Oil pulling and On Guard/Clove Essential Oils

Have you ever heard of oil pulling? It's seriously fantastic. I'm going to tell you a story but first I want to explain what oil pulling is and how to do it.
An oil (I prefer coconut oil) is swished around your mouth, for 15-20 minutes. (NO LONGER THAN 20 MINUTES or the bacteria and toxins will be reintroduced into your body.) I haven't done it lately because I have been on the lazy train (Hey, I'm almost 9 months pregnant, it's allowed, right?) but when I was doing it my teeth were whiter and my mouth felt much cleaner! It pulls out toxins and bacteria as you swish, then you spit it into the trash and brush with water.
I prefer this coconut oil because it melts so quickly but as long as its organic you can use what you like best.

Now here is my little story. Well, it's a friend story but I'm using it:P
She has had a toothache for awhile. She has used prescription stuff for it, gone to the dentist, and nothing has seemed to help. Tonight she called my mom asking what to do for it essential oil wise. My mom told her about oil pulling and asked if she had clove oil (the recommended oil to do it with, clove is great for mouth health)

She did not though, so my mom thought about On Guard, which is one of doTERRA's blends that contains clove. She told her to swish the oil in her mouth with a couple drops of On Guard, once to twice a day until it feels better.
Seriously, less than an hour later she got a text that her friend's toothache is GONE! She can't wait for her next dentist appointment to let him know how she made it go away! She is telling everyone about it. Now, she should still oil pull to make sure her body is healing what caused the toothache but the pain is gone!!!

Isn't natural medicine amazing?! I would much rather swish some organic coconut oil and Clove/On Guard Essential oils to kill bad bacteria and keep good bacteria than use mouth wash with all the chemicals that kills both bad and good!
