i have been meaning to get to this for a couple of days now. also, sorry for recent testiness. its been a personal problem.
grapeseed oil - this is an interesting oil. i got it because i needed some oil on the road and decided to try something new instead of an old standby. it is very thin to begin with. i would imagine it would be good for light sauteing or a subtle vinagrette. pulling with it is a commitment. it takes a long time to fill it. it does seem to thicken up a little, but it stays very thin compared to other oils. i kept going and going and then finally it thinned out completely and i was done. i am not sure of the advantages to this king of pull or what grapeseed has to offer that others dont, but i thought it might have its place, sooooo...
i put a mix together for this week of pulling. it is roughly one third grapeseed oil, one third rice bran oil, and one third olive oil. the rice bran, as some may recall, is really thick in the mouth. i figured the gs oil would be a good compliment to this.
i like this mix and i feel like i am getting a good pull with it. the gs oil goes a long way, though, and this mix is taking longer to fill than the usual oils of olive, sunflower or sesame. other than that i am not looking for nor am i noticing any other difference in how the pull is effecting me. i am taking a lot of olive oil orally and putting it on my skin almost daily(actually its a bit of my last mix of sunflower, olive and sesame). putting oil on my skin is loosening up subcutaneous fat and tightening up my skin.
something i have been gradually noticing about the oil pulling is the smell. i have less
Body Odor . the oil i spit out is not as pungent as it used to be. also, the mucus that gets produced now is less thick and , well, just less gross than it used to be. i think i have fresh oil flowing through my body and it is cleaning house. its like the difference between a creek and a pond - i am alleviating a stagnancy, and a longstanding one at that.
i am going to keep hitting that olive oil bottle whenever i think of it. btw, my fancy bottle is long empty!! no, i didnt pull with it at all.
