I am a big proponent of taking care of my teeth naturally and holistically. As the saying goes, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” The last time I went to a dentist was about 4 years ago when I removed my amalgam filling. After being disillusioned by at least three incompetent dentists, I realized I required to take responsibility for the health and longevity of my own teeth. One dentist, in realizing I had a slight jaw misalignment, actually suggested he break my jaw and put a metal post in it to fix it. What?! Are you serious?! He was. He had this insane procedure done on himself. Poor man! As for me, I will stick with my slight overbite thank you very much!

What are the main reasons people go to the dentist? One, to check for cavities. Two, to fix misalignments. And three, to get a semi-annual cleaning. Proper nutrition can prevent and even reverse cavities and teeth misalignment (especially in children). In his well researched book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, Weston Price, a dentist, found nutrition had a direct impact on dental health and jaw bone structure. In an effort to find out why so many “civilized” people had dental problems, he studied several tribes of indigenous people. When these tribes consumed their natural diet they NEVER had any issues with their teeth or need for dental care! Once fed a western diet, the dental health of these same indigenous people, and especially their offspring, rapidly deteriorated. The hundreds of photos in this book are worth a thousand words!

As for the semi-annual cleaning. I have the perfect alternative solution for you! This tooth powder recipe, which I found on herbmentor.com, is the best way to clean teeth I know of. As most of you may already be aware of, conventional toothpaste is chock full of harmful ingredients. Sodium fluoride (used in rat poison), blue dye, sodium lauryl sulfate, triclosan, and hydrated silica just to name a few. Even organic healthier toothpaste versions have ingredients which can be too harsh and abrasive or can coat our enamel, therefore never allowing our teeth to be fully clean. So obviously a professional cleaning would be useful for those who use toothpaste. This tooth powder, on the other hand, leaves my teeth feeling as clean and fresh as a visit to the dentist. I like it even better than tooth soap, which is also a great alternative to toothpaste. In addition, the kaolin clay in this recipe is reported (by a dentist) to feel and look exactly the same as the expensive tooth polishing agent in her office. Hmmmmmm….

Tooth Powder:
1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup sea salt
1/4 cup kaolin clay
30 drops spearmint oil
1 tbsp. ground dried sage (helps whiten teeth)

Mix ingredients well and store in airtight container. To use, dab a small amount of tooth powder on wet toothbrush and brush as usual.

Oh, and remember to floss!

Two weeks ago something very strange happened to me… I developed a sore throat. This is strange because it has been extremely rare for me to have any sign or symptom of “sickness” in the last several years since beginning my raw food journey and doing a lot of detoxing and cleanses (lemonade fast, liver/gallbladder flush, colon cleanse, etc.). So imagine how surprised I was one afternoon to feel pain in my throat area which only increased as the day unfolded. That evening, my pain was so intense, I had a difficult time going to sleep. To top it off, my sweet son was teething, which means his sinuses were affected and he was waking up every few minutes crying. I was experiencing what it feels to be a mother who needs rest and babying but instead has to take care of her own needy baby. Not fun. As I was wondering how I could make the most of my situation, I remembered the amazing power of essential oils. Essential oils are a concentrated form of herbal medicine. Just a few drops can be equivalent to several pounds of plant material.

I asked Bryan to make me a sore throat gargle. He warmed up 4 ounces of spring water and added 2 drops Eucalyptus, 5 drops lemon, and 2 drops wintergreen essential oil. I gargled all of it and immediately my throat felt better! Then, I added a couple drops of tea tree oil to organic coconut oil and rubbed it on the bottom of David’s feet and on on his back. That did the trick!! We both enjoyed a good night’s sleep! The next day, I did a neti pot with essential oils. We mix 8 Tbsp. of high quality sea salt with 10 drops of rosemary oil and 6 drops of tea tree oil. Then we add 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. of this mixture into 2 cups warm water for our neti pot. During the day I also ate light and had lots of juices and herbal infusions, which I offered to David too. That night, we both felt great! My sore throat was gone and David slept like a baby! awwwwww!

