Sushruta Cikitsa 24.7: “Sneha (oil) should be used as a gargle (Gandusha) every day after the cleansing of the teeth, as it makes them firm, and brings on a natural relish for food.”
Modern “oil-pulling” is exactly this practice — 4,000 years old. Sesame oil + a pinch of salt, held in the mouth 15-20 minutes, then spat out.
How to apply Hold oil + salt in mouth 15 min, swishing gently. SPIT (never swallow). Rinse mouth with warm water. · Daily, morning, after teeth brushing.
