🪷 Dincharya Step 7: Gandoosha (Oil Pulling) 🌿
After cleansing the bowels, it’s time to nourish and protect your oral cavity.
Gandoosha is the Ayurvedic practice of holding a medicinal fluid in the mouth, without swishing, until secretions from the nose and eyes indicate detoxification. When the fluid is swished or moved, it is called Kabala (Gargling).
🌿 For Gandoosha: Use sesame or coconut oil daily, ghee or milk for burning, honey for ulcers, warm salt water for Kapha, Dhānyāmla for bad breath, and warm water for lightness.
✨ Benefits of Gandoosha:
✔️ Strengthens the jaws, chin, teeth, and facial muscles
✔️ Improves taste perception and appetite
✔️ Heals dryness, cracked lips, shaky teeth, receding gums, and bad breath
✔️ Useful in conditions like facial paralysis, stammering, and tongue weakness
✔️ Prevents oral diseases, improves sense organs, and supports overall head health
🌿 Make Gandoosha a gentle yet powerful part of your morning ritual.
Your mouth is the entryway to your health — cleanse it with care.
