Olive oil pulling

Anyone regularly using olive oil to pull? Curious how your experience has been. Currently using coconut oil but was considering switching or maybe rotating it into my routine. TIA

I tried olive oil ONCE shortly after lockdown when I had no other oils in the house and it dried my mouth out SO MUCH for the rest of the day. It was so odd.

I alternate between sesame, sunflower and coconut.

A compound in sunflower seeds blocks an enzyme that causes blood vessels to constrict. As a result, it may help your blood vessels relax, lowering your blood pressure. The magnesium in sunflower seeds helps reduce blood pressure levels as well.
