Ensuring Oral Health

The
germ and virus theory has made people vulnerable to oral problems. Toothpastes
and mouth rinses, junk food, addiction to sugar and sugary drinks, and veering
away from traditional diets has made the dentist prosper. We take great care to
clean our mouth and yet fall a prey to several diseases. But carnivores in the
forest whose breath could kill possess healthy teeth and gums. Should make us
pause and think.
The
oral cavity is full of micro organisms. They assist in digestion and also help
ward off harmful pathogens. The human saliva is a great healer. In tribal belts
the first aid for injury is saliva. So why do we still suffer? That is because
our actions disturb the harmony within the mouth.
Oral
problems can involve deeper issues. Homeopathy tells us how tooth problems can
have a tubercular background. Problems with cheek and gums can be syphilitic.
These are very destructive states of the body and require suitable remedies.
Extremely foul smell in the mouth and pyorrhea also indicate a deep seated
problem.
Our
first step towards oral health should be to discard toothpastes and mouth
rinses. These are what makes most sick at several levels. You can use neem
twigs, herbal powders or best make your toothpaste yourself.
A good
toothpaste could be a combination of triphala powder, coconut oil, sea salt,
and clove oil. Take triphala powder and add cold pressed organic coconut oil.
Allow it to soak. The powder will totally absorb the oil. Then add some more of
coconut oil. Add a pinch of sea salt and a few drops of clove oil. Your
toothpaste is ready. As you start preparing the mixture you will get the
proportions right. Both triphala and coconut oil are elixirs for the mouth.
Many also use a mixture of sea salt and organic mustard oil to clean their
teeth. In villages I have observed people use coal or wood ash from their mud stoves.
Swishing
coconut oil in the mouth or oil pulling solves many oral problems. Clove oil is
great for tooth pains. The homeopathic kreosote powder is also effective for
people who suffer tooth problems. Biochemic Calcarea Phos 6x is good for teeth.
Kali Mur is good for gums and cheeks. In inflammatory conditions Ferrum Phos
helps.
One
must strictly avoid antibiotics, vaccines and chemicals for good oral health.
They are what have made dental and gum problems epidemics. Today children are
the worst sufferers due to these interventions which induce tubercular and
syphilitic traits in the body. One must also take care to have a healthy
balanced diet. Avoid sugar and sugary drinks. Avoid things like chocolates and
chewing gums. Water wash your mouth well after taking food. Never take
allopathic medicated toothpastes.
For
problems of a deep seated nature a homeopath is the best bet.
