Benefits of Walnut Bark Powder for Oral Hygiene

  • Cleans and whitens the teeth by supplementing the composition of healthy enamel (not by bleaching). Consequently it takes several months for the full colour improvement to take place, although you will begin to see the improvement much sooner.
  • Strengthens and tightens gums, helping to prevent bleeding gums. Reduces inflammation of the gums.
  • Inhibits microorganisms representing Gram-positive bacteria like (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans), Gram negative bacteria like (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and pathogenic yeast (Candida albicans) due the presence of juglons and glycocides.
  • Increased pH (making the saliva less acid) and reducing corrosion of enamel and dentine.
  • Reduces the adherence of bacteria by the presence of Polyphenols.
  • Keeps the mouth feeling fresh after use as a mouth wash for up to 3 hours after rinsing by reduced total streptococcal counts in salivary samples.

Walnut Bark Dry Tooth Powder

Wet your toothbrush and dip it into the powder. Use for cleaning and whitening the teeth. Or mix with other dry ingredients such as ultra ventilated clay powder, finely ground sea salt, etc.

Toothpaste Mix with Walnut Bark Powder

with a little water or mix with coconut oil. Make up small quantities at a time.

Mouth Wash with Walnut Bark Powder

Make up a solution containing 15g of Walnut Bark and 100ml of boiled water. Once cool enough to use, swish around the teeth for several minutes. This is very beneficial for the gums. Follow by rinsing.

Interim Treatment Loose Teeth

It is really important to make sure you are under the care of a dentist, but as an interim measure, use your finger to gently apply walnut bark powder to the gums around the loose teeth at night. Rinse out in the morning.

Interim Treatment Gum Abscesses

Again see a dentist and take their advice. In the meantime, cut a small piece of muslin cloth, fold walnut bark powder inside the cloth and place it next to the effected gum. Leave in place except for when eating of drinking and change two or three times a day.

General Advice

We encourage our customers to use a mixture of methods and techniques for cleaning the teeth to get a range of benefits.

We have several types of toothbrush: the Light Activated Ionic Brushes (Solar) which use light to create a charge to remove plaque and cleans the bucal surfaces.

Traditional Boar Bristle Toothbrushes

Tree Roots – Miswak Sticks which are a brush, toothpaste all in one and can be used to create mouthwash.

Olive Tree Sticks – again a toothbrush / toothpaste

Ultra Ventilated Green Clay to make toothpaste or mouthwash – to help detox the gum and tissues, especially with mercury fillings.

We also sell several types of floss: Plain Silk Radius Floss

Slightly minty Silk Floss by Dental Lace – these come in a glass vial and refills are available
Charcoal Bamboo Vegan Floss by Dental Lace, again in glass vials with refills available.

We do believe that toothcare should never be boring.

WARNING

Do not use if allergic to walnuts.

An amazing, if sometimes dark, memoir of work, solitude, and taking a pragmatic path in life.
Format: Hardcover
What do you do, when your only viable financial prospects are to move to even more remote, cold, dark and desolate land where you are part of a corporate mining operation dredging sands for valuable resources, living onsite in a company owned dormitory? Beaton recalls all this in her memoir of her post-university time, where she was faced with this decision to either live and work the oil sands, or face a life of financial bondage trying to pay back student loans, a decision we see many of her own countrymen face as their only viable means to survive. If you are familiar with Beaton's comic strip work, you'll see familiar reference to the genesis of it here, but Ducks is a far more serious graphic novel. Both engaging and often times bleak, Ducks gives a wonderful window into the reality of Canada's oil industry, and the humanity of the people, who are nothing more than cogs in a machine, that run it.

What is NOT to love about Lynda Barry?
Format: Paperback
I’ve been reading Lynda Barry since the 80s and am currently at work on a graphic novel, that I’m writing and illustrating. I have always believed in learning from the best and Barry has always been a favorite, from the creativity, recall and connections she makes with her work as well as with me (and I assume her other readers as well). This book delves into the connections of words and images, how to conjure and connect, especially with the whole creative vibe. She works with young people and the pipeline to that cerebral communication is appreciated and thought provoking as well, as my work will be geared to a younger audience. This is for anyone who interested in the process of sequential art, creating comics, characters, connecting with creative elements, it’s also a visually stunning book (again, the nerd in me, loved all the cross-references with the visual and other, using calligraphic and other historic, formal art elements along with the more personal character, visual creations and exercises. Thought-provoking and image inducing, indeed!

Lynda Barry is Awesome
Format: Kindle
This book is fantastic if you want to make comics by yourself or with a classroom. Barry packs in loads of experience teaching and making art. Her style of drawing is simple and straight forward. She uses a great method that empowers the reader to make art and share it. I want to be half the teacher Barry is.

This! Book! Rocks!
Format: Paperback
If you enjoy laughing, having fun with your friends and family, and doing cool stuff, you will love Lynda Barry's Making Comics. This is a thoughtful and complete recap of her live class at the University of Wisconsin, includes much of her substantial thought and philosophy on the role of image making in human evolution, and is full of her (and her students') amazing artwork; but it's also full of excessively FUN drawing exercises that are wonderful for sucky drawers as well as professional artists. We dig this book so bad!!! Best gift I've given myself in a million years!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I had a little bit forgotten how much I! Love! Lynda! Barry!!!!! So if you wish you could go move to Wisconsin and take her class like I do, instead just save the planet the extra greenhouse gases and get this book instead and do the class at your kitchen table with your friends!!! Maybe also order it from your local groovy independent bookstore so you can stick it to the man!!!
