"Oil pulling is this method in Ayurveda that gives you good oral health. It helps to reduce bacteria and help whiten the teeth," Mattam says. She loves how palatable the GuruNanda Pulling Oil ($15, originally $16) is for those who want to start the practice. Although it's traditionally the last step, she likes to do it first thing in the morning before she brushes her teeth. She swishes it around her mouth for three to four minutes while making the bed or walking around.
"It takes a while to get used to the sensation of it, I'm not gonna lie, but the GuruNanda one is the best one," she says, noting that the minty flavor helps with the taste.
Pro Tip: Since this is a coconut-oil-based product, Mattam suggests spitting it out in the garbage rather than the sink to prevent clogging up the drain, since coconut oil hardens at room temperature or colder.
