself to the risks of potentially harmful chemicals.

The ‘Dirty Dozen’ Mouthwash Ingredients to Avoid

Did you know that one in eight of the more than 82,000 ingredients used in personal care products are industrial chemicals, including carcinogens, pesticides, hormone disruptors and reproductive toxins?

People have been using mouthwashes of one kind or another for thousands of years. It seems that everyone likes to have a mouth that feels clean and breath that doesn’t knock our friends out.

But modern mouthwash products are often loaded with chemicals that can have side effects like dry mouth, canker sores and increased tartar.

And if you accidentally swallow some, you could end up feeling queasy… or worse, taking a trip to the emergency room.

Here are some of the many potentially harmful ingredients being used in today's skincare products:

Propylene glycol

A popular ingredient used as a thickener in personal care products, it provides sweetness and prevents products from drying out. It also carries allergy, immunotoxicity and organ system toxicity concerns.
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)

A petrochemical used to provide foaminess and a creamy texture, this chemical is rated “high” with the Environmental Working Group (EWG) for potential contamination and “moderate” for organ toxicity concerns.
Ethanol

A major risk if swallowed, ethanol dries out the moist film that supports your mouth’s microbiome. It can potentially increase abnormal cell growth, contribute to canker sores and damage dental fillings.
Parabens

A family of preservatives, these petrochemical endocrine disruptors mimic the action of estrogen and can drive tumor growth. They have been found in samples of breast cancer tissue. They have the potential to irritate the mouth and lips.
Phthalates

These endocrine-disrupting petrochemicals have the potential to harm not only healthy hormonal balance but also the environment.
Triclosan

An antibacterial agent added to oral care products to help kill germs, triclosan is suspected of contributing to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. When triclosan mixes with the chlorine in your tap water, it forms chloroform, which the EPA has classified as a probable human carcinogen.
Sodium Fluoride

A major risk if swallowed, this common ingredient is rated as high risk for skin and lung irritation by the EWG. It has the potential to cause tooth discoloration and skin irritation in sensitive individuals.
1,4-Dioxane

Identified by the EPA as a “probable carcinogen,” this toxic byproduct is a common contaminant in a wide range of personal care products, including all those with ingredients ending in “eth.” Dioxane is linked to skin and eye irritation, organ toxicity, endocrine disruption and reproductive and developmental toxicity.
Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate (SLS/SLES)

Although SLS originates from coconuts, the manufacturing process results in contamination with dioxane. The EWG lists it as carrying moderate risk for organ system toxicity and skin and lung irritation.
Methylisothiazolinone

This antimicrobial preservative releases formaldehyde – a known carcinogen and central nervous system irritant – as it breaks down over time.
BHT

This preservative is linked to cancer and can cause allergies, endocrine disruption, reproductive and organ system toxicity, and irritation of the skin, eyes and lungs.
Chlorhexidine

Included in prescription mouthwash formulas, this powerful antibacterial chemical can kill the good bacteria, along with the bad, harming your oral microbiome. It can stain teeth and may actually increase tartar formation.

The products you use to clean and freshen your mouth shouldn’t expose you to health risks. And what washes down the drain shouldn’t harm the earth either.

But the synthetic chemicals in popular toothpaste and mouthwash do just that, both exposing you to potential health risks and contributing to the toxic burden on the earth.

Instead of a cocktail of potentially harmful synthetic ingredients like these, Ola Botanicals^® Oil Pulling Rinse uses just two simple ingredients – Organic Coconut Oil and Organic MCT Oil – to naturally clean your teeth and gums and support vibrant oral health.

Ola Botanicals^® Oil Pulling Rinse – Good for Your Teeth and Gums, Good for Our Planet

Ola Botanicals^® Oil Pulling Rinse offers a natural, effective way to help achieve optimal oral health without potentially toxic synthetic chemicals.

Ola Botanicals^® makes nature its strategic partner, with each bottle of this organic, cruelty-free Oil Pulling Rinse featuring organic coconut oil that proactively nourishes your mouth and helps dispose of wastes while considering the environment.

Oil pulling doesn’t replace tooth brushing. It simply complements it.

Different types of wastes naturally collect in your mouth at night and during the day. When you brush your teeth or swish with water, it helps clean out the hydrophilic wastes, the substances that dissolve in water.

