Gum Disease Treatments

I get this question asked quite a lot so here’s the main active ingredients in Oram Plus:

1. Helichrysum italicum - also know as the curry plant, this herb has extremely powerful anti-inflammatory properties (for red, inflamed gums) and also acts as a very effective cell re-generator (which is thought to help regrow lost gum tissue or receding gums)

2. Leptospermum scoparium - common name manuka, is a powerful antibacterial agent which has been proven in scientific studies to completely kill Periodontopathic bacterial strains (the bacteria that causes gum and periodontal disease) in under 30 seconds!

3. Commiphora myrrha, commanly known as Myrrh, is becoming scientifically recognized to possess significant antiseptic, anesthetic, wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties so is great all round extract for gum problems!

4. Eugenia caryophyllus, Known commanly as Clove Bud, contains a natural compound called eugenol which is not only a powerful local antiseptic (for gum pain) but is also proven to kill the oral pathogens that are the primary cause of all gum problems!

5. Mentha piperita, also known as field mint, leaves a fresh minty taste in the mouth while being a great all round oral anti-bacterial agent against gum disease 

6. Citrus Limonum, is an essential oil expressed from the rind of the common lemon; it exerts good antibacterial and astringent properties while being great a stopping bleeding gums almost instantly!

7. Thymus Vulgaris, One of the most powerful broad spectrum anti-bacterial agents in the world, this is bacteria’s worse nightmare!

8. Mentha Arvensis, commonly known as natural peppermint, acts as a natural flavour enhancer while providing antibacterial protection against oral pathogens!

9. Alpha Tocopherol, or Natural derived vitamin E, is twice as bio-active as synthetic (commercial) vitamin E and provides good antioxidant support for health teeth and gums

10. Vitis Vinifera, commonly known as Grape-seed, is packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidents and has astringent qualities to support a healthy environment for your teeth and gums!

A Grapefruit a day (well 2 actually) may infact help with gum disease!

 A study (at the Friedrich Schiller University in Germany) suggests; Eating two grapefruits a day for two weeks may help those with gum disease

 The data suggests that Eating grapefruit daily increases the serum vitamin C level and relieves periodontitis, gum bleeding and gum disease!

Did you know that it is not normal and healthy for your gums to bleed when you brush or floss your teeth? It’s long been thought to be a sign that you’re doing a “good job” brushing when your gums bleed. The truth is that it is a warning sign of gingivitis, which often leads to gum disease.

The best thing you can do for bleeding gums is to switch from a conventional toothpaste to an all natural gum health treatment. Conventional toothpastes contain all sorts of synthetic, unhealthful ingredients, including fluoride. While fluoride is reputed to be good for your teeth, it is one of the most toxic chemicals known to man.

Natural essential oils are great healers. By treating bleeding gums in the beginning, you can prevent gum disease later.
