Your oral microbiome impacts your memory, cancer risk, immune system, and cardiovascular health (and more!) long before your teeth suffer. To objectively know if your oral care practices are working, order a simple saliva test from www.BristleHealth.com and use the discount code VITALITY10 to save ten percent on your entire order.  Balancing your oral microbiome is essential if you want to run and play!

Oil Pulling is an ancient mouth cleansing practice and there is no “one way” to accomplish it.  Here is my method:

• 1 teaspoon organic Coconut Oil
• 3 to 4 drops Nigella sativa (aka Black Seed Oil)
• Swish vigorously for as long as possible - ideally at least five minutes.
• For the “research” that I did on myself, I swished for about ten minutes.
• Spit it out in the trash can. 
• I did this for 30 days between testing to evaluate the effectiveness and was astounded at my results. 
• It’s so interesting to take a before and after saliva test!
