Abstract
Oil pulling is an ancient oral hygiene practice rooted in Ayurvedic medicine that involves swishing oil in the mouth to promote oral health and well-being. This practice has gained attention in modern times for its potential to improve oral hygiene, reduce plaque, and even enhance overall health. This review aims to explore the history, methods, scientific evidence, benefits, and limitations of oil pulling, particularly focusing on its efficacy in maintaining oral hygiene. Furthermore, the review addresses the mechanisms through which oil pulling may influence oral health and provides recommendations for its integration into modern oral care practices.
