Dr F. Karsch,M.D. advises: “Rinse the teeth and gums very thoroughly with a tablespoon of Sesame or Sunflower oil . Do it slowly, (but do not swallow), for 15-20 minutes up to three times a day on an empty stomach.”
This simple method can completely heal a wide variety of diseases which would normally be treated by powerful or potent drugs or by an operation, usually with significant side-effects.

The best part of this healing method is its sheer simplicity. It consists of swishing cold-pressed oil in the mouth( Sunflower or Seasme). The healing process is accomplished by the body on its own. In this way, one can potentially heal cells, tissue and all organs simultaneously; the body itself gets rid of toxic waste without disturbing the healthy microflora.

As Dr. Karach puts it, human beings are living only half their life span. We could potentially live healthy to be 140 to 150 years old. Not bad, right…

Robin and Michael Mastro are the leaders in the field of Vastu Shastra. Through their vast experience, they have created a unique system that offers life-enhancing yet simple principles.

Robin is dedicated to adapting the wisdom of ancient systems to enhance the reality of modern life. She is the creator of AltarWear, a jewelry and clothing line based on Vedic teachings.