When you swish with Ola Botanicals^® Oil Pulling Rinse on the other hand, it helps clean out the lipophilic gunk – the substances that dissolve in lipids, such as oil.

Coconut oil is the ideal oil for this age-old practice because:

It supports a beneficial balance of healthy mouth flora.
It contains three valuable medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs): caprylic, capric and lauric acids, that readily cross cell membranes.
Its cleansing action intensifies as it’s broken down into its fatty acid-building blocks under the vigorous force of swishing.
It tastes better and feels less greasy in your mouth than many other oils.

If swishing for 15 to 20 minutes first thing in the morning seems too long, try doing it while you shower and shave, check your email or walk the dog.

When you finish, spit the oil in the trash – not the sink, where it can clog up the pipes. Rinse your mouth with warm water, and brush your teeth as usual. You should experience a clean, smooth feeling in your mouth.

Coconut Oil and MCT – the Perfect Combination for a Light, Smooth Rinse

Coconut oil has just one drawback – texture. When the temperature goes below 76 degrees, it gets chunky – not the most pleasant feeling in your mouth. So, we combined our organic coconut oil with organic MCT oil.

About 62 to 65% of the fatty acids that make up coconut oil are MCTs, or Medium-Chain Triglycerides. These oils can be extracted from coconut oil by a process called fractionation, which separates out the different types of oils in the coconut.

When MCT oil is combined with coconut oil, it creates a light, smooth consistency that stays liquid at room temperature.

If you’d like to step up your oil-pulling experience, try adding one drop of Organic Lemon, Orange or Peppermint Essential Oil or our Ola Botanicals^® Tulsi-Mint Toothpaste for a dash of aromatic flavor.

Ola Botanicals^® Oil Pulling Rinse not only benefits your mouth without risking your health, but it also helps protect the environment from the effects of petrochemicals. It is renewable and biodegradable, making it as good for the earth as it is for your oral health.

How to Navigate Labels – “Organic” and “Natural”

Unfortunately, you can't depend on the words "organic" and "natural" on body care product labels to protect you from potentially toxic chemicals.

According to a report by the Organic Consumers Association, the word "organic" is not regulated with personal care products as it is with food products.

Some personal care products with “organic” on the label may contain only a single-digit percentage of organic ingredients. Other products may use synthetic ingredients, or ingredients that are derived from natural sources, but then highly processed so they contain potentially toxic compounds.

Protecting yourself can require sharp detective work.

Learn to read labels carefully so you can steer clear of hazardous substances in your bath and shower products, and instead look for products with truly organic, unprocessed botanical ingredients.

Certified USDA Organic Oil-Pulling Rinse – Made for You, from Nature

We’ve combined two of the finest organic oils available to bring you a powerful, plant-based mouth rinse backed by thousands of years of traditional use.

There’s no need to settle for a cocktail of toxic synthetic chemicals and alcohol to have a clean mouth and fresh breath, or to try oil pulling with that chunky coconut oil in your cupboard. Ola Botanicals^® Oil Pulling Rinse was specially designed with a light, smooth texture for an easy rinse.

This purposeful rinse supports your normal, healthy oral microbiome by carrying out wastes and nourishing your gums.

And it does more than just help clean your mouth and freshen your breath. It actively benefits your mouth with a boost of hydrating fatty acids while being kind to our planet.

FAQ

1. What is the benefit of oil pulling? Can’t I accomplish the same clean mouth results simply by brushing my teeth?

Oil pulling reaches between your teeth and into the deep crevices of your gums to spots that your toothbrush can’t reach.

Oil pulling shouldn’t replace tooth brushing, but it can greatly enhance the health and cleanliness of your mouth beyond what tooth brushing can do.
2. What should I do with the used oil once I’m done pulling?

Don’t swallow it. It’s full of wastes that have been pulled from your mouth. When you’re done, spit it out in a trash can. Don’t spit it into your sink or your toilet – repeated spitting of used oil has the potential to cause plumbing issues.
3. Are there any conditions that would preclude me from using Ola Botanicals^® Oil Pulling Rinse?

Only one: If you are allergic to coconut, do not use this rinse. Other than that, oil pulling is a perfectly safe, non-invasive practice that’s been used for thousands of years.
