Mandi Makes Tooth Tonic: deals Morning Sickness, hangover, eating disorder Acid Neutralizing Essential Oil Mouthwash
As a registered dental hygienist, I have the opportunity to meet and educate patients from every walk. From moms-to-be experiencing morning sickness, to those who wake up with terrible hangovers, to those struggling with eating disorders. Whatever the cause of getting sick, an acidic environment is created in the mouth from stomach acids. Patients may not be aware that brushing the teeth following these events will cause erosion of the enamel. Most individuals will usually want to brush the teeth after vomiting to freshen the mouth and remove the residue. This is actually counterproductive. Stomach acid has a pH of 1 to 2. Brushing after vomiting actually swirls that acid straight into the enamel, potentially causing permanent damage. After years of talking to patients about the dangers of an acidic environment to enamel, I created a product that will neutralize acid, calm a queasy tummy and protect those pearly whites: Mandi-Makes Tooth Tonic.
Morning sickness is a part of pregnancy for many women. An estimated 70 to 80 percent of pregnant women deals experience morning sickness. Acid from your stomach can be strong enough to contribute to tooth erosion, according to the American Congress of Obestricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). If you suffer from heartburn or acid reflux later in your pregnancy, the gastric acid can have the same effect on your teeth. Just about everyone has experienced a hangover. Alcohol irritates your stomach lining and increases production of gastric acid, pancreatic and intestinal secretions. This can lead to nausea and vomiting. Surveys show a rate of approximately 1.5 percent of the US female population and 0.5 percent of the male population has experienced bulimia in their lifetimes. With any of these situations, the result is the same. Although you may be tempted to brush your teeth immediately after a bout of sickness, the best thing you can do to protect your enamel is swish with a basic solution that will neutralize that acid. Mandi-Makes Tooth Tonic is not only a neutralizing mouthwash, it contains all natural, organic essential oils with properties known to calm an upset stomach. One 8oz bottle of each of the following flavors is included in every gift box:
Eucalyptus is not only a potent refreshing flavor, it is also an antibacterial agent. Eucalyptus oil is used to treat pain, reduce inflammation, kill germs, improve healing, and eliminate bad breath. It's another ancient remedy with a host of benefits. Research indicates it has antibacterial and anti-plaque properties, which enables it to help fight gum disease and decay.
Peppermint is known for its cooling and numbing elements which can effectively soothe tooth and muscle aches. Research has found that peppermint oil is exceptionally powerful for fighting oral pathogens and killing common bacteria that can lead to cavities and gum disease. It is also known for helping with smell sensitivities. Some researchers believe it relaxes the gastric muscles and keeps them from cramping up or over-contracting.
Ginger essential oil is one of the best natural remedies for indigestion, diarrhea, spasms, stomach aches and even vomiting. Modern science-based research indicates Ginger essential oil has an array of health-promoting properties. Ginger essential oil is employed by holistic healthcare practitioners, herbalists and aromatherapists for a diversity of health benefits. A component of ginger essential oil, called zingibain, is responsible for the oil's anti-inflammatory properties and can aid in reducing excessive inflammation of the gums during pregnancy (pregnancy gingivitis).
Each adorably crafted box contains a set of 3 completely natural and organic mouthwashes. Rinsing for 30 seconds after sickness will neutralize the acids from the stomach, saving enamel from permanent and potentially costly damage. All packaging is eco-friendly and recyclable, including the amber glass bottles that preserve the integrity of the essential oils. Every bottle is secured with a tamper-proof safety seal. Directions for use along with the benefits of each oil are on an instruction card included with each order. Separation of the oils is natural so don't forget to shake before use!
This set is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to keep their teeth healthy and safe after those not-so-fun moments during pregnancy, after a night of one too many or any occasion where one might find themselves cozying up to the commode.
