Are you considering natural toothpaste recipes as alternatives to the commercial, store bought varieties? You are not alone if this is the case. A growing percentage of the population wants to use safer, chemical-free toothpastes as part of an oral hygiene routine. Although certain brands produce safer alternatives, they may still contain some chemicals.

Many people resort to homemade toothpastes because they don’t want to put chemicals like fluoride in their bodies. Other harmful chemicals that are beneficial to avoid include sweeteners and flavors, humectants like glycerol, sodium lauryl sulfate, and triclosan. When making toothpaste, you have the power to control exactly what goes in the recipe. You are also able to customize the texture, abrasiveness, and flavor, and help reduce your own consumption of plastic packaging. The only real initial downside is that you have to purchase supplies and ingredients to start mixing your own toothpastes. 

Are There Downsides To Using Homemade Toothpaste?

Some dentists argue that homemade toothpastes don’t have the ability to reduce cavities and address oral health conditions. Most ingredients benefit your teeth, but there are certain recipes that contain harmful ingredients. For example, it’s best to avoid any recipe that contains hydrogen peroxide or vinegar. These ingredients can break down tooth enamel and causes yellowing or gum problems. For people with sensitive gums or teeth, it may be best to avoid homemade toothpastes that contain baking soda, as it may be too abrasive. Alternatively, you can use a baking soda toothpaste infrequently and use one without it regularly. 

No Fluoride

Homemade toothpaste does not contain fluoride, which has a proven ability to prevent cavities. The American Dental Association (ADA) only endorses toothpastes that contain fluoride, but not everyone wants to use this ingredient. The primary concern has to do with fluoride’s potential to cause fluorosis, which occurs when young children ingest excessive amounts of fluoride while enamel is forming. Dental fluorosis is only a cosmetic issues and doesn’t affect the overall health of your teeth. However, fluoride can be toxic if you ingest it in high concentrations. It’s truly a personal decision of whether or not you want to use toothpastes that contain it or not. If you don’t want to brush with fluoride or other chemicals, please review the following toothpaste recipes.

Recent studies have revealed that coconut oil contains properties that work to fight the bacteria that are responsible for tooth decay. Certain enzymes in coconut oil work to inhibit the growth of various Streptococcus bacteria, some of which are acid-producing and toxic to gums and teeth.

Why Not Just Use Regular Toothpaste?

Did you know that fluoride has never been significantly proven to protect your teeth from cavity development? Continued fluoride consumption, which the body can absorb through mouthwashes or toothpastes, can lead to gastrointestinal disorders, osteoarthritis, essential enzyme inhibition, immune system suppression, and acute poisoning.

One of the benefits of using a DIY toothpaste is that it doesn’t contain foaming agents. A lot of toothpastes contain foaming agents like sodium laureth sulfate (SLS) or sodium laurel suflate, which interfere with your taste buds by breaking up phospholipids on the tongue. SLS has also been linked to the development of canker sores.

Rather than taking a risk, it is recommended to go the all-natural route and avoid toxic substances altogether. DIY toothpaste also lasts a lot longer than regular commercial toothpastes because you don’t need a lot when it comes time to brush. It can take some time to get used to the DIY toothpaste because people have been conditioned to like the minty flavors.

Why Turmeric?

Studies have shown that the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties in turmeric are effective at preventing bad breath and plaque build-up. Turmeric has also been comparable to the anti-plaque and antimicrobial properties that commercial mouthwashes claim to have.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons organic virgin coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (try to get one that has not bee treated with chemicals)
  • a few drops food grade peppermint oil (optional)

Instructions:

  • Mix the coconut oil, turmeric, and baking soda in a bowl until you get a smooth consistency. If you are using the peppermint oil, mix it in as well.
  • Spoon the paste into an airtight, glass jar and store in a cool dry place.
  • Add a small amount (about the size of a pinky nail) to your toothbrush and start brushing. Make sure you don’t swallow the mixture.
  • Rinse your mouth with water when finished.

