Gut health morning oral hygiene routine 🦷
A very important part of maintaining a healthy gut is maintaining good oral hygiene 🪥.
Did you know that the health of your mouth can impact your gut?
Yes!
Our mouths are the gatekeepers to our guts meaning... that our gut microbiome and oral health are connected! keeping a healthy mouth is so important for gut health.
Here is a gut healthy morning oral hygiene routine 👇🏼
🥥 Coconut oil pulling: Oil pulling can help to remove bad bacteria that causes bad breath, it can help reduce inflammation, help prevent cavities, it can even help whiten teeth and help with detoxification of the body too. Swish 1 tablespoon around in mouth for 7-15 minutes, spit into trash can. Do 3x per week!
👅 Tongue Scraping: tongue scraping removes about 80% more bacteria than a regular toothbrush! This is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that clears toxins and dead cells from the tongue. it even promotes positive digestive health & activates saliva production which is needed for strong digestion. Do daily in the morning after waking up as the body heavily detoxes overnight. Do before brushing teeth!
🪥 Mineral based toothpaste & mouthwash: using a quality toothpaste brand & mouth wash is important! one of my favorite is the Risewell brand. Brush teeth and mouthwash after. I also floss as well to remove plaque in between teeth. Save this post so you can reference for the future! & cheers to a healthy mouth + a healthy gut babes 🫶🏻

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for optimal gut health as the mouth is the entry point for digestive processes. Proper oral care helps prevent harmful bacteria from entering the gut, which can lead to digestive issues. Coconut oil pulling has been praised for its detoxifying properties, helping to eliminate bad bacteria and reduce inflammation. This ancient practice not only freshens breath but can also contribute to overall wellness. Performing oil pulling 2-3 times a week can significantly improve oral and gut health. Tongue scraping is another essential routine. This Ayurvedic practice removes a substantial amount of bacteria and debris from the tongue, promoting better digestion and enhanced flavor perception of food. Scraping the tongue lovingly allows your gut to perform efficiently as the body can effectively process and absorb nutrients. Finally, using high-quality, mineral-based toothpaste and mouthwash enriches your oral care regime. Brands like Risewell provide the necessary ingredients to combat plaque without toxic elements. Incorporating daily flossing ensures that food particles and bacteria are removed from between your teeth, safeguarding your mouth and gut. Care for your mouth every morning not only boosts your oral health but also supports your digestive system for a robust life!
