I usually add about a quarter of a teaspoon of it to Piper's raw food. She will literally eat it cold right off the spoon though. |
My gag reflex is so sensitive, I won't be able to oil pull (I can't even drink one sip of alka seltzer w/out gagging loll!)...but I did read in a health forum that brushing your teeth w/coconut oil is just as effective, so I made my own toothpaste. Added baking soda & some peppermint oil.
