Best Oral Hygiene
Oil pulling or oil swishing is a traditional folk medicine from the far east (India actually) which is mentioned in the Ayurvedic text Charaka Samhita, and called called Kavala Gandoosha / Kavala Graha. As a Capricorn prone to teeth carries and bone issues, I took up the practice in hopes of dramatically changing the health and character of my month, which I have been achieving, slowly but surely. I can most assuredly say that my teeth are whiter and straighter and my gums healthier with smaller gum pockets. Swishing pulls toxins from the mouth (and stomach) and also boast many health improvements in the following areas:
• allergies, colds, headaches
•respiratory problems of lungs like asthma, bronchitis
• various skin problems rashes, itching
• Digestive issues
• Constipation
• Arthritis and joint pains
• Heart disease and Blood Pressure
• Diabetes
• Piles
• female reproductive system issues-
It has been recommended to me that I finish my swishing with a quick salt water rinse, and then brush my teeth, preferably without toothpaste so that mineralization can occur. I go back later and do another brushing again with tooth paste, and then finish with a teaspoon of honey and cinnamon which acts as a breath freshener and also has many numerous other health benefits in and of itself.
There are also many homeopathic remedies for teeth. Contrary to what your dentist may say, ill teeth can be saved- extractions and root canals can be avoided. Here are some remedies that Dr Wolfe teaches us about, for a dental abcess;
Belladonna – Works best when used early in the case, for early dental abscess that is red and throbbing.
Bryonia -For acute inflammation or for pricking like pain which is relieved by firm pressure.
Hepar Sulphuris – This will take down an abscess accompanied by pus.
Myristica – This relieves swelling and numbness
Pyrogenium – For pus that will not drain
Silicea – Again, this will help to discharge pus
He also gives remedy choices for gingivitis, neuralgia, bleeding, post operative pain and swelling, salivation, and TMJ. Here is Dr Wolfe’s site for a wealth of information
