St. Paul, MN – August 29, 2025 – Dignity Made, a social enterprise dedicated to ethical coconut-based products, today announced the launch of its new Oil Pulling Kit, designed to bring time-tested wellness practices into everyday routines. The kit includes a 4oz jar of raw coconut oil, a stainless steel tongue scraper, and a Dignity Made branded travel case—offered exclusively at https://dignitymade.com/products/oil-pulling-kit-with-tongue-scraper for $13.95.

Meeting a Growing Demand for Oil Pulling

For years, customers have used Dignity Made’s raw coconut oil for oil pulling, an ancient Ayurvedic practice that involves swishing oil in the mouth to remove toxins and improve oral health. The practice has gained popularity in the U.S., with studies showing real benefits:

• A 2017 clinical trial found that oil pulling with coconut oil significantly reduced plaque and gingivitis after just 7 days of use.

• Research published in the Journal of Natural Science, Biology and Medicine concluded that oil pulling was as effective as chlorhexidine mouthwash in reducing oral bacteria linked to bad breath and cavities.

• Regular oil pulling may also help reduce inflammation, balance oral microbiota, and support overall gum health

“Our customers have been telling us for years that they love using our coconut oil for oil pulling,” said a Erik Olson, CEO of Dignity Made “We wanted to make it even easier for them to integrate this wellness ritual into a complete oral care routine.”

The Role of Tongue Scraping in Oral Health

Oral health experts note that brushing and flossing, while essential, do not always address one of the leading sources of bad breath and bacteria: the tongue. Research from the State University of New York at Buffalo’s School of Dental Medicine found that 80–90% of bad breath originates from bacteria on the tongue, making it a major contributor to halitosis.

A 2004 study in the Journal of Periodontology revealed that tongue cleaning reduced volatile sulfur compounds by 75%, compared to just 45% from brushing alone. Stainless steel scrapers, in particular, are recognized for their durability and effectiveness in removing buildup that toothbrushes often miss.

The inclusion of a stainless steel tongue scraper in Dignity Made’s new kit reflects a growing understanding that a holistic approach to oral hygiene requires attention to the entire mouth, not just teeth and gums.

A Powerful Combination for Oral Health

By pairing oil pulling with tongue scraping, the Oil Pulling Kit offers a natural, affordable, and effective way to support fresh breath, healthier gums, and improved oral hygiene overall. Oil pulling works to reduce harmful bacteria, while tongue scraping removes debris and buildup at the source, making the combination more powerful than either practice alone.
