Hyperacidity and deacidification begins in the mouthA wholesome, alkaline diet, thorough chewing and an intact acid-base balance are important prerequisites for good and well-groomed teeth. Our alkaline toothpaste protects the enamel from acid attacks and protects the mucous membranes. Rügen healing chalk has anti-inflammatory and acid-binding properties. We do not add fluoride to our toothpaste. Rügener healing chalk naturally contains fluoride as a trace element (200 ppm). Natural minerals strengthen the gums. The Epiphany gifts of gold (water), frankincense and myrrh give the toothpaste an unmistakable, unique character and determine its taste. Sensitive people enjoy the gemstone mixture. Michael Droste-Laux alkaline toothpaste is compatible with homeopathy.The development of tooth decay and periodontal disease is a complex process in which both internal and external factors are involved. Tooth damage caused by various types of sugar and carbohydrates is well known. What is less well known, however, is that acidic saliva and acidic mucous membranes change the bacterial flora in the mouth or shift the acid-base balance.An acidic environment favors the demineralization of the gums (paradontosis), the removal of calcium from the teeth and attacks the natural tooth enamel. The excessive acid civilization diet that is common in our latitude damages the tooth enamel and promotes tooth damage. An intact acid-base balance, a nutritious, mineral-rich, base-surplus diet and good chewing are important prerequisites for your dental health. This is best supported by basic dental care.As special ingredients, Michael Droste-Laux toothpaste contains the gifts of the Three Kings gold, frankincense and myrrh. Aurum Potabile is the name of the legendary drinking gold used by alchemists, which the famous medieval doctor and alchemist Philippus Theophrastus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim, known as Paracelsus (1493-1541), praised to the skies: "Of all elixirs, gold water is the most important!"In ancient times, the resin of the Boswellia tree was the most coveted and expensive raw material of all. Real incense is the scent of heaven and symbolizes the cleaning of rooms. For a long time, cool modernity seemed to be able to do without such sensuality, but the valuable resin is experiencing a renaissance. Myrrh is related to frankincense. Our myrrh tincture is characterized by its natural, balsamic delicacy.

Traditional oil pulling for oral and dental careEveryone knows it when getting up in the morning: dry mucous membranes in the mouth or a bland, unpleasant taste in the mouth. Already more than 3000 years ago people in India knew how to help themselves, as the oldest Vedic writings show.Our Ayurvedic mouth oil made from matured and cold-pressed sesame oil is also mixed with pure natural thyme and sage oil. These aromatic oils improve the taste, promote blood circulation in the gums and thus support your dental health and oral hygiene. All oils used come from controlled organic cultivation. Just like our alkaline toothpaste, our mouth pulling oil from EcoControl GmbH is certified according to the NCS Natural Cosmetics Standard, a standard of the society for applied business ethics.Who started the oil pulling trend?Traditional oil pulling is already described in the old scriptures of Ayurveda (Charaka Samhita). The doctor Fedor Karach popularized the method in the western world in the 1990s. At a meeting of the Association of Oncologists and Bacteriologists, Dr. Karach pointed out an unusual healing method which caused doubts because of its simplicity. By pressing and rinsing an oil between the teeth and in the oral cavity, the healing process of cells, tissues and organs should take place alone.After his original presentation, Karach recommended pure sunflower oil for an oil pulling cure. A tablespoon is rinsed in the mouth on an empty stomach for 15-20 minutes in the morning and sucked through the teeth. Initially, the oil is golden yellow and viscous, but then becomes thinner and thinner as the flushing time increases. Then spit the oil out into a paper handkerchief, rinse your mouth thoroughly with warm water and brush your teeth. The spat out liquid contains bacteria, pathogens and toxins.Double effect shortens oil pullingAccording to the teachings of the oldest natural medicine, Ayurveda, Droste-Laux Naturkosmetik relies on the draining properties of sesame oil. Specially prepared sesame oil also has an effect on the reflex zones of the tongue, the surface of which is also assigned to different organs. This 'double effect' shortens oil pulling to 3-5 minutes. While this detox form is said to have a positive effect on numerous complaints and experiences, the effects on oral and dental health have been proven (Indian Journal of Dental Research 2011).Oil pulling is scientifically recognized in dentistryThe study results show that during oil pulling, the oil is emulsified and saponified in the mouth, a mechanism that reduces caries bacteria (Streptocoppus mutans) by around 30% and an alkaline effect that contributes to the deacidifying and disinfecting effect. In contrast to toothpaste, oil reaches all gaps, spaces and gum pockets. After the morning ritual, it is best to take our alkaline toothpaste with Epiphany gold, frankincense and myrrh. The most noticeable effects of oral and dental care products are the strengthening of the teeth, the end of bleeding gums and radiant white teeth.
