Oil Pulling with Coconut Oil
How to Do It: Take a tablespoon of coconut oil and swish it around your mouth for 10-20 minutes. Make sure the oil reaches all areas of your mouth. Do not swallow the oil as it collects bacteria and toxins from your mouth.
Best Time for Practice: Ideal in the morning, on an empty stomach, before brushing your teeth. This timing helps in detoxifying the mouth and body effectively.
Benefits: Helps in reducing harmful bacteria in the mouth, whitening teeth, and improving overall oral hygiene.
Herbal Rinses
Preparation: Boil water and add herbs like peppermint, sage, or clove. Let it steep until the water cools down. Strain the mixture to remove the herbs.
How to Use: Use this herbal rinse as a mouthwash. Swirl it in your mouth for about 30 seconds to a minute, then spit it out.
Optimal Timing: Best used after brushing your teeth or any time during the day for freshening your breath. It can be particularly soothing and beneficial after meals.
Benefits: Herbal rinses can help in reducing inflammation, refreshing breath, and providing antibacterial benefits.
Chewing Ginger
Guidance: Take a small slice of fresh ginger and chew it slowly. It's best to use fresh ginger for maximum benefits.
When to Chew: Ideal after meals to aid in digestion and saliva stimulation. Chewing ginger in the morning can also kickstart saliva production, benefiting oral health.
Benefits: Ginger stimulates saliva production, helping in natural mouth cleansing. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and aids in digestion.
