Teeth are among the most important parts of our bodies! They are there forever, and we only get one pair. Therefore, we should keep our teeth healthy so that we don’t suffer from tooth decay or gum diseases.
There are literally thousands of toothpaste out there, they all claim to be the same too. They claim to whiten your teeth in 30 days, and to prevent gum disease, etc. But, they usually all contain the same toxic ingredients! Fluoride is an excellent example.
As one of the most used ingredients in toothpaste, Fluoride is purely toxic. According to a study from Harvard University on fluoride and brain function, an adverse side effect of fluoride is a lowered IQ level. So basically, the toothpaste advertisers are offering us whiter teeth in exchange for our brain cells.
Thankfully, there are many natural ingredients to create a home remedy for toothpaste. The home remedy for toothpaste we share today is completely natural. This remedy which contains baking soda, coconut oil, and neem powder, is completely effective in whitening teeth and lowering risk for gum diseases!
Why should you try this remedy?
The Journal of Clinical Dentistry in June 2008 showed that brushing your teeth with baking soda products was proven to be more effective than using products without it. Baking soda is more affordable and more effective.
Meanwhile, Coconut Oil has also shown to be exceptionally effective in dental health. This oil has been used to clean teeth for centuries, dating back to ancient India! Coconut oil works by detoxifying the oral cavity in a similar way to dish liquid cleaning dishes. It literally sucks the dirt and toxins out of your mouth. It creates a clean, antiseptic oral environment for your teeth.
The last primary ingredient in this amazing and natural toothpaste is Neem Powder. Neem is a leafy tree also known as the “Indian Lilac”. It is commonly used in Indian traditional medicine. It has more than 140 active compounds within! It is known to produce a more healthy immune system, treat ulcers, and prevent tooth decay!
Researchers published in the Journal of Ayurveda Integrative Medicine that just chewing on a stick from the tree can help prevent tooth decay while inducing a more sterile environment for your teeth to live in. This ingredient really is amazing and should be exalted for its medicinal uses.
