General Dental Health |
Gargling or rinsing the mouth with water
every time after eating or even drinking
is the best dental care. Food particles
stay and feed the bacteria in mouth if
the mouth is not cleansed after eating
or drinking.
It is a common observation that most of
us do not wash the mouth after eating
with spoon or fork in contrast to eating
food with hands. The Indian
tradition of eating with hands
encourages (no other way) to wash hands
and also the mouth after eating.
Eat with hands and wash your mouth
well after food is the best way to to
keep the dentist away.
Tooth ache:
Boil a few leaves of Elephantopus
in coconut oil and apply on aching
tooth, it will immediately relieve pain
and prevent tooth decay.
Elephantopus scaber, popularly known
as "elephant's foot" is an important
medicinal plant, in Kerala. Its
flattened rosette of leaves resembles
the imprint of an elephant's foot.
Therefore in Malayalam, it is known as
anachuvadi' (Ana=elephant, Chuvadi=foot).
See

here.
Preparation of medicine: Take a
handful of leaves of the plant. Wash
it and then grind it with one
glassful of water. Boil
the extract with half a glass of
coconut oil (use good quality
unrefined coconut oil). Boil until
the mixture reduces to one third of
the volume ( half a glass).
The mixture will be slightly green
in color.
How to use:
Take come in mouth/Keep mouth
closed, until mouth is full with
saliva. Make sure to have contact
where the teeth is bad/decayed. You
can spit out the saliva. Do this
before going to bed.

Bleeding Gums |
Vitamin C would be lacking and so eat
regularly C rich foods like oranges, kiwi
strawberries, guava, lemon etc.
Chewing a piece of fresh coconut and one
baby carrot everyday morning after brushing
the teeth prevents bleeding.
Gargling mouth with unrefined sesame oil for
10 to 15 minutes everyday morning after
brushing teeth is good. Do not swallow the
oil instead spit out and rinse mouth with
water.
The above suggestions also strengthens the
gums.
In our experience we found that when the
liver is unhealthy , leads of bleeding of
gums. Doing water therapy, castor oil
cleansing and taking herbs like Eclipta Alba
and Niruri , immediately relieves one from
bleeding gums.
The above is an Ayurvedic wisdom which
attributes bleeding gums to liver health as
opposed to modern medicine which pinpoints
to infections in the gums. We have
helped several patients by toning their
liver proving the Ayurvedic fundamental
principle of healthy liver for healthy gums.

Bad Breath - Halitosis |
We have also seen good results with
halitosis or bad-breath by toning the liver.
Castor oil cleansing quickly diminished bad
breath. This is because the liver cleansing
action influences oral health too.

Periodontitis
Gingivitis |
The best is to use neem powder (please bear with the
bitterness). You will see stunning results in few days itself.
Due to modern life style we eat with the spoon and not hands
and so we tend to avoid rinsing our mouth after eating. If we
eat with hands then while washing the hands automatically we
also tend to rinse the mouth. Leaving food particles in the
mouth serves as food for bacteria to grow. This causes
severe bacterial growth and bleeding and foul smelling , bad
breath (Halitosis) gingivitis, periodontitis.
So rinse mouth and gums and massage with water every
time after eating food or even after drinking any liquids
other than water. Three times after taking food, massage with
a big pinch of neem leaf powder and leave it for sometime. Do
not spit the saliva that accumulates you can swallow it - no
harm.
This neem will kill the bacteria and stop bleeding gums. It is
a potent anti-bacterial and also anti-inflammatory agent.
Before going to bed , massage with neem leaf powder and
leave it as it is. It will stop the growth of bacteria in the
night. This is very effective medicine to stop tartar,
bleeding gums and also bad breath.
For brushing use vicco vajrdanti tooth powder (not paste) to
add additional benefit. This powder strengthens gums and teeth
and very healthy for oral cavity.
