Bakanasan Propolis Oral Care
When it comes to oral hygiene wildlife had long been way ahead of humans. Actually we only caught up since the 19th century when it has become customary to regularly brush the teeth. The chimps came up with this idea much earlier. In the wild one can observe that they chew on fibrous branches after eating to clean their teeth. In addition, straws and grasses are used, which can be used as dental floss. The crocodile has an even more elegant solution: it makes someone clean its teeth. Responsible for this is a very special bird, with the appropriate name ”Crocodile Bird“. The small birdie and the giant reptile benefit from each other. The crocodile is freed from pesky food residues in the interdental spaces. Therefore it simply has to open its mouth. The bird does not only find food in the mouth of the crocodile but also protection from predators. Because no other animal dares to come close to the powerful jaws of the scaly monster. Sharks do not have to think about dental care either. Sharks have not only one row of teeth, but several, which act like a kind of queue. Once a tooth falls out, a new one erupts from behind. If it doesn’t break off while feeding, it will be automatically replaced after about 2 weeks. In their lifetime, some sharks can lose up to 30,000 teeth.
In contrast to sharks humans can’t easily replace their teeth. After we lose our baby teeth, we have to live with the same teeth for the rest of our lives. Accordingly carefully one should take care of them. In the past, this was usually only common practice in a few cultures. In the Indian medicine Ayurveda oral hygiene already plays an important role since more than 2,000 years ago. To prevent diseases, the teeth were cleaned by chewing branches of the toothbrush tree. In addition, some oil was moved around in the mouth in the so called ”oil pulling“. Thereby the oil was also moved through the spaces between the teeth. In Europe, however, only the toothpick was used for a long time. In case of complaints the tooth had to be pulled from a barber surgeon or a blacksmith. Until the early 19th century men and women who still had all their teeth at the age of 30 years were an exception.
Responsible for the formation of caries are certain bacteria, the mutans streptococci. However, one does not have them from the moment of birth on, but picks them up in the course of life. They feed on dental plaque, especially on the carbohydrates contained therein. These are metabolized by them to an acid which in turn dissolves calcium and phosphate from our enamel. If nothing is done against that, there will be a hole in the tooth sometime. However, regular teeth brushing and an adequate oral hygiene can prevent caries very well. Regarding their Propolis Oral Care products Bakanasan puts the focus on the power of the bees. While 700 species of bacteria are living in our mouth, a beehive is almost as sterile as an operating room. As a protection against bacteria, viruses or fungus, the interior of the hive is in fact coated with a thin layer of propolis. Thanks to this homemade protection resin up to 50,000 honeybees can live together in the smallest spaces without the fear of germs.
The Propolis Toothpaste by Bakanasan cleans the teeth with mild cleansing substances and strengthens the gums with propolis extract, sage and chamomile. The perfect addition to the Toothpaste is the Propolis Mouthwash: Two to three splashes in half a glass of water is enough to rinse the oral cavity and to freshen it up. While the Propolis Oral Spray preventively cares for the mucous membrane in the mouth and throat with thyme and sage extracts, the Propolis Mouth and Lip Gel has a soothing effect on irritations with the pleasant properties of chamomile and myrrh. With the Bakanasan Propolis Oral Care products you can use one of the most amazing bee products for your personal well-being.
