  • Within a week of starting this habit:
    • my skin was clearer
    • I was less bloated
    • my teeth were less sensitive
  • Anytime I stop doing this for a bit and start it back up, I wonder why I ever quit! It makes such a difference in my skin, digestion, and teeth! 
  • BONUS: Keep these oil pulling chews in your fridge to make it super easy to be consistent!
