So, when I first heard about oil pulling I thought it sounded pretty wild. Why would sloshing some oil around in your mouth be so beneficial? Then I looked into it a bit more and was very intrigued. So, I tried it for myself, starting with plain old coconut oil. Meh, seemed okay. I decided to add in some essential oils…Yowza, now we’re talking. I have tried oil pulling with several different essential oils, but the one I keep going back to is Thieves. Then I decided to make them into oil pulling chews to make things even easier and more fun!Â
And for good reason!
- Thieves supports your immune system
- Thieves is a powerful cleaner (Young Living has a dedicated cleaning line just for Thieves oil!)
- Thieves has an amazing flavor that leaves your mouth tingly and fresh! (Young Living also has two toothpastes that use Thieves as a main ingredient).
So, enough about how much I love that oil. Here is a nifty little way that I made this process super easy. You premix the oils, freeze them into small cubes, and then just pop one in your mouth and you are good to go. Just remember NOT to swallow the oils when you are done, you want to spit all the nasties from your mouth out. Everybody out!!!

Are you supposed oil pull before or after you brush your teeth? Which one, before or after, is more beneficial? or does it not matter?
I am not really sure if it matters. I do after simply because I brush my teeth first thing after I wake up
Is oil pulling okay with dental work? have veneers
Hi Shontel, I recommend discussing oil pulling during a check-up visit with your dentist, so that they can take a look at your overall oral health as well as the condition of restorations, dental work, and veneers.
Oil pulling should not affect the cement or composite bonding on your veneers. You eat oil in your foods. Same thing.
But what is Thieve’s ingredents? I think it is easier to just pull. Afterall, you have to spilt them out.

Hello, I have been adding 2 drops of Thieves to my coconut oil and then oil pulling for 15 to 20 minutes. Kate, I was wondering if you have tried using the thieves mouthwash with your recipe yet and if so how did it turn out?
I have not tried using the mouthwash yet, still just using the oil
Have you tried the mouth wash yet??
I use the mouthwash every night!
How would you convert 40 drops of Thieves to Mouthwash?
Don’t forget to spit the coconut oil into the trash because if it solidifies and your pipes it will clog them.
Can you use something besides coconut oil, my husband is highly allergic?
Sunflower seed oil is supposed to be great too, but I have only used coconut oil
