So I found this zine and like the author i hate having to constantly waste and purchase dental hygiene materials. This zine entitled the title of my post goes over how to take care of your teeth in an environmentally responsible way.
So first:
obviously try and eliminate most if not all refined sugars from your diet as well as the nasty ass replacement sugars.
Next find a tooth stick
a tooth stick is like a tooth brush but made from a plant u chew it down till it becomes bristle like. The key with what plant to chose is you want the plant to have a butt load of tenins . If you want to know what tenins are look it up! you want to brush your teeth tongue and roof of your mouth at least once a day. heres a list of good tooth sticks
Eucalyptus
Oaks
Bay
Fir
Juniper
Neem
Sassafras (twigs and root)
Horsetails(hole plant)
Mallow(root)
Licorice(root)
Alfalfa(root)
HorseRadish(root)
NEXT
further teeth mouth and gum maintenance goes as follows
like the sticks you want the plant to have lots of tenins
with w/e you use you will want to simply boil down the plant to release the tenins into the water
you can use any of this as a tea to drink or just a mouthwash to spit out
so heres the list
Acorns
Fennel
Chaparral
Tumeric
Licorice
Hawthorn Berry
Horsetail
Prickly Ash Bark
Birch Sap
Cinnamon bark
Catnip
Spilanthes
If you have any other questions leme know and I'll do my best to answer them thanks and enjoy!
