I have done oil-pulling with both coconut oil and "brazed" sesame oil. I felt I had better "results" with the brazed sesame oil.
What I mean by "results" is after the 15-20min is up, the sesame oil is definitely looking pretty disgusting, so from that I get that it was effective in removing crap from my mouth. The coconut oil would get really broken-down but appeared not to have the same effect.
These observations are by no means scientific of course.
"Brazed" means that I pour some sesame oil in a saucepan, and pour a little bit of water in there too. I slowly heat up the oil until the water I added starts to "crackle". The brazing process removes impurities from the oil itself. Store in a GLASS bottle.
I learned the brazing of sesame oil from my Transcendental Meditation teacher who knows a lot about Ayurvedic health maintenance techniques.
The actual instructions I was given was to apply the brazed sesame oil to my skin a few minutes before a bath or shower to draw impurities from the body. I believe the technique is called "panchakarma". I thought I'd try it with oil-pulling and it seems to be effective.
The concern I have now is finding a pure source of sesame oil since the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.