The DIY trend is growing in popularity because people are realizing the benefits of natural ingredients and understanding the negatives of chemical-filled commercial products. When it comes to mouthwash, most varieties contain fluoride, which is one of the most toxic substances known to man. Fluoride compounds are purposefully added to water (not everywhere) through a process called fluoridation, but its use in commercial toothpastes and mouthwashes is dangerous.

Did you know that fluoride has never been significantly proven to protect your teeth from cavity development? Continued fluoride consumption, which the body can absorb through mouthwashes or toothpastes, can lead to gastrointestinal disorders, osteoarthritis, essential enzyme inhibition, immune system suppression, and acute poisoning.

This is why we strive to find DIY solutions, which use natural ingredients that do not harm the body. For instance, we came upon an antibacterial DIY mouthwash with antifungal properties that help keep your breath fresh. This mouthwash contains two powerful essential oils (tea tree and peppermint), which are not dangerous to your body.

Recent dental studies have found that essential oils, when properly diluted, safely reduce plaque on teeth. The proper dilution would be 1 cup of distilled water per 10 drops of essential oils. They fight back against gingivitis and don’t stain your teeth, which is common among chlorhexidine rinses. A study of essential oils on dental implants showed that they actually helped limit biofilm production.

The benefit of using DIY products is that you know exactly what goes into what you are using. The use of DIY mouthwashes also decreases the amount of waste headed to landfills, due to fewer plastic bottles used. Use this mouthwash to help improve your oral hygiene and have a better environmental footprint.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small glass mason jar
  • ½ cup distilled water
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 drops tea tree essential oil
  • 2 drops peppermint essential oil

Instructions:

  • Add all of the ingredients to the small mason jar and shake to combine. When you don’t use it the baking soda will settle at the bottom of the jar, so be sure to shake it up prior to rinsing.
  • Swish about 2-3 teaspoons of the mixture in your mouth for one minute. Be sure to avoid swallowing this mixture.
  • Spit it out and rinse your mouth with filtered water.

Note that this mouthwash is best used after brushing with a non-toxic, fluoride-free toothpaste.

Is your thyroid functioning at its optimum level? The thyroid plays an important role in the body, so it is necessary to keep it healthy.

The post 5 Things You Can Do To Keep Your Thyroid Healthy appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

Whether you know it or not, your thyroid is one of the most important components of your body. Just like anything in the body, it functions better if it is healthy. What happens if it doesn’t work like it should? Believe it or not, this is more common than you think.

Roughly 20 million Americans have thyroid conditions, and up to 60% of those people are unaware of their condition. A thyroid condition can be linked to conditions like fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), eczema, or autoimmune disorders, but it can also stem from an unhealthy diet and poor lifestyle choices.

What Is The Thyroid?

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck that produces hormones, regulates your metabolism, and affects the function of each organ in the body. The hormones that the thyroid produces, thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine, determine the speed and functions of your organs and how the body’s systems use energy.

Hypothyroidism

indicates that the thyroid is sluggish and underproductive. This condition slows down the body’s metabolism, which can lead to weight gain, increased cholesterol levels, and bone issues.

Hyperthyroidism

means that the thyroid is overactive and produces excessive amounts of thyroxine. An overactive thyroid causes the body to work faster than it should, ultimately disrupting normal bodily functions. It can lead to weight loss, eye problems, and even osteoporosis.

Now that you know a little about the thyroid, here are 5 ways you can keep your thyroid healthy.

Maintain a Nutrient-Rich Diet

Eating the right fruits and vegetables can help maintain your thyroid and overall health. It’s ideal to consume fruits and vegetables that are high in antioxidants and iodine, which is necessary for thyroid hormone production. An iron or iodine deficiency can actually cause hypothyroidism. For those with hyperthyroidism, iodine can help slow the release of too many thyroid hormones. No matter what thyroid problem you have, iodine can help your thyroid function normally. Sea vegetables like kelp or spirulina can help supply you with iodine. Below is a list of foods, which are beneficial for thyroid health.

  • Berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries etc.)
  • Cruciferous Vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage)
  • Sea Vegetables (kelp, dulse, agar, seaweed, nori, spirulina, Irish moss)
  • Foods high in chlorophyll (spinach, snow peas, kiwi, cucumbers, parsley)
  • Shitake or Portabella Mushrooms
  • Olive Oil
  • Almonds
  • Pumpkin Seeds
  • Flaxseeds
  • Walnuts
  • Brazil Nuts
  • Chia Seeds
  • Sunflower Seeds
  • Sesame Seeds

Avoid Fluoride

Most commercial toothpastes contain toxic ingredients that can damage your health, but they also contain fluoride, which can damage the thyroid. Communities with fluoride in the water actually have higher rates of hypothyroidism. This is why drinking distilled or alkaline water, or eating alkaline foods, is healthy for your thyroid and overall health. Additionally, try to abstain from non-stick pans and black tea, as both of those contain fluoride.

Decrease Stress

Minimizing your stress levels can not only improve your thyroid function, but also contribute to your overall wellbeing. Stress can actually induce a thyroid condition, or make it more obvious that you have a thyroid condition. Overproduction of cortisol, a stress hormone, can interfere with thyroid hormone production. It actually can make the thyroid work harder to produce sufficient amounts of hormones needed for bodily functions. Great ways to de-stress include acupuncture, breathing techniques like meditation, massage therapy, or taking warm baths.

Get Rid of Inflammatory Foods

If you eat inflammatory foods, you can irritate your digestive system, which can rub your immune system the wrong way. When your immune system is irritated, it does not acknowledge your thyroid as part of the body. In fact, your immune system interprets the thyroid gland as intrusive and launches an autoimmune attack. Gluten, eggs, dairy, and grains are all inflammatory. This is why eating anti-inflammatory foods is beneficial for your thyroid.

Make Sure You’re Getting Your Omega-3s

If your body is lacking in omega-3 fatty acids, you can have a hormonal imbalance. Omega-3s provide a solid foundation for hormones that control immune function, cell growth, and they help out thyroid hormones. You can get your omega-3s from flaxseeds and walnuts, among other foods.

In addition to the above tips, getting proper sleep, exercise, vitamin D, and avoiding exposure to radiation, toxins, and chemicals like bromide can be beneficial for restoring thyroid health.

If you are cooking your food in those convenient, non-sticking Teflon pans, you should know that you are cooking your food on fluoride.

Fluoride is a very harmful man-made substance that can compromise your health.

Chemicals

Fluoropolymers, the substances used to make Teflon pans, release a persistent gas when heated to high temperatures. They release compounds called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), trifluoroacetate, (TFA) and polyfluorocarboxylic acids (PFOs).

Even though these breakdown chemicals are generally considered non-toxic, it can be dangerous because they may cause long-term health effects as they accumulate in the body.

The good news is that Teflon will only breakdown into these harmful compounds if the cooking temperature exceeds 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Normally, home cooking does not often get that high but we should always take a precautionary approach when using Teflon frying pans and other non-stick cooking ware.

Alternatives

Look for cookware that holds heat well, prevents scorching and sticking, and has a heavy bottom.

Cast iron has been known as the first nonstick surface, requiring minimum fat and less cleaning. Some iron is actually released into the food but this isn’t always a bad thing. Most Americans are low in iron so this isn’t usually a health concern.

Stainless steel is another great alternative to Teflon pans. It is durable, long lasting, and is great for healthy cooking. Stainless steel is very accessible and there are many varieties of shapes and sizes.

Made of a combination of metals, stainless steel is durable and long lasting. Stainless steel cookware may have aluminum in the bottom of the pan but it is not a health problem as long as it is not in contact with the food.

