Wellness Mama founder Katie Wells has published a recipe for bite-sized coconut-oil “pulling chews” flavored with essential oils, pitching them as a simpler way to do oil pulling—an Ayurvedic-inspired practice that involves swishing oil and then spitting it out. Dental groups and medical experts, however, say research on oil pulling’s oral-health benefits is limited and it should not replace brushing, flossing, fluoride toothpaste and routine dental care.
