Q. Is oil pulling (oil gargle) good for constipation?

A.

No direct effect. Instead, taking a spoonful of olive oil on an empty stomach in the morning helps to lubricate the bowels and assist with bowel movements.

📝 Detailed Answer

오일 풀링은 구강 건강을 위한 요법입니다.

변비에는 좋은 기름을 섭취하는 게 답입니다. 올리브유나 들기름의 올레인산은 소장에서 흡수되지 않고 대장까지 내려가 천연 윤활유 역할을 하고 담즙 분비를 촉진해 배변을 돕습니다.
