Many studies have been performed to show the benefits of turmeric in dentistry and for oral hygiene.
Toothaches and Oral infections
Turmeric contains anti-viral and antibacterial properties that can help keep the bad guys at bay and may soothe/improve oral infections.
Gum Irritation and Gum Reddening
When you use natural products like turmeric, you can expect less irritation and a healthier mouth than when you use chemical-based products. Because of turmerics antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties, it can help to soothe inflammation and irritation in the mouth.
Some people are unknowingly allergic to chemicals in commercial toothpaste and other oral products. Using more natural based substances, like turmeric, can benefit the mouth significantly by lessening reddening and irritation.
Decalcify Your Pineal Gland
The pineal gland has been called one of the most important parts of your nervous system. It sits right in the center of your brain and is responsible for regulating various hormones and is also known as the center for “spiritual awakening”.
Many chemicals and substances in our modern world have been shown to damage the pineal gland.
Because of turmeric’s neuroprotective benefits and anti-inflammatory properties, it can improve and preserve the health of the pineal gland when used regularly.
Protect Your Brain From Fluoride Damage
Turmeric not only helps whiten your teeth, but may also help combat the negative effects of fluoride.
Fluoride, unfortunately, can be found EVERYWHERE:
- drinking water
- antibiotics
- non-stick pans
- toothpaste
- …and more
Curcumin, the active substance in turmeric, contains remarkable brain-saving properties!
Over 200 peer-reviewed, published studies have shown that curcumin is a neuroprotective agent.
With all the chemical and toxin exposure we are facing daily, turmeric could very well become one of the most important herbs of our time!
