I've had problems with my teeth, gums and skin all my life, I attribute it to my Capricorn sun sign and my Mother's genetics (at least for the tooth problems). Several years ago I had to undergo some major, painful gum surgery, and was told that I had to brush & floss three times a day, and rinse with Lysterine or the equivilent twice a day. I called my twice a day torture my "Son of a B*#@!" ritual...because that is exactly what I would scream as the mouthwash burned and left me in agony.
I thought there has got to be a better way...and I found it with these wonderful, all-natural, cruelty-free, vegan ayurvedic products featuring Neem, the bark of a tree that has been used as a "natural toothbrush" in India for thousands of years. The Neem tree is one of the most highly prized plants in Ayurvedic medicine, it's used in the treatment of skin and scalp conditions, inflammation, fevers, dental health, lowering blood sugar and the healing of wounds. Modern studies have shown Neem to be a natural anti-bacterial agent with analgesic and anti-fungal properties, this stuff ROCKS!
