I had never heard of it until just a couple of weeks ago, but I pinned it on pinterest and sort of forgot about it. I've been feeling much better from the horrible evening that I had on Friday - just a little lingering congestion and a tickly throat that makes me cough. But I hate being congested. I revisited my pin and saw that it's supposed to not only help kill bacteria in the mouth, but it detoxes the lymph system and clears congestion. It can't hurt to try. So I put about a teaspoon of coconut oil in and gave it a good 6 minutes of swishing, swirling, pushing, and pulling. I would have done it longer, but that's all I had. My nose did run a little by the end, but nothing major. However, within about 15 minutes I started clearing some gnarly stuff out of my system. I was blowing so much crap out of my nose that it was actually shocking to me - and it was crazy thick and disgusting. I was coughing up the same stuff.
And the rest of the day I was able to breathe clearly from both nostrils. A.MAZING.
I still have the tickly throat that makes me cough, but my face feels so much more clear! I am just beginning to get a little of the congestion back, so I may try it again tonight before bed ... but I will certainly be doing it again in the morning ... and it may just become part of my regular routine.
