Natural eggshell tooth powder

Tooth powder - since my Greenland kayak trip this year I’ve been questioning pretty much everything we’ve been taught. Food being the main upheaval for me. It has, and is an ongoing source of research and investigation. The biggest problem is UPF (ultra processed food) and how Big Food is screwing over our collective health in search for every greater profits- this in turn feeds into Big Pharma who, instead of fixing the vast majority of issues BEFORE they occur by giving the food system a massive makeover, make obscene profits by peddling pills after the problems occur when it’s almost always too late. Grrr. And then - just look at the water companies and the literal crap they pump into our river systems - these are the same companies that we trust to supply us with fresh water 😳. A natural progression for me was toothpaste - go take a look at the ingredients list on the back of any popular toothpaste brand. It’s just a long list of chemicals. And sugar. My trust in Big Companies eroded to zero a while ago, I have no faith that the contents of that tube are there for anything but making profits. So I’m making my own. Similarly embedded in the ‘eat your environment’ ethos, ie we evolved over hundreds of thousands of years by eating food that we only collected or hunted from our immediate environment and it’s only in the last few generations that w’ve turned that on its head with the hyper-capitalist system that forgoes health and well being over the need for profit. And it’s the same with our teeth. Our mouths are a fab little ecosystem of bacteria that are working with us - by obliterating that twice a day with a commercial toothpaste it’s no wonder that our teeth are so screwed up (whilst the dental industry makes billions…). Powdered eggshell is just one way of cleaning your teeth - sticks, dirt, bones and skin have all been used in the past to clean our teeth, to me it makes sense to use eggshell - a material very similar to teeth. I don’t go crazy with it - just a dab and a light brush all over. And my mouth feels super clean. Next up I’ll try and add mint/licorice and/or eucalyptus….
