Benefits of Coconut Oil Pulling for Your Health

Hey there! Ella here-

Coconut oil has received a lot of attention lately as one of the great natural boons to overall health. Health benefits have been claimed left and right, with some even being backed by scientific research studies on some level. “On some level” means that some studies were only preliminary, some were only done on animals at the time, and others were human clinical trials.

The range of health benefits of coconut oil is pretty wide, and new studies are being performed to either validate or refute other claims.

What is Coconut Oil?

Coconut oil is oil extracted from coconuts. The processes by which oil is extracted and separated from other parts vary, but most manufacturers either press the meat of the coconut (the part you eat) or go through a wet milling process.

The oil is extracted, separated, and packaged for use or sale all over the world, thanks to the tropical countries where coconuts grow wild and in abundance.
