Hi,
I started oil pulling a few months ago (using Spectrum brand sesame oil) but haven't been doing it consistently. One of the main reasons I'm resistant to doing it on an everyday basis is this : After I spit out the oil, for about the next 20-30 minutes I'm constantly running to the bathroom to spit out great gobs of phlegm into the toilet. It's really an unpleasent experience, I don't have a cold or any flu-like symptoms so I'm wondering why it is that this stuff is coming up.
Does it mean that it is just pulling out crap from my lungs? I am an ex-cigarette smoker, but I gave up smoking 5 years ago so I wouldn't have thought there would be much crud left in my lungs by now.
Has anyone else experinced these same reactions to OP?
