Scrolling through TikTok, I kept seeing rave reviews about oil pulling. With everyone from influencers to regular users swearing by it, I had to see what all the fuss was about. So, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and give this viral sensation a try — and now I’m hooked.
I love it when a viral trend is actually worth it. Read on to see why using GuruNanda Coconut & Peppermint Pulling Oil is now part of my morning routine.
First Impressions
When I first got my hands on the GuruNanda Coconut & Peppermint Pulling Oil I read the ingredients and the blend of coconut and peppermint oil sounded like a refreshing twist on traditional oil pulling. I was excited to see how it would feel and taste.
Opening the bottle, the scent wasn't overpowering, which was a relief because I didn't want to feel like I was swishing mouthwash. The consistency of the oil was smooth and not too thick, making it easy to pour and measure out the right amount.
How It Works
For those who are new to oil pulling, it's an ancient Ayurvedic practice that involves swishing oil in your mouth for 10-20 minutes to remove toxins and improve oral health. The idea is that the oil "pulls" out impurities and bacteria, leaving your mouth cleaner and your breath fresher.
GuruNanda's version combines the benefits of coconut oil — known for its antimicrobial properties — with peppermint oil, which adds a refreshing flavor and helps combat bad breath.
The instructions recommend using one tablespoon of oil, swishing it around your mouth for 10-20 minutes, and then spitting it out. It's best done on an empty stomach, preferably first thing in the morning.

Results
After incorporating oil pulling into my routine for a couple of weeks, I started noticing some impressive changes. My teeth looked noticeably whiter, which was the first thing I was hoping for. The oil pulling seemed to lift surface stains and brighten my smile without any sensitivity, unlike some whitening products.
My breath was consistently fresher throughout the day, even after meals. The lingering peppermint flavor gave me a clean, fresh feeling every morning. I also noticed that my gums felt healthier. Oil pulling can also help reduce plaque buildup and I could tell my oral hygiene was improving with regular use.

Cons
- Time Commitment: Swishing oil for 10-20 minutes can feel like a long time, especially on busy mornings. It's not always easy to find a quiet moment to dedicate to oil pulling.
- Initial Adjustment: If you're not used to oil pulling, the texture and sensation can be a bit strange at first. It took me a few days to get comfortable with the process.
- Storage: The oil can solidify in cooler temperatures, making it harder to pour. I had to warm the bottle slightly in warm water on chilly mornings.
Bottom Line
GuruNanda Coconut & Peppermint Pulling Oil is a fantastic addition to any oral hygiene routine. It lives up to the TikTok hype with its refreshing flavor, whitening effects, and gum health benefits.
While the time commitment and initial adjustment period may be minor hurdles, the results are well worth it. If you're looking for a natural and effective way to enhance your smile and freshen your breath, give this viral product a try.
