Has anyone used this for oil pulling?

Yes, my husband and I have been oil pulling with EV coconut oil for about three months. Every morning we swish with coconut oil for about 20 min. It took us a couple of tries to get used to it, but now I couldn't do without it. It leaves my mouth feeling healthy and clean. I can't really vouch for any specific health benefits so far, but believe it is good for us. We dispose of the used oil in the garbage can and then rinse thoroughly. My husband also follows it with a warm water, lemon juice and coconut oil drink after rinsing.

For those who don't know what this is (such as myself): From Wikipedia, The practitioner rinses the mouth with approximately one tablespoon of oil for 15-20 minutes on an empty stomach (before eating/drinking) then spits it out[6] and washes the teeth, gums, tongue (softly) and palate thoroughly. Cold pressed (raw) oil is critical to the (alleged) effectiveness. Sesame oil, sunflower oil, and coconut oil[7] are the most recommended. Oil pulling is usually recommended to be done first thing in the morning, followed by rinsing the mouth with (sea salt) salt water and then brushing the teeth in a normal, morning routine.

I use it for oil pulling, cooking, homemade hair and body products, etc.,... I love this coconut oil.

I do, I do! Lol, I use it almost every morning for 15-20 minutes. Our house is a bit cool in the mornings so it's hard when I scoop it out with a soup spoon, but after about 20 seconds it's all liquid. In case you haven't done oil pulling before make sure not to swallow ANY of it and don't spit it out in your sink. It will cause your sink to clog when it gets under 74 degrees. I spit mine out in the toilet. Hope this helps, and my unsolicited advice is always free. ;)

Get oil pulling with sunflower oil or coconut oil but they say if you have a lot of mercury fillings it's not good to do it.

I am just trying coconut oil for oil pulling (have the oil in my mouth for the first time right now!). I have read people having fabulous results...

Yes, and it works great. It has made a big difference in the health of my teeth. It took a little while to get the hang of oil-pulling, but now I do it without thinking while I do the dishes, cook, etc. I stopped for a while, and started having pain in some teeth again. When I started pulling again, my teeth got better. My dentist noticed the improvement. I add a drop or two of OregaDENT to the oil when I oil-pull; it has clove, cinnamon, and oregano oils. It makes my oil-pulling even more effective. (I bought it here on Amazon.) Be sure to spit the oil out in your garbage, not your sink. After pulling, I rinse with warm salt water and then brush. If I don't have time to oil-pull, I use a little coconut oil, baking soda, and an drop of the OregaDENT as toothpaste. Coconut oil is also a wonderful oil for massage. When I read the long paragraph of ingredients (loaded with chemicals) in the oil I was being massaged with, I switched to coconut oil and loved it! The gal who does the massages loves it too, and is using it now with other customers.

Why spit it in the trash? Spit it in your compost or outside--give the nutrients back to nature instead of landfills!

Yep. This is the oil I use. It works wonders for my sinuses when I start to get a sinus infection. I much prefer this to any other oil.

I haven't had any trouble with this tool. Pulls the different type of bearings that i use.

Yes, I've used it a few times. Mainly for smaller bearings and races. Worked fine each time.

No, I haven't. I did use it to remove latex paint from a metal doorsill! It worked great.

No, I have only used this for drawing out motor oil from the crankcase of engines.

Your last pull through you oil the squeege and it will leave a fine coat of oil. The only draw back for this product is that it is slow to use.

I have been using Liquid Wrench, available at most hardware stores, and maybe here on Amazon too though I haven't checked. It is similar to 3-N-1, a common household light oil which I believe will work just as well. All you want is lubrication. Nothing to heavy, just a light oil to help clear the hair and let the blades slide across each other easily. I believe either oil will work just as well.

Yes it does. It is easy to pull too. I found out it doesn't like ethanol based gas very much, so try to use the 'good' stuff.

this handy one is amazing. it really does bring the oils to your hair. and it still detangles really well:-)

Mine has not held up very well just using it to take water out of a birdbath. Personally I wouldn't use it for any oil, lubricants or gas. Years ago I had one that looked the same that was used for kerosene but it was much better quality and it worked great. This one is pretty flimsy.

Grey Beard makes another pump model called The Baron, which is designed for oil. That model should work for your need.

I used this as an oral supplement---took a couple teaspoons by mouth daily. I did refridgerate it. I suppose it would eventually go rancid out of the refridgerator, but if you used it on skin after bathing, you would probably use it up before this became a problem. I do not know what oil pulling is.

I just tried it with my "off" hand and it works fine. You really don't have to pull that hard, its nice and smooth.

theoretically you could use this to pressurize a sealed jug to expel oil through a hose. Think reverse brake bleed. However, given finding a suitable jug to withstand pressure, relatively light duty of the pump, and fabrication, chances would be 50/50 optimistically. Some gear oil jugs come with hand pumps that work well as I suspect you are aware. I do know that large oil syringes exist but the one I have called a "mix mizer" would be too slow and tedious to use for the amount and thickness of gear oil necessary for a differential service. Would be an interesting experiment though.

I have not had trouble oiling the chain. I just put oil in the reservoir and on occasions squirt some directly on the chain. This is a great piece of equipment.

Yeah works pretty good. It gets tighter the more pressure you put on it. As long as the pulley Is clean and not covered in coolant it should work fine. I use it to hold pulleys all the time

I did. The engine eventually seized up - and the crankcase was full of oil. This trimmer was heavy - hard to start - rough running - cumbersome - a total waste of my money. DO NOT BUY THIS TRIMMER!!
