OILS THAT FIX THINGS ....

Now I know there is all kinds of uses for oil ... but I am not talking about the oil that keeps your car running ! No sir, these are natural, essential oils obtained from natural, organic plants and flowers and things.

After killing all those nasty little bacterii, and swishing the Sole solution through your mouth, the fun part starts! There are an array of oils available each with their own healing properties and perhaps a combination of these give maximum protection for the teeth.

I started by using peppermint oil, because that is all I had in my stash. So, I put a few drops on my toothbrush and worked it carefully into my mouth, taking care to brush downward from the gums. I also gave extra-special attention to the tooth that was giving me some problems.

Three days on this routine and any niggles disappear. Now, I simply maintain this routine and it keeps any infections at bay.

I found a wonderful combination of oils at my local Health Food Store. It is a product produced by Dr Vogel called Neem Oil and is recommended for skin disorders, but I put a few drops on my toothbrush and afterwards rinse my mouth carefully.

I have also heard from others who have had wonderful results, toothaches disappear and cavities healed, so I would happily recommend this routine to anyone who is concerned about the general well-being and health of their teeth.

Shalom until next time,
Salome

Your Teeth and Minerals

The African people know something about minerals. Whenever we went to the seaside, they always asked that we bring back a bottle of sea water which they would then consume over a period of weeks - one little bit at a time.

It was only about 4, maybe 5 years ago that I found out how important it is for our health and well-being to replace lost minerals in our bodies.

I was introduced to a mineral-dense solution called "Sole", which is made by dissolving Himalayan Rock Salt in pure, distilled water until the salt crystals do not dissolve anymore. That means the solution is stable and saturated. We take one teaspoon a day, add it to a little bit of water and swig it down fast.

Believe me, it tastes just like sea water! Yugh! But .... it replaces the minerals that your body loses naturally loses (some through sweating, some through the kidneys and some just because our soil is so minerally depleted now.

I started struggling with cramps in my lower legs about 6 years ago. I remembered that salt water in hot countries replaced the lost minerals. Now, important: I am not talking about the bleached, useless substance that most people call table salt.

No! I am talking about the real thing. We use Himalayan Rock Salt, which is beautifully pink, but there are other mineral rich salts on the market. The moment I start experiencing cramps, I go back on the routine and take Sole for a few days et voila! Results.

Now, back to my daily tooth routine ... After rinsing with Hydrogen Peroxide, I swish the Sole Solution through my mouth thoroughly to restore the pH balance in my mouth, and also for the mineral content which is good for teeth!


Now I have a happy set of gnashers! Bacteria that causes toothache gone - Check. Mineral balance restored - check.

Next time ... I want to look at how essential oils can benefit and restore my tooth health.

Until then,

Peace!
