The practice of rinsing your mouth out with oil consists of taking a spoonful of cold-pressed sunflower oil and letting it slowly wash around in your mouth for about 10 to 20 minutes and drawing it through your teeth.
You should then spit out the oil and rinse out your mouth with water. You are supposed to repeat this process for about 8 to 14 days, and the best time to do it is in the morning. Olive oil, sesame seed oil and various other vegetable oils are also recommended by various sources.

Articles propounding this practice seem to be limited to the German-speaking countries and can be traced back to just two publications in the magazines Natur und Heilen (Author: Günther W. Frank) as well as Natur und Medizin in the year 1991. Both articles cite a Russian doctor named Fedor Karach, who is said to have demonstrated the procedure at some “Pan-Ukrainian Congress of Oncologists and Bacteriologists”. Karach supposedly learned about this oil treatment from Siberian shamans. No precise dates or sources are mentioned, and there are no publications by a Doctor Karach that can be used as references.