Anodized aluminum cookware is sealed so the base metal (aluminum) doesn’t enter the food prepared in it. The only drawback is that it must be hand-washed, even after the toughest, messiest cooking, as the anodization is corrupted when it comes in contact with commercial brand dishwashing machine detergents.

Ceramic cookware can be useful in some circumstances, such as baking and slow cooking. It’s a nice alternative for people who like the heat distribution of cast iron, but hate the long seasoning process.

Be careful not to scratch the stainless steel because it can result in the harmful release of nickel or chromium.

Yes, beware of toothpaste! Commercial brand toothpastes, that is!

Toothpaste

Commercial brand toothpastes contain caustic and toxic ingredients known to affect physical health. There’s a reason why if it’s ingested in large quantities that the consumer is directed to call a poison control center.

Many commercial brand toothpastes contain ingredients such as sodium fluoride, propylene glycol, sodium laurel sulfate, sodium saccharin, polyethylene, Blue Lake #1, D & C Red #30 Lake, and FD & C Blue #1 Lake.

Sodium fluoride (aka Flouride) is a toxic chemical used in rat poison. Teeth do not require fluoride, but fluorine. Fluoride is not a mineral or element, but fluorine is. Fluorine helps prevent tooth decay. Organic fluorine is found in Black Walnut Hulls and Miswak (Peelu), although in very low concentrations.

Propylene glycol is an industrial agent. It is commonly used to keep products moist and is also used in car antifreeze solutions and de-icing solutions for cars, airplanes, and boats.

Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS) is a surfactant and detergent commonly used in engine degreaser, garage floor cleaners, and car wash soaps. It’s also used clinical testing as a primary skin irritant.

Sodium saccharin is another ingredient in rat poison. In toothpaste, it’s a sweetener.

Polyethylene is PLASTIC.

Blue Lake, FD & C Lake, and all the Lakes are petroleum-derived dyes and known carcinogens. They are used in your toothpastes to give them color.

Sugar alternatives are commonly found in oral hygiene and toothpaste products. They don’t outright use sugar because toothpaste is supposed to fight against the damage of sugar so they use artificial sweeteners instead.

Natural Toothpaste or Tooth Powder Products

There are good alternative brands of toothpaste on the shelves of good health food stores such as Whole Foods Market, Trader Joes, Wild Oats, Natural Grocer Stores (Northern California), VP Discount Health Stores, Nature Mart (Los Angeles, CA), Erewhon (Los Angeles, CA), New Frontiers (Sedona and Flagstaff, Arizona), Sevenanda (Atlanta, GA), and Simply Wholesome (Los Angeles, CA) just to name a few.

Good alternative brands of toothpaste include:

  • Ayurveda
  • Nature’s Gate
  • Peelu
  • Tom’s of Maine

Even with these alternative brands, it’s important to read the labels because many natural brands also add fluoride.

Herbs are great for tooth powder purposes. Peelu brand makes a great tooth powder, if you can tolerate the taste. Other herbs that make excellent tooth powders include White Oak Bark, Clove, Black Walnut Hull, Neem, Bayberry, Goldenseal, Witch Hazel bark, and Cranesbill.

Toothbrushes

Toothbrushes can be harmful if you use the wrong type or size for your teeth or gum condition. Use a toothbrush with very soft bristles. You can also use a towel to clean your teeth. Simply wet the towel and add a little herbal tooth powder to the towel and start brushing and polishing.

Healing Tooth Problems Naturally

For strong and healthy teeth, make sure you get optimal amounts of calcium phosphate, especially if you are pregnant. A developing baby can cause a pregnant woman to lose calcium, which is why many females experience problems with their teeth after pregnancy.

Essential oil of Clove is known to provide relief from tooth pain. Apply a few drops on to a Q-tip and apply to the toothache. This is just a temporary remedy until you can get yourself to a dentist, preferably a holistic dentist (if you can find one).

