Tonight

Cornwall Tonight

HOME REMEDIES ----- Ever want to be able to just fix a problem when it comes up? (Dr. Mom/Dad/Self) type idea? I am hosting a small informal gathering at the request of a few people in Cornwall tonight (Wed night) and you are welcome to join as are your family and friends if you would like. We will be discussing simple non-toxic living strategies in general.  If you cannot make it I will be speaking Thursday morning to a classroom of Massage Therapists and Estheticians at another venue I may be able to get you in.

Speaking of Non-Toxic Living (For those who love themselves and don't want to contribute to environmental problems)

Amazing Superior Simple Solutions Exist To This Problem

Essential Oils as Mouthrinses –

4 The story of the 4 Thieves and the creation of the Young Living Essential Oil blend named Thieves tells of the 4 Thieves during the days of the plague and how they escaped the dreaded disease that ravaged Europe. What's interesting is that this same blend of essential oils can fight the dreaded bacteria that cause cavities and gum diseases… I wonder if the 4 Thieves were aware of this fact.

Thieves Edible Toothpaste and Mouthwash

Here is a collection of studies and statements regarding mouthrinses that contain essential oils. Of course, for best results use only essential oils and essential oil based products that contain therapeutic-grade essential oils, such as Young Living's.

 

 

A 1995 study by Nicole Didry at the College of Pharmaceutical and Biological Sciences in Lille, France, found that thyme oil at very small concentrations (<500 ppm) killed the pathogenic organisms responsible for the tooth decay, gingivitis, and bad breath
 
– Streptococcus mutans

– S. sanguis

– S. milleri

– S. mitis

– Peptostreptococcus anaerobius

– Prevotella buccae

– P. oris

– P. intermedia

 

• The essential oils of thyme, clove and cinnamon possess significant inhibitory affects against 23 different genera of bacteria. – International Journal of Food Microbiology

 

• Essential oils, such as thymol, menthol and eucalyptol, have been used in mouth rinses for over 100 years [and] have been documented to be antibacterial in laboratory tests. With the association of microorganisms and plaque formation, and [their] suspected involvement with carious lesions (tooth decay) and gingivitis, the effect of essential oils takes on new interest. – Journal of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists

 

Clinical Studies

 

• A 1999 study at Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany, using an observer-blind, randomized, cross-over design found that median plaque reductions generated by twice-daily essential oil mouth rinses were 23% greater than a placebo.

 

• The essential oils used were thyme, peppermint, wintergreen, and eucalyptus. – Riep et al., 1999

 

• A six-month, double-blind controlled clinical study at the University of Maryland similarly found that the essential oils of thyme, peppermint, wintergreen, and eucalyptus dramatically improved oral hygiene, killing the bacteria that cause plaque, tooth decay, and gingivitis.

• 20 ml of mouthrinse used twice daily produced a 34% inhibition of both plaque and of gingivitis compared with a control.

 

"It is clear that oral antiseptic mouthwashes and dentifrice formulations have the potential to serve as adjuncts to mechanical methods of plaque control." — Daniel Fine, DMD, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey

 

"In addition to causing cell lysis in organisms responsible for plaque, gingivitis, and oral malodour, studies have shown that essential oil mouthwashes have strong activity against the gram-positive microbes such as Streptococcus mutans, that cause dental caries." —R. Seymour, School of Dental Sciences, University of Newcastle, UK

 

 

"The potential value of antibacterial agents in control of plaque and gingivitis is now well established. One mouthrinse product containing essential oil has also shown promise and has been the subject of numerous short and long-term studies. Based on the findings of these studies, the product has been accepted by the American Dental Association." —J. Moran, University of Bristol Dental School, UK

 

 

"The study benchmarked the relative effectiveness of an antimicrobial mouthrinse showing it to be as effective as dental floss for the control of interproximal gingivitis." —C. Charles, Pfizer

 

 

Essential Oils as Effective Antiseptic Mouthrinses

 

• Essential oils have proved to be even more effective as antiseptic mouthrinses than even FDA-recognized plaque-control antiseptic drugs such as stannous fluoride.

 

• A 1999 study published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology found that an essential oil mouthrinse containing thymol, methyl salycilate (wintergreen), menthol (peppermint), and eucalyptol (Eucalyptus globulus) was far more effective than a stannous fluoride antiseptic.

 

 

Slow Release Systems for Oral Soft Tissues

 

• Liposomal systems that adhere to mucus membranes are designed to slowly release beneficial chemical compounds in the mucus membranes of the mouth and nose

 

• A breath lozenge containing menthol in a mucin-binding system can provide oral freshness longer than a standard menthol lozenge 

 

• Controlled-release liposomes adhere to tooth enamel and mucus membranes

– Controlled release of active ingredients

– Ingredient protection

 

• Liposomes that adhere to dental enamel contain antiseptic essential oils to prevent plaque formation, treat periodontal disease, and prevent dental caries.

 

• The ability of dental liposomes to slowly release essential oils

 

• A saliva-coated tooth is dipped into a solution containing dental liposomes. The liposomes contain a test material. The tooth is sequentially washed with 1.0 ml of buffer 30 times. The test material is removed slowly with the washes. Even after 30 washes, some active material is retained on the tooth.

 

Enduring and Lipid-soluble

 

• 2 thymol-based mouthwashes were compared.

 

• The first was a standard commercial product with no liposome-based delivery; the second used a liposomal delivery system.

 

• The level of thymol measured in saliva over a period of five minutes was measured. With the commercial product, thymol levels dropped off quickly, whereas with the liposome-based mouthwash, there was a significantly higher level of thymol in each saliva sample.

 

For these reasons and many more is why I choose to use Young Living Essential Oils line of Thieves oral care products.
