Brand Name: UMA OILS

The Ayurvedic ritual of Oil Pulling has been practiced in India for centuries, and the way we supercharge it at UMA is by bringing in vital oral-health ingredients that take its already superlative benefits to the absolute next level! The result is a highly efficacious oil pulling treatment that draws out toxins, freshens breath and whitens teeth from the very first use – and with its pleasing flavor profile featuring mint and clove, it will delight as much during its use, as it will with its results.

Swishing oil around in the mouth is an ancient Ayurvedic practice for promoting oral cleanliness, ridding ama (excess impurities and toxins), freshening breath, and even whitening the teeth. It can also feel like a massage on the gums and tongue. Our blend starts with a base of Sesame and Coconut oils and includes Neem, Clove oil and Turmeric, beloved Ayurvedic ingredients for oral health. The touch of Peppermint oil leaves a lasting cooling note to freshen breath.

Key Ingredients:

• Neem: A purifying herb, Neem is celebrated in Ayurvedic oral care and is believed to help withsalivary secretion and anti-plaque activity within the mouth. Neem can also wield antibacterial action to promote better oral health.
• Clove: Eugenol, a key component of clove oil, has been widely used in dentistry since the 19th century for oral care. The Ayurvedic oral staple - clove - wields protective benefits through eugenol, and can help with management of oral pain.
• Turmeric: Turmeric is beloved in Ayurveda, and recent studies have shown it can wield anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties due to its curcumurin content. The curcumurin in turmeric can greatly improve oral health.
• Peppermint: A great addition to oral care, peppermint freshens breath and can help aid in gum health.
• Coconut Oil: Due to its high percentage of lauric acid (with proven anti inflammatory and antimicrobial effects), coconut oil is a celebrated oil-pulling agent, and studies have shown that it can lead to a significant decrease in the plaque and gingival indices.
• Sesame Oil: Sesame oil contains sesamin, sesamolin and sesaminol and has detoxification, antioxidant, and antibiotic actions. Oil pulling with sesame offers several oral health benefits, and can also have beneficial effects on overall health.