Hello my fellow Alchemists!! Today I bring you part 3 of my Personal Alchemy series. If you haven’t seen my other videos in this series Click Here for part 1 and Click Here for part 2. This week I am focusing on the Air Element which to me represents our Etheric body. When I was a baby I had challenges with my lungs and my breathing and as a result I have put a lot of my attention on the air element in my life and have extensively studied “the perfect breath” and breathwork. Watch my video below to learn about this most vital element…

First, I must say, more important than any special way of breathing is to become aware of our own breath and follow our own body’s rhythm. It’s best to let every part of your body breath. Allow your body to move and undulate when you breathe. Babies breathe with their whole bodies, even their fingers and toes. Practice trusting your breath and allowing “spirit to breathe you.” That being said, it is also helpful to practice certain breathing techniques and explore the inspiration, insight, healing and relaxation which come with it. Here are my favorites…

1. Breath of Love: This is a particular rebirth breathing pattern I have studied and have become certified in. It is supposedly the “ideal breath” that humans and animals are meant to use. It represents our relationship to the universe. On the inhale you take in as much air as possible, filling both the lower abdomen and upper part of your lungs. This represents how much you are willing to take in from the universe around you, how much you are open to, how effortlessly you are open to it, and how satisfied you are when you get what you want. The exhale is then quickly dropped with no effort or force. You just relax your abdomen and lungs. This represents what you think the universe does: does it accept your old, stale, used substance? Does it reject you? Do you have to fight to get rid of something? The in and out breath is connected and flowing like the waves of the ocean crashing onto the sand and pulling back into the ocean. This represents your willingness to be present and live in the moment, Right NOW.

2. Rhythmic Holy Breath: This is a common Yoga breath. The pattern is inhale-hold-exhale-hold for equal amounts of time. I like to add visualization to my breathing such as…
*On the inbreath, breathe the love/light of God into your body
*As you hold your breath, visualize assimilating the love/light of God
*On the outbreath, expand the love/light of God into every cell, organ and electron of your physical, etheric, mental and emotional bodies
*As you hold the breath out, deliberately project the assimilated love/light of God into the heart of every man, woman and child
Repeat this pattern for several minutes until you feel light, calm, and relaxed:)

How To Cleanse Your Respiratory System:

1. Nauli: It’s best to do this exercise first thing in the morning before you have had any food or drink. Stand outside or near a window to receive fresh Prana filled air. Bend over at the waist and fully exhale. When you feel you have exhaled fully exhale even more. Then stand up and pull your belly in. Your abdomen will be concave. Hold for a little bit and then push your belly out and slowly allow air to come back in to your lungs. The bottom of our lungs can hold in stagnant air for a LONG time and this yoga technique will clean it all out!

2. Neti Pot: This will clean out your sinus passages. I haven’t quite mastered this one yet (it took me a while to even get the guts up to try it;), but it really does work and there are many things you can do with your neti pot. I suggest you research how to best use it. Adding a little sea salt and essential oils to your water is very refreshing and healing too.

Ok, it’s now time to watch part 4! Click Here to get started:)

These are probably the most nutritious Thai Noodles you will ever put into your body:)

Kelp noodles are made from the clear substance you can find in between a piece of kelp when you peel it apart. I discovered this one evening while taking a luscious seaweed bath. So they are actually raw (I had my doubts at first too). Kelp noodles make it super easy for me to get my weekly seaweed nutrition (I like to consume seaweed about 3 times per week). The dressing is both creamy and spicy. It tastes even better if you leave it in the fridge for several hours and let the flavors meld. If you end up trying this recipe please let me know what you think!

KELP SEAWEED BENEFITS:

• Excellent source of minerals! Especially rich in potassium, iron, iodine, vitamin B6, riboflavin, and fiber.
• Helps the thyroid produce thyroid hormones because of the high amounts of iodine found in kelp. The thyroid influences all body functions and stimulates energy production of the cellular mitochondria.
• Is shown to absorb and eliminate radioactive elements and heavy metal contaminants from our bodies because of the phytochemicals contained in kelp.
• Contains polysaccharides… Xylose, which is antibacterial and anti-fungal… Fucose, which supports long-term memory and fights allergies… Galactose, which also improves memory and aids in the absorption of good calcium.
• It is a wild, non-hybridized food!

Check out this amazing drink inspired by my good friend Brian Smith. Goji Lemonade is a huge staple for me. It is so smooth and refreshing! In addition it has super nutrition with high amounts of electrolytes and minerals! Who could ask for more . . .

Lemons assist our body in optimal hydration. The juice of lemons can lower the surface tension in water and therefor allow our cells to absorb more liquid. This is why cultures all over the world have intuitively added a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to their water or other drinks.

The high amounts of potassium found in lemons together with sodium works for the nervous system in transmitting messages as well as regulating the construction of muscles. By drinking Goji Lemonade you get hydrated, you get your electrolytes, and you get a smile on your face:)

Enjoy!
