1. The first thing to do when you wake up is cleaning the tongue with a copper scraper, an ayurvedic medicine practice.

During sleep, waste and toxins are accumulated in the tongue, which we should remove before we wash our teeth or drink/eat something (and swallow these waste). In Ayurveda, language is a diagnostic organ, reflecting our internal state. It is a great practice to observe your tongue every morning, realizing the amount of accumulated waste (that whitish part) and its color (sometimes more yellowish). When there is too much waste, it is because there is too much in the body - the term ayurvedic for toxins. We spent the night of our mouths closed with the internal organs in operation in their natural detox process. This is why it is essential to remove accumulated waste in the language, a process that also arouses gastric enzymes for their digestive work.

It's simple: just have to bird scraper From the back to the tip of the tongue, removing the accumulated waste. You will see that a kind of yellowish liquid comes out. Wash the utensil and repeat a few more times until it comes out clean.

2. Soon after cleaning the tongue, it is important mouthwash oil -based solution, another ayurvedic practice - the so -called Oil Pulling.

Traditionally it is done with sesame oil, sunflower or coconut for 20 minutes! I know it may seem eternity if it is not used to, but try it to start for at least 3 minutes and increase the time. Oil anti-inflammatory benefits protect gums and relax muscles and joints (can help in cases of bruxism, migraines or even throat inflammation) and the Coconut oil is great for keeping the white teeth. It is normal for the liquid to exit yellow at the end, a sign that it retained all impurities. To the Elixir shines, based on coconut and sesame oils, I also added botanical essential oils such as cardamom, peppermint and cloves, for a boost of antimicrobial and digestive properties.

It is very important that it does not swallow the oil even if it pour it out directly in the washbasin - Oils can solidify and clog the pipes. Put it on paper and lay in the rubbish of the trash.

3. Then yes, it's height of to brush your teeth. Must use a natural formula that remineralizes the teeth and protect the gums.

THE Toothpaste cardamom It may seem strange to the beginning because it is salty, but there is a good reason! It is a antiseptic powerful, capable of balance the pH of the mouth and prevent the entry of pathogenic agents. Sodium clay and baking soda remind their teeth and help keep them white. The essential oils were chosen by the antimicrobial, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. 

Don't forget to use dental wire regularly and to wash your teeth with an electric brush from time to timeto ensure that the hardest access zones are very clean. Whenever possible, use Biodegradable brushes! 

NOTE OF OUR FOUNDER: 

Since I started MPL'beauty, I always knew I wanted to develop oral care products. He has always impressed to read on the labels of toothpaste and elixion how dangerous it would be if ingesting them. How can I feel safe when you have them in my mouth then? And in the mouth of children? On top of that when we have a lot of blood vessels, especially under the tongue, which are basically a shortcut for greater absorption of anything that comes into contact with this zone?

A good oral hygiene is more than having a white teeth. It is the entry of our body, where the digestive system begins and with links to hormonal, immune and respiratory systems. It is the second largest microbiome in the body, following the intestinal microbiome. It is estimated that there are between 6 and 10 billion microbes in the mouth, from about 800 different species. This “population” performs vital functions: O transport of minerals present in the saliva to the teeth, remunerating them; oxygen transport to gums and soft tissues; elimination of free radicals and other wastes. It is clear, protects us from external aggressors such as viruses. You microbes present in the mouth also colonize the intestine, being able to support the immune system or cause chronic inflammation or immunity deregulation, depending on how it takes care of your mouth.

It is interesting to reinforce that there are no good and bad bacteriabut bacteria that behave positively (probiotics) and negative (pathogenic) Depending on the ground in which they act. That is, there are bacteria associated with tooth and gum problems that are completely harmless in a balanced oral microbiome.

There are several things that can compromise oral microbiome, as Use chemicals to wash your teeth, have a diet rich in refined carbohydrates, have a low pH or simply high stress levels. In addition to a balanced diet (it is true that sugar is bad for teeth!), Cleaning the mouth daily with natural products is the best way to keep the healthy oral microbiome. Not only prevents the appearance of local problems such as gingivitis, cavities or bad breath, such as immune or hormonal disorders.
