While there is limited scientific research on the specific benefits of oil pulling with coconut and peppermint, there are some studies that suggest that oil pulling in general may have potential benefits for dental health. Here are a few examples:

1. A study published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine found that oil pulling with sesame oil was effective in reducing the levels of bacteria associated with gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) in the mouth. While this study did not specifically use coconut or peppermint oil, it suggests that oil pulling with various types of oil may have beneficial effects on oral health.

2. Another study published in the Nigerian Medical Journal found that oil pulling with coconut oil was effective in reducing plaque buildup on the teeth. While this study did not specifically use peppermint oil, it suggests that coconut oil may be a beneficial oil to use for oil pulling.

3. A review article published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine concluded that oil pulling may have potential benefits for overall oral health, including reducing the risk of cavities, improving bad breath, and reducing inflammation in the gums. While this review did not specifically focus on coconut or peppermint oil, it suggests that oil pulling in general may be a beneficial practice for dental health.

It's worth noting that more research is needed to fully understand the benefits of oil pulling with specific types of oil and additives, such as coconut and peppermint oil, for dental health. However, these studies suggest that oil pulling in general may have potential benefits for reducing bacteria, plaque buildup, and inflammation in the mouth.

Suggested use: Swish 1 tbsp in your mouth for 2- 20 minutes to remove toxins, particles, and debris from your mouth. Spit into the trash can when finished. Rinse, then finish your daily routine. Great for persistent bad breath and dry mouth
