This protocol is more than treating symptoms, it's preventing them too! Make this practice a habit and enjoy fewer dental bills, stronger teeth, healthier gums, whiter teeth and overall wellness to boot! I have a theory that you may not agree with but if experience is the best teacher, I've been schooled. This is my story - good, bad or indifferent take it in and file it accordingly. Lets face it, our teeth are under assault daily from sugary foods, acidic soft drinks, coffee and many other delights. Many commercial toothpastes are under fire for potentially toxic ingredients that may be undermining our oral and overall health, if your mouth is full of infection your body will follow suit. When I was a single mom of 5, with no dental insurance, I explored self care because DDS appointments weren't an option. To preface this not so exciting time of my life, I've been a believer in plant based health care for decades, herbs are magical in my book and after trying herbal rinses, natural toothpastes etc. I stumbled upon oil pulling and shortly after that, essential oils. Game on people! In my experience, the two together are the holy grail of plant based oral health for the ability to pull toxins, reduce bacteria responsible for plaque build-up, gum disease and recession, tooth decay and gum sensitivity.
Here's the basics - you need 20 minutes (during a shower etc), high quality, unrefined, organic virgin coconut oil and in my opinion, two essential oil blends - for different reasons.
With Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Lavender, Lemon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary, CW Immunity Impact Blend is a great choice for a preventative routine. This is a Thieves type blend with antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral and anti-infectious properties to stimulate the immune system and guard against sore throats, cold and flu and respiratory illness such as pneumonia and bronchitis. The addition of Lavender tempers the blend, adding even more restorative properties to a soothing protective blend.
