Coconut oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that involves swishing a tablespoon of oil in your mouth to potentially improve oral hygiene… Reduces Harmful Bacteria: Studies have found that oil pulling with coconut oil can significantly reduce the count of Streptococcus mutans, a primary bacterium responsible for tooth decay and plaque buildup & Moisturizes Gums: The fatty acids in the oil can help moisturize the gums and prevent dryness. I use a tablespoon of liquid coconut oil at bedtime (swishing it in my mouth before spitting it out..very important to spit,not swallow)
Studies have shown that acupuncture done after radiation therapy can be effective in reducing dry mouth by stimulating the salivary glands in your mouth. Stanford University speech and language has a webpage on acupuncture therapy that you can Google.
I’ve just started acupuncture treatments (2x) and do notice a slight improvement in my saliva as well as my hands and feet not feeling so cold since I started.