Many dental problems can be resolved through diet changes including plaque build up, sensitive teeth, gingivitis (bad breath), and stained teeth.

Tooth whiteners are toxic and potentially harmful to your health. Nothing whitens teeth better than Carbon, a/k/a Activated Charcoal. Though a tasteless black substance, this stuff whitens teeth and removes plaque at the same time. The substance is very powerful and also helps to maintain a healthy mouth pH balance.

Dietary Intervention

Eliminate meat, dairy products, refined grains and starches from your diet. Eliminate processed foods or greatly cut back on them. Processed vegan products are better than actual meat-based ones.

Consider going all raw (at least for purposes of healing). As raw foodism may be too strict for many, consider becoming a vegan. Eating fruits and vegetables are great for the teeth and gums. Strawberries are especially good to eat as they clean the teeth. Biting into a strawberry is one of the best things you can do for your teeth and gums.

Drinking vegetable juice and swooshing the juice around in your mouth is also healing for your teeth, gums and mouth.

Cilantro is good stuff if you have or had mercury filings in your mouth via teeth. Mercury leeches and eventually makes it way to the brain, which causes a host of problems, but cilantro can help detoxify the body of mercury.

Alkaline water is the best water you can drink for healing and health purposes. Always drink at least half your body weight in water. For example, if your total body weight is 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces because half of 160 is 80.

Stop chewing gum. For breath freshener, try Miswak (Peelu) sticks, Neem sticks, and/or Licorice sticks – all Nature’s toothbrush sticks..

Switch from drinking coffee to drinking coffee alternatives such as brands like Teeccino, Pero, and Cafix. Coffee alternatives are made from dried herbs, seeds, and fruits. Teeccino brand tastes good!

If you’re drinking coffee for that caffeine high, switch to herbs containing bio-active caffeine such as Yerba Mate, Kola Nut, Green Tea, or Guarana. The caffeine in these herbs is bio-active (alive) and not harmful on the body nor are they addictive.

If you use baking soda to brush your teeth, make sure the baking soda is ‘aluminum free.’

Make Your Own Mouthwash

Avoid using commercial mouthwash and gargling agents that contain toxic ingredients such as ALCOHOL (which has been implicated in cancer of the throat), PROPYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM SACCHARIN, D&C and FD&C color dyes (petroleum), and SODIUM LAUREL SULFATE.

You can also make your own mouthwash using these guidelines:

  • Base 1: Blend warm water, sea salt, and a few drops of tea tree oil
  • Base 2: Blend warm water, sea salt, and hydrogen peroxide (3% variation, not 35% food grade variation which should be avoided for this purpose).
  • Add essential oils to either base such as Clove, Tea Tree, Wintergreen, Spearmint and Peppermint

Clove and Tea Tree give your mouthwash antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antimicrobial properties and activities.

Gargling with a little hydrogen peroxide (top or cap full) is great for oral hygiene purposes, especially in cases of internal canker sores (oral herpes) and periodontal disease. If you suffer from or experience bleeding gums, gargle with hydrogen peroxide and a little sea salt which will help the bleeding to subside.

You can add a little vegetable glycerine to your mouthwash to make it a little sweet tasting. You can also add liquid chlorophyll to your mouthwash solution as well – gives it a nice green color.

Root Canals

And remember, there is no herbal alternative to a root canal. Herbs can’t replace surgery.

If you have a major dental issue, by all means seek the help you need and require. You can deal with the injection of drugs later on.

Individuals born between June 22nd and July 22nd incarnated under the Sun sign of Cancer, the Crab.

Background

Cancer’s role is the Nurturer. This nurturing sign makes good nurses and healers. Cancer’s statement is “I Feel!” Cancer is a Water sign and is also ruled or governed by the Moon, which influences emotions.

When dealing with any Water sign, you will be dealing with highly emotional, sensitive, and intuitive people.

Cancer is the 4th sign of the Western zodiac and this sign correlates with the Fourth House – the Home House. The Home House deals with issues of family and home life, parental ties (especially with one’s mother), land and property, and security.

