How a Healthy Mouth Helps Strengthen Your Immunity
Turmeric, green tea, vitamin C, vitamin D, glutathione, zinc, fulvic acid (among others) are all great ways to boost your immune system. But, did you know that another way to boost your immune system is to make sure you have a healthy mouth?
Why does my mouth matter when it comes to my immune system?
Your oral biome impacts whole-body immunity
Here’s why - your immune system only has a limited number of resources (immune cells in the form of antibodies, white blood cells) that can help keep the entire body healthy. If your body’s resources are focused on fighting an oral health problem, such as an excess of harmful bacteria in your mouth, it may have fewer immune cells available to fight other health threats. This can make you more susceptible to getting sick.
Key practices for supporting oral and immune health
To keep your mouth healthy and your immune system ready to fight, it is important that your oral care products do the following:
Tip: if you get sick and have a white coated tongue, use our Tongue Cleaner in the morning and night. This is very helpful especially if you have a sore throat - follow up with a salt gargle.
3. Systemically remove toxins and bad bacteria. Oil Pulling reaches 100% of your mouth and can reach deeper into the body, assuming you use for 15 minutes or longer.
If you follow our 5 Step Oral Care Routine, and Guide to Holistic Oral Health, using our Natural Oral Care, your teeth and gums will stay strong and healthy, and so will your immune system!
Here’s to your health!
