An Ayurvedic Oil-Pulling Blend of Coconut, Sesame & Peppermint
Peppermint Mouthwash Oil is a traditional Ayurvedic oil-pulling blend, swished around the mouth first thing in the morning before brushing. Coconut, sesame and sweet almond oils are blended with gotu kola and finished with peppermint, thyme, tea tree and lavender essential oils.
The Herbs
Peppermint Mouthwash Oil brings together two groups of ingredients traditionally used in Ayurvedic oil pulling. Smooth plant oils coat the mouth and lift away everyday debris. Aromatic oils keep the mouth fresh and clean. Together they make a gentle daily ritual for a clean, comfortable mouth.
To Cleanse and Nourish
Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera): A smooth base that coats the mouth during oil pulling and helps lift away everyday debris.
Sesame Seed Oil (Sesamum indicum): The traditional Ayurvedic oil-pulling base, valued for nourishing the gums.
Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus amygdalus dulcis): A light oil that softens the blend and comforts a dry mouth.
Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica): Long used to support the comfort and care of delicate mouth tissues.
To Freshen
Peppermint & Lavender Essential Oils: Bring a cooling freshness that lasts after oil pulling.
Thyme & Tea Tree Essential Oils: Traditionally valued for supporting everyday oral hygiene and lasting freshness.
Why Oil Pulling?
Practised for centuries in Ayurveda, oil pulling cleans the mouth gently and mechanically. The oil is swished around the teeth, gums and tongue, gathers everyday debris, and is then spat out, without the dry feeling some mouthwashes leave behind.

See the Dentist Regularly: Routine check-ups and cleaning, as part of the routine.
Oil pulling is the practice of swilling oil around the mouth for several minutes before spitting it out. It is called gandusha or kavala in the classical Ayurvedic texts and is one of the oldest oral-care practices recorded anywhere.
Earthy and quiet rather than floral or sweet. Vetiver leads it — a dry, smoky root note — with sandalwood underneath, cypress for greenness and a lift of bergamot. It is closer to a perfume than to a scented body lotion.
Vetiver is the root of a tall tropical grass, and one of the few perfume materials that smells of earth rather than flowers. It is deep, dry and slightly smoky, and it anchors the whole blend.
Our Peppermint Mouthwash Oil combines Coconut, Sesame and Sweet Almond Oils with traditional botanical extracts and essential oils to gently coat the mouth during oil pulling. The blend helps lift away everyday oral debris while leaving the mouth feeling clean, comfortable and naturally fresh.
Our Medical Herbalists recommend using the oil once daily, ideally first thing in the morning before brushing your teeth. Regular, consistent use is the best way to incorporate oil pulling into your everyday oral care routine.
For best results, we recommend using the oil before brushing. Oil pulling helps lift away everyday oral debris during swishing, after which you can complete your normal brushing and flossing routine.
No. This product is intended for oil pulling only. Once you have finished swishing, always spit the oil out completely before rinsing your mouth and brushing your teeth.
The blend has a naturally fresh Peppermint flavour with subtle botanical notes from Thyme, Tea Tree and Lavender. It leaves the mouth feeling clean, cool and refreshed without the harsh aftertaste often associated with alcohol-based mouthwashes.
Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, and anyone with high blood pressure, heart or kidney disease, or low potassium, because of the liquorice. Children under two. If you take prescribed medicine, particularly for blood pressure or a diuretic, speak to your doctor or one of our Medical Herbalists first.
