8. Makes Teeth Whiter

This gets accomplished by a process known as “oil pulling” which is a part of Ayurvedic medical practice and has been around for more than 3000 years. In this process, you rinse your mouth by swishing around the gums and teeth one tablespoon of coconut oil for about 20 minutes. As the oil passes over the teeth and the gums, it draws out all the germs and bacteria from their hiding places and holds them in its grasp. The color of the oil turns milky after some time signifying that it contains these germs and bacteria. After the 20 minutes are over you spit out the oil and rinse your mouth with water to get whiter teeth.
