I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect for this to work at all. I’ll be even more honest, I literally rolled my eyes while swishing this around during my first try because I thought it was a pointless endeavor. I have been dealing with a very inflamed gum line for years now and, to make matters worse, they have begun receding over the last year. The receding isn’t anything major, but it’s been enough to throw me into an anxious fit. I refuse to step foot into a dentist office until I’m fully vaccinated, so I’ve been forced to seek other treatment options. I have tried numerous mouth washes and rinses, to no avail. I even stepped up my game with flossing, brushing, and purchased more high-end products. Still, no noticeable improvement (I’m positive the frequent brushing and flossing has helped me, don’t get me wrong, but the visible symptoms remained the same). Finally, I did a little extra research and found a few articles on Pulling Oil. Figured, “What do I have to lose?” Purchased a single bottle, expecting to throw it out in a week or two. Now? I’m on the verge of purchasing another bottle, assuming the improvement continues with the rest of this first one (I'm a little over halfway done).To be more specific with the improvements: My gum line is still inflamed, but the shade of red has reduced significantly. The first day, I only used the product for two minutes before spitting, then five minutes the following day, and then ten minutes every day afterward. I began using this exactly one week ago, so the fact that the inflammation is already going down has been a pleasant surprise. Not only that, but little areas of my gums are beginning to slowly re-connect with my teeth. I can tell it’s a slow process that will take time, but I’m just pleased to see a process happening at all.My breath also no longer smells, something I have always been self-conscious about. If I had one con, it's that my teeth haven't gotten whiter in any way. Whether this changes, who knows, but I didn't buy it for that purpose (there are great teeth whitening pens for that).My recommendation: Be patient! It took five days before I noticed even the slightest difference, then two days more before I really saw any actual improvement. If you’re hoping to see great results fast, you’re setting yourself up for failure and disappointment. Give it time, use it once a day for ten minutes, and don't take a day off. Swishing this stuff around in your mouth for ten minutes a day can be tedious, but you’ll get used to it after two or three days. I’m always pleased when it goes into my mouth dark, then comes out a much lighter shade. The taste isn't the best, but it's not so bad that I can't tolerate it, and it smells nice (I accidentally spilled a few drops on my bathroom counter and it made the entire bathroom smell great). Also, make sure you’re practicing other good oral health habits. I bought an Oral-B electric brush and use it twice a day for three minutes after lunch and dinner with Sensodyne toothpaste (note: wait at least thirty minutes after eating before you brush, as brushing immediately after is bad for the enamel). I also purchased sensitive brush heads. I floss directly after every meal and snack using Oral-B Glide floss picks (in my experience, that brand of floss picks pull out debris better than other picks or standard string floss), and clean my tongue with a stainless-steel tongue scraper I also bought from Amazon (I use it three times a day, six to eight scrapes per use). I don’t rinse my mouth after brushing because it removes a lot of the paste, I just spit well and wipe the outside of my mouth, then scrape off toothpaste from my tongue using the scraper. But DO spit out AND rinse the Pulling Oil right after using. Also, I always use the oil after flossing but before brushing, as the directions instruct.I’ll be updating this in a week or two when I finish the bottle (I know a lot of people say this and never do, but you can bet on it). For now? Five stars.--UPDATE #1 - April 7th, 2021.Exactly one week later and I bring good news! Inflammation has continued to go down, leaving me with a very dark shade of pink at the gum line, as opposed to full-on red, and I actually think this product might stop me from using the term 'inflammation' in a matter of weeks. There was a strange two-day period where it looked like my gums were somehow starting to regress, but the following day suddenly showed really fantastic results. It seems like when the changes kick in, they *really* kick in. My teeth have also gotten a little whiter since my last review, but only slightly. I still wouldn't use this for teeth whitening, if that's your main objective, but that's just me. My gums also hurt so much less when I brush. If the good results continue, I definitely see myself making this a regular part of my oral hygiene routine. As someone who thought I would toss this in the trash after a week and move on to other products, I'm stoked. Again, five stars

I tried this after seeing it on social media and reading reviews.I have Sjogrebs syndrome, so I don't produce enough saliva which takes a toll on my teeth/ gums.This stuff is leaves a gentle mint on the breath,and I feel less dry after using it.I thought it might"feel" gross but it doesn't.I'll use it awhile to see if it delivers the improvements to my dentition, and then uodate the review.

This was awful. As soon as I opened the package, the box of the product was beat up, torn, broken and the oil was very dusty. I don’t know what the heck happened but it scares me to use the product, at this point I don’t know where this really came from.
