Did you know that anything you put into your mouth is absorbed immediately and shows up in your blood within 60 seconds? The mucus lining in our mouth is a thin barrier rich with blood vessels that can thus absorb anything – good or bad – within seconds. In modern science this is called “transmucosal digestion.” Transmucosal digestion is fast an effective because it bypasses the digestive system – stomach and liver – and circulates all over your body (and brain) within seconds!
This delivery route was well known in the millennial science of Ayurveda. In Ayurveda we not only learn to be careful about what we put in our mouths, but we also learn about what can help with oral and overall health through herbs and plants.
Vaidya RK Mishra not only explained how it is possible to have toxin-free 100% natural ayurvedic oral care, but he also had to formulate it for his clients, because what was available was just not good enough 15 years ago. Nor is it even today…
He explained how, in ancient India, daily oral care was maintained by chewing or sucking on twigs or leaves of specific plants, such as: Neem (Azadirachta indica); Khadir (Acacia nilotica); Karanj (Pongamia glabra). These herbs not only served like a brush scraping away plaque, but the fresh juice from the twig or the leaf also cleaned and protected against bacteria. In addition, home-made herbal tooth powders were also used. For tongue scraping, stems of specific plants were used. For flossing, the Neem leaf stem was used. Toothaches were treated with clove or clove leaf oil. A mixture of herbal oils was used for gargling morning and evening. Gum infection or gingivitis was addressed with an infusion of Neem leaf, Gymnema, Licorice, and Clove leaf.
During his studies at the Ayurvedic college, Vaidya Mishra also found ample scientific evidence supporting the oral care wisdom of ancient Ayurvedic texts. Not only do Neem, Karanj, Babool, Shaal, or Sakura have tremendous properties to support dental health, but they also support the health of the entire body, AND, here is the best part: WITHOUT any side-effects!
Vaidya Mishra explained: “The great seers of Ayurveda knew that the oral mucosa could absorb the medicinal properties of herbs and deliver them to the organs and organ systems in our body efficiently and immediately. In fact, did you know that dental care can be designed and used to address overall physical ailments? My father, Vaidya Kameshwar Mishra, once healed a poor student with a liver ailment by recommending that he brush his teeth with a fresh stick of the Guduchi plant every morning.
After moving to Europe and later to the United States in 1994, I began to notice that people have far more dental health issues here than in my native village in India. I attributed this to many factors: not only does the modern western routine and diet lack the plants and herbs of ayurvedic oral-care; even clean fresh air and fresh spring water are scarce. These, in addition to a fresh healthy diet, play a central role in optimal dental health. To compound the problem, most toothpastes, even those with a label that reads “all natural,” contain chemicals such as SLS, Parabens, or Fluoride. This inspired me to formulate authentic Ayurvedic products by using only organic (and/or wild-crafted) herbs and 100% natural pranic ayurvedic preservation. Try and see for yourself how they can help your oral health! Ayurvedic products should be rich in physical and vibrational prana, capable of healing AND nourishing the oral cavity, as well as rejuvenating the entire physiology. Namaste!” — Vaidya RK Mishra
