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

Only Orthodoxy Will Lead to Orthopraxy and Orthopathy
Format: Kindle
This book authored by David Croteau is truly an enjoyable yet at the same time a convicting read. Even though it was written about 10 years ago, the principles of interpretation advocated by him to deal with the "mistaken and misleading legends" are timeless. Out of the 40 legends, I have encountered at least half of them in the local church, writings and even seminary especially issues pertaining to salvation, Christian living and women's adornment. The main takeaway is this: Just as there are three things that matter in property: "Location, Location, Location", similarly the three main things that matter in interpretation of the Word is: "Context, Greek, and Background Information", or even simpler: "Context, Context, Context". David Croteau has demonstrated in his 40 legends the utmost importance of context in correctly interpreting a particular passage which was unfortunately taken out of context. The interpretation can further be handled even more accurately by taking into account the Greek language and the socio-historical background behind the text. In fact, I have been focusing on these three elements in my hermeneutical approach whenever I come across passages which I need more understanding. I don't know Greek; but with the many useful online Greek tools nowadays, I can always do a word study which more or less balances my lacking of Greek knowledge. Also, the study of socio-historical background is extremely illuminating if one have access to these resources. Personally, I discover that a proper understanding of background information can eliminate most of the mistaken or misleading interpretation of a text. Lastly, I totally agree with David Croteau's conclusion: "In the end our goal should be to interpret Scripture as accurately as possible, to apply that interpretation to our own lives, and to be transformed by God’s Word so that our lives may bring glory to the One who rescued us from an eternal destiny in hell." His conclusion reminds me of a phrase which I encountered years ago: "Orthodoxy Will Lead to Orthopraxy and Orthopathy." Indeed, only by "accurately handling the word of truth" (2 Tim 2:15) can we realise the necessity of holy living and the proper response that we should have towards our living God.

The book is also great in pointing to additional resources for further study
Format: Paperback
Other than the Bible, I hesitate to use the term "must read" for a book. This one is definitely a "should read" for anyone who teaches, preaches, or wants to minister more faithfully. The book is engaging, and offers both a negative (doesn't mean this) and positive (means this) response to common urban legends of the NT. You'll be surprised by some beliefs you had that you didn't even realize were not correct, or should be adjusted. The book is also great in pointing to additional resources for further study. Pastors, seminarians, and lay people will all benefit from this book.

Rescuing the Bible from its Friends
The inerrant, infallible Word of God has endured countless intentional assaults of misrepresentation by its enemies. Unfortunately it has also had to endure the unintentional insults of misinterpretation by its friends. Dr. Croteau has given us an excellent handbook to gently correct. His specific examples are well considered and his general principles are well established. Highly recommended.

Thoughtful, Encouraging, Didactic and Accessible
The title is what drew me to the book, and then the shortness of the chapters convinced me to take up this book and read it. I've read various types of theology books, but this one addresses underlying viewpoints that the average Christian assumes. While addressing these legends, the author does a wonderful job helping the reader grow in his or her biblical interpretational skills. And the author does this in a way that is both gracious and easy to understand. Even if a reader may not agree with every conclusion, I heartily recommend this book, not only for the legends it addresses, but for the opportunity to learn how to interpret the Bible.
