The secrets to keep our mouths in shape
But today it is not easy to maintain a beautiful smile: partly because lifestyles have led us to a diet rich in sugar and the increase in consumption of alcohol and smoking certainly do not benefit dental health, and partly because not everyone knows that having a good state of health of the mouth does not only mean having healthy teeth. The problems are many and often spill over into widespread discomfort: tooth decay, plaque, tartar, gingivitis and periodontitis, traumatic lesions of the mucous membranes, formation of mouth ulcers and tissue ulcers caused by Herpes, are often accompanied by other diseases, caused by today´s way of life. It is interesting to know that the well-being of our internal organs begins in the mouth: it depends on what we eat and also on how we manage to maintain our oral health. The good news is that we can put in place a series of preventive actions, such as being careful about what we eat, avoiding too many complex sugars (and making children avoid them!) and adding fruits and vegetables to the diet that stimulate salivation, which in turn favors the remineralization of the surface of the teeth. We should also limit as much as possible the consumption of alcohol and tobacco which, besides staining the teeth, can cause - especially if they are taken at the same time - serious problems with the gums and pharyngeal infections, not to mention more serious diseases. Finally, it is necessary to take good care of one´s teeth and gums, brushing them thoroughly, flossing every day in order to remove plaque and going regularly to the dentist. The health of the oral cavity and our intestines starts from these simple but important actions. In particular, we must pay attention to the choice of toothpaste. In fact, it should be known that at night our immune defenses are lowered, to the advantage of bacterial loads and, since the mucous membranes of the mouth are the fastest means of absorption of useful substances but also of harmful ones, the toothpaste used in the evening plays a role of great importance. Mei has studied how to keep our mouths as healthy as possible, searching in the best herbal tradition for vegetables and minerals as alternatives to chemical substances, which can help the well-being of mouth and teeth. The first product born from this research is the Propolis Toothpaste, which can gently remove plaque and bacteria, thanks to the action of microgranules of Italian Green Clay, calibrated not to scratch the enamel. The essential oils of Mint, Sage, Cinnamon, Clove and Eucalyptus normalize the pH, blocking the aggression of bacterial loads, with a disinfectant, soothing, antiseptic and purifying action. The Propolis Lotion can be used as a mouthwash to complete the antibacterial action, while the Wild Blueberry Juice, taken in the morning is an excellent tonic of the gum capillaries and performs a preventive action of oral infections.
The beauty mask for teeth and gums
No, don´t be surprised: the beauty mask for teeth and gums really exists! It´s Mei´s Silicic Acid Gel, a unique product, made from Dolomite crystals, which is exceptional both for internal use (it is the backbone of the Calcium Metabolism Path we are talking about in this issue) and for external use. For teeth and gums it should be used as follows: a spoonful of gel should be held in the mouth for about a minute and then swallowed, without rinsing. Its soothing, healing, purifying and anti-inflammatory action takes care of the gums and also gives relief in the case of mouth ulcers or inflammation of the oral cavity, as well as strengthening the enamel of our teeth.
