Things You Need To Know About Holistic Oral Health
Internet has tons of content which tells us about holistic oral health. However, a few people actually know what holistic oral health is. One thing that you need to know in this concern is that holistic oral health basically talks about the deeper connection between oral and overall health.
Healing the metal disconnect with the mouth
It is quite fundamental to heal the mental disconnect with our mouth. It has been unfortunate that many people talk about the holistic oral health but they do not heal the mental disconnect with their mouths. If you are not working on healing this mental disconnect with your mouth, you are not going to get any lasting positive change.
“What goes in the mouth stays in the mouth” is a myth
This myth says that if you put something in your mouth and spit it out after some time without swallowing, it would not have any effect on your health. However, the research suggests that it is not true.
When we put something in our mouth and do not swallow it, our gums and inner cheeks absorb it. In the end, it ends up in our bloodstream. If you have ever used a homeopathic medicine, you may know that you absorb the medicine after putting it under the tongue. Angina patients also put drugs under their tongue and they are good to go in a few moments.
Why is it important to heal the mental disconnection with our mouths?
The modern culture ‘over-compartmentalizes’ the body. This compartmentalization is helpful for the medical students as they have to learn the medicine according to what they want to specialize in.
Mouth is also a part of the body but you cannot just separate it from the rest of your body. It is so connected with the body systems that learning about the impact of changes in oral cavity on other systems gets really important. Perhaps, this is the reason that dentists keep saying that there is a huge connection between gum disease and other systematic health disorders including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis and stroke. After knowing that poor oral health can lead to such health disorders wouldn’t you like to pay attention to your oral health and hygiene? You would surely like to pay attention in this regard.
One of the most important things in this regard is to keep the toxins out of your mouth. since it is the fact that oral cavity can directly absorb the toxins without you swallowing what you have kept in the mouth, it gets really important to make sure that you do not even consider chewing toxic something which you will spit out.
In the end, it is worth mentioning that going to the dentist regularly is one of the most important things you need to consider if you truly want to maintain your oral as well as overall health.
