Methylene blue - friend or foe?

Methylene blue - friend or foe?

There’s been some buzz about methylene blue lately, and I want to address the elephant in the room.

Yes, there’s been controversy surrounding its safety, particularly when used in certain situations or combinations. But let’s not overlook the bigger picture—methylene blue has a
LONG history in medicine and offers some pretty exciting benefits, especially for skin and dental health.

Today, I want to dive into why we’re still big fans of this compound and share some exciting news!


When it comes to skin health, methylene blue is starting to turn heads for all the right reasons. It’s been explored for its ability to speed up wound healing and calm inflammation, which could be a game-changer for anyone dealing with cuts, scrapes, or irritated skin.

Even more impressive? It’s been used in photodynamic therapy to tackle conditions like acne and psoriasis. Methylene blue’s antibacterial and antiviral properties help fight off the nasties that can worsen skin issues, making it a promising addition to the skincare world. While the research is still unfolding, the potential here is hard to ignore!

Now, let’s talk teeth. Methylene blue has been a quiet hero in dentistry thanks to its antibacterial power. It’s been used to tackle oral infections and cut down on plaque—two things we all want to keep in check for a confident smile.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the return of our Methylene Blue Charcoal Toothpaste! It combines methylene blue’s bacteria-busting abilities with charcoal’s detoxifying magic to leave your mouth feeling fresh and your teeth sparkling clean. It’s a powerhouse combo we can’t wait for you to try.

We get it—the recent controversy has raised some eyebrows, and that’s fair. Safety concerns, especially around high doses or mixing it with certain medications, are worth noting.

But here’s the thing: when used responsibly, methylene blue’s benefits shine through. It’s been around for over a century in medical settings, and the science is catching up to its potential in everyday health. That said, we always recommend chatting with a "healthcare professional" before diving into any methylene blue products, just to make sure it’s right for you.

So, where do we land? Methylene blue might have its skeptics, but its antibacterial, antiviral, and overall health-boosting possibilities keep us excited. Our methylene blue charcoal toothpaste is back by popular demand, and we’re ready to bring its unique benefits straight to your bathroom sink.
