Do Natural Mouth Hygiene REALLY Products Suck?

Do Natural Mouth Hygiene REALLY Products Suck?

Your oral health may not be something you think of right away when you wake up (it should be). But your teeth and breath are some quick and intimate indicators of your health people immediately pick up on.

Bad breath can be normal, but persistent bad breath is the sign of a poor microbiome.

First step to fixing bad breath is to fix your gut and microbiome via your diet and lifestyle changes.

The next step might be for some oral health products. But before you reach for your synthetic grocery store brand, you might wanna read this.

In this article, we present an interesting alternative to grocery store oral hygiene.

Bamboo Toothbrush: A Sustainable Choice

The first component of this oral care bundle is a bamboo toothbrush. Bamboo is a renewable resource that grows quickly and does not require harmful pesticides or fertilizers. By switching to a bamboo toothbrush, you reduce the amount of plastics and forever chemicals such as PFOAs. Furthermore, bamboo toothbrushes are naturally antimicrobial, making them a hygienic choice. They also have soft bristles that are gentle on the gums, preventing damage or irritation to the delicate oral tissues.

The "miswak" of the Salvadora Persica tree has for millennia been used for oral health. Think of it as "natures toothbrush", with anti-microbial and tooth nourishing effects.

Mouthwash: Nature's Blend for Fresh Breath and Oral Health

The mouthwash included in this bundle contains a blend of natural ingredients known for their oral health benefits rather than harmful chemicals to remove the bad bacteria in your mouth. Let's explore these components:

  • Aloe Vera Juice: Aloe Vera has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, soothing gum inflammation and combating harmful oral bacteria.
  • Sparkling Water: Carbonated water helps to dislodge food particles and debris from hard-to-reach areas, promoting a cleaner mouth.
  • Baking Soda: Baking soda neutralizes acids in the mouth, reducing the risk of tooth decay, and helps maintain a balanced pH level.
  • Xylitol: This natural sweetener inhibits the growth of oral bacteria and reduces the risk of cavities.
  • Peppermint Oil: Known for its refreshing scent and taste, peppermint oil provides a pleasant flavor and leaves the mouth feeling clean and invigorated.
  • Pink Himalayan Salt: Rich in essential minerals, pink Himalayan salt promotes a healthy oral environment, strengthens tooth enamel, and has natural antibacterial properties.

Tooth Powder: Nature's Secret for Optimal Oral Hygiene

The tooth powder included in this bundle harnesses the power of natural ingredients to enhance oral health:

  • Eggshell Powder: Eggshells are rich in calcium in the form of nano-hydroxyapatite, scientifically proven to help strengthen tooth enamel, prevent tooth decay, and repair tooth sensitivity.
  • Bentonite Clay: This natural clay has detoxifying properties and helps remove toxins and impurities from the teeth and gums.
  • Activated Charcoal: Activated charcoal absorbs toxins and stains, leaving your teeth cleaner and brighter.
  • Baking Soda: Baking soda gently polishes the teeth, removing stains and maintaining a fresh feeling.
  • Peppermint Oil: Peppermint oil provides a refreshing flavor and has antimicrobial properties, promoting a healthier oral environment.

The oral care bundle pack consisting of a bamboo toothbrush, mouthwash with Aloe Vera juice and natural ingredients, and tooth powder infused with beneficial elements offers a compelling alternative to conventional
