Whiten your teeth with these home-remedies

teeth whiteningDon’t we all wish we had teeth sparkling white? Whiter than fresh snow or milk? Today, thanks to advanced cosmetic and dental technologies, white teeth are no longer a fantasy. They are possible to get with or without your dentist’s help. Here’s how:

* Half a tablespoon of baking soda (soda bi-carbonate) mixed with a little water to form a paste should be gently rubbed on the teeth. This can make teeth pearly white to some extent.

* Take a tsp of lemon juice and combine it with salt to make a paste. This paste definitely helps to get rid of those yellowish stains that mar the beauty of your teeth.

* Use the inner white of an orange peel to rub teeth for a whitish shine.

* Munch fruits like apples strawberries quite often. And as mentioned in one of the previous posts, they act as nature’s own toothbrushes to cleanse and whiten your teeth. Even rubbing a slice on your teeth helps, but do remember to rinse your mouth well.

* You may even chew crunchy carrots and celery leaves. These too are natural teeth cleansers.

* Dried and powdered bay leaves (Tej patta) combined with dried and powdered lemon peel or orange peel is also an excellent teeth whitener.

* Rubbing teeth with sage leaves also helps to get rid of yellowish stains on the teeth.

* Dried and powdered neem leaves can also be used to cleanse your teeth.

* Though a most common remedy, rubbing equal quantities of table salt and soda bicarbonate lends a bright sparkle to the teeth.

* You can consider veneer treatment for serious stains.

    Which of these tips would you suggest for sensitive teeth? Most whitening products--the strips for example--really hurt my teeth.

    Any of these home-remedies should work for sensitive teeth. But if your teeth is too sensitive avoid the baking soda/ lemon remedy.

    two tablespoons of dried shredded basil to one cup (200 ml) with cold water.
    Then let it soak for ten minutes to boil, leave covered 15 minutes to cool.
    Filter the resulted liquid.
    Rinse your mouth several times per day, for at least 1 week. It helps on fresh breath and health tooth.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Lice infestation is such a bothersome, distracting and embarrassing problem. Surely everyone harbors them at one time or the other. It is usually common among school children but soon spreads to other members of the family. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a sign of poor hygiene, as lice are not fussy whether they lay their eggs in clean or dirty hair. But yes, a dirty scalp can well serve as a perfect breeding ground for these tiresome creatures. Lice get transferred easily from child to child owing to the close contact of heads, during play, while sitting together or by sharing caps.
