Answers:
Take 10 sticks (approximately 2 ounces).
Chop up with kitchen knife or cleaver.
Place in stainless steel glass or enamel pot.
Pour in two quarts of filtered or distilled water.
Boil for 30-40 minutes or when water is down to one quart or less.
Cool down, strain and pour into a bottle.
Use at least 2 ounces per brushing.
Pour into small glass and put enough in mouth to soak both teeth and gums at the same time.
Keep in for 2-4 minutes, then brush with toothbrush.
Rinse again with plain water, gargle and rinse again with chewstick water.
Clove is a natural pain killer, so if there is any pain in teeth or gums, add 1 teaspoonful of whole cloves or one drop of Clove oil to the chewsticks when boiling. The powerful anesthetic properties of clove oil ensure that it is a staple in the dentist's surgery. Dressings containing clove oil are very effective in cleansing and soothing holes in the teeth and aching empty tooth sockets. For the treatment of toothache at home, put a drop of clove oil in a tablespoon full of warm water, soak some cotton wool in this, screw up a tiny ball of the cotton wool and apply this to the affected tooth.
Myrrh can be used to treat mouth ulcers and bad breath. Mouth ulcers may result from a variety of causes varying from friction from a denture or rough tooth, poor circulation, bacterial or fungal infection (Candida) or possibly an undetected food allergy. Mouth ulcers almost always occur in people that are "run down" physically or emotionally stressed.
Add one drop of myrrh to a half of glass of water or chewstick water. Makes an excellent antiseptic mouthwash for ulcers, gingivitis, bad breath, bleeding gums, and also strengthens spongy gums.
Suggestion: Repeat treatment mornings and at nighttime before going to sleep, and after each meal, 3-4 times a day until gums and teeth become healthier and stronger.
i like the strawberry ones, they also call it african toothbrush, its anise root similar to licorice, you just rub it on your teeth to clean em and chew on it, it just wears down slowly, good to keep your hands and mouth busy while attempting to stop smoking. also good for cottonmouth if you smoke something else...
When I worked in Montego Bay, they sold them on the way into town, it was used for mouth cleansing and to remove food particals, the Rastafarian vendors sold them with a root tonic they claimed to help with your bumble.
I lied it because it was a Jamaican version of Red Bull, but made from natural ingredients, did nothing for my bumble, I am single