Cancer is a “Water sign” and in the language of astrology, this means Cancerians, as Water signs, are people who are silent, mysterious types whose magic hypnotizes even the most determined realist. They have uncanny perceptions about people and are as rich as the oceans when it comes to feeling, emotion, and imagination. Cancerians have the potential for the depths of darkness or the heights of mysticism and art, just like their elemental family member signs Scorpio and Pisces.

Cancerians help finish projects started by others and they are also very supportive. They have a strong desire to please. Cancerians, like all other water signs, live through their emotions, imaginations, and intuitions.

More specifically, Cancerians are energetic, intuitive, wise, inspired, sympathetic, nurturing, imaginative, sentimental, romantic, inventive, original, home-loving, and maternally instinctive and inclined (females). And like their Water sign brethren, they can be easily hurt. Cancerians are also withdrawn, obstinate, sentimental, and can be cold towards “outsiders.” Cancerians are known to be clingy and possessive.

Cancer is a Cardinal sign.

Cardinal sign traits are enterprise, ambition, initiating change, impetuosity, challenging, setting things into action, being or acting tough; assertive, and at times – aggressive. They can also be pushy, especially Capricorns.

Cancer’s polarity is feminine or negative. Feminine or negative signs (which include Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces) are passive, receptive, reflective, submissive, introvert, and withdrawn. These signs are inward looking and thus are more spiritually inclined than masculine signs.

Famous Cancerians

Famous Sun sign Cancerians include: Princess Diana, Bill Cosby, Marianne Williamson, Meryl Streep, George Orwell, Lena Horne, Lindsay Wagner, Henry David Thoreau, Susan Hayward, Tom Cruise, Carly Simon, Oscar Hammerstein, Courtney Love, Tobey McGuire, Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Juliette Lewis, Willem Dafoe, Anjelica Huston, Arthur Ashe, Kim Carnes, Linda Ronstadt, James Cagney, Diahann Carroll, Mel Brooks, Robin Williams, Natalie Wood, John Cusack, Eva Marie Saint, John D. Rockefeller, Chris O’ Donnell, Mary Baker Eddy, Janet Leigh, Kevin Bacon, Yul Brunner, Dan Ackroyd, Kathy Bates, Ginger Rogers, Sidney Lumet, Gilda Radner, Brian Dennehy, Della Reese, Ron Silver, Deborah Harry (Blondie); Merve Griffin, Ringo Starr, Cyndi Lauper, Bob Fosse, Nancy Reagan, Donald Sutherland, Martha Reeves, Ernest Hemingway, Vicki Carr, Neil Simon, Cheryl Ladd, Cat Stevens, Jessica Simpson, Suzanne Vega, and Physllis Diller.

Astrological Health Profile

In medical astrology, Cancer governs the breasts, nipples, stomach, digestion (digestive tract); diaphragm, esophagus, lymphatic system (along with Pisces), pancreas, gastric vein, alimentary canal and peristalsis, female reproductive organs (womb), upper ducts of the liver, and serum of the blood.

Cancerians are prone to the following diseases and problems:

  • Indigestion
  • Depression
  • Hiccough
  • Flatulency
  • Food neurosis
  • Dropsy
  • Sclerosis
  • Breast problems (females)
  • Swollen breasts
  • Eating disorders
  • Weight problems (over and under weight)
  • Anorexia
  • Edema
  • Brain chemistry imbalance
  • Sensitive teeth or gums
  • Weak stomach
  • Fatigue
  • Allergies
  • Paranoia

Nervous system health and emotional balance is important for this sign. Cancerians are prone to brain chemistry imbalances, depression, and paranoia buttressed by emotional imbalance.

Dietary Considerations

The cell salt for Cancer is Fluoride of Lime. Cancerians use more Fluoride of Lime because this chemical (cell salt) is connected with the keynote of Cancerian activity.
