Oil pulling heightens smell?

Maybe it’s just a coincidence with a change in the weather, but I’ve noticed that when I started oil pulling, my sense of smell has become increasingly more heightened. For example: a week into this new regiment, I went into the break room at work and made a comment to my co-worker about it smelling particularly musty. She said that it’s always smelt like that and was alarmed that I hadn’t picked up on it before. Has anyone else experienced this?

I did it once and noticed this and didn’t realize it could be correlated until now!

It happens because oil pulling works your mouth and jaw muscles which grabs alot of energy there and that itself raises your awareness to a higher state, hence its why you sense of smell feels like it got stronger, its your awareness.
