3 Days of Oil Pulling

So I have done the oil pulling for the last 3 days. Other than my teeth being noticeably whiter so far I can't really tell a difference. My skin doesn't seem any better, my aches and pains, my insomnia (which comes and goes), or my psoriasis. But I am committed to giving it an entire week, but I did want to check it and update on my thoughts so far.

I would have thought sticking a spoonful of coconut oil in my mouth would make me dry heave. Honestly the thought of it (originally) grossed me out. Now honestly it only sickens me if I think of it as sticking a spoonful of lard in my mouth, which is pretty much what I pictured it would be like before I did it (not that I EVER stuck lard in my mouth). The texture of the oil when I first put it in my mouth is definitely not appealing. I don't like it. When it melts, it's not bad at all. Swishing it around in your mouth for 20 minutes does get tiring. I find myself constantly looking at the clock. I'm actually convinced time either stops or goes in reverse for part of the time. 

It's not too horrible where I wouldn't do it anymore, but after my week is up, if I don't see any changes other than whiter teeth, I probably won't continue on the daily routine. Maybe just once or twice a week.
