Benefits of Walnut Bark Powder for Oral Hygiene
- Cleans and whitens the teeth by supplementing the composition of healthy enamel (not by bleaching). Consequently it takes several months for the full colour improvement to take place, although you will begin to see the improvement much sooner.
- Strengthens and tightens gums, helping to prevent bleeding gums. Reduces inflammation of the gums.
- Inhibits microorganisms representing Gram-positive bacteria like (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans), Gram negative bacteria like (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and pathogenic yeast (Candida albicans) due the presence of juglons and glycocides.
- Increased pH (making the saliva less acid) and reducing corrosion of enamel and dentine.
- Reduces the adherence of bacteria by the presence of Polyphenols.
- Keeps the mouth feeling fresh after use as a mouth wash for up to 3 hours after rinsing by reduced total streptococcal counts in salivary samples.
Walnut Bark Dry Tooth Powder
Wet your toothbrush and dip it into the powder. Use for cleaning and whitening the teeth. Or mix with other dry ingredients such as ultra ventilated clay powder, finely ground sea salt, etc.
Toothpaste Mix with Walnut Bark Powder
with a little water or mix with coconut oil. Make up small quantities at a time.
Mouth Wash with Walnut Bark Powder
Make up a solution containing 15g of Walnut Bark and 100ml of boiled water. Once cool enough to use, swish around the teeth for several minutes. This is very beneficial for the gums. Follow by rinsing.
Interim Treatment Loose Teeth
It is really important to make sure you are under the care of a dentist, but as an interim measure, use your finger to gently apply walnut bark powder to the gums around the loose teeth at night. Rinse out in the morning.
Interim Treatment Gum Abscesses
Again see a dentist and take their advice. In the meantime, cut a small piece of muslin cloth, fold walnut bark powder inside the cloth and place it next to the effected gum. Leave in place except for when eating of drinking and change two or three times a day.
General Advice
We encourage our customers to use a mixture of methods and techniques for cleaning the teeth to get a range of benefits.
We have several types of toothbrush: the Light Activated Ionic Brushes (Solar) which use light to create a charge to remove plaque and cleans the bucal surfaces.
Traditional Boar Bristle Toothbrushes
Tree Roots – Miswak Sticks which are a brush, toothpaste all in one and can be used to create mouthwash.
Olive Tree Sticks – again a toothbrush / toothpaste
Ultra Ventilated Green Clay to make toothpaste or mouthwash – to help detox the gum and tissues, especially with mercury fillings.
We also sell several types of floss: Plain Silk Radius Floss
Slightly minty Silk Floss by Dental Lace – these come in a glass vial and refills are available
Charcoal Bamboo Vegan Floss by Dental Lace, again in glass vials with refills available.
We do believe that toothcare should never be boring.
WARNING
Do not use if allergic to walnuts.
