Other Benefits of Using Turmeric On Your Teeth
Natural remedies always have numerous beneficial properties. There are many studies on how turmeric is beneficial for oral hygiene and dental health.

Gum Irritation and Gum Reddening
If you choose to use natural products like turmeric, you can protect your mouth from irritations which is not the case if you use chemical-based products. Turmeric can protect you from inflammations and irritation in the mouth due to its antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties.
Some people are not even aware that they are allergic to chemicals found in commercial toothpaste and other dental products. By using natural substances like turmeric they can prevent reddening and irritation.
Decalcify Your Pineal Gland
This gland is one of the most important parts of human’s nervous system. It is located in the central part of the brain and it is responsible for regulating various hormones. It is also known as the center for “spiritual awakening”.
Many chemicals and substances that we use every day are proven to damage the pineal gland.
As the turmeric contains neuroprotective and anti- inflammatory properties, it can really help in improving and preserving the pineal gland’s health but only if you use it regularly.
Protect Your Brain from Fluoride Damage
Beside the fact that turmeric helps in teeth whitening, it is also proven to act against the negative effects of fluoride.
Fluoride, unfortunately, is found EVERYWHERE.
- drinking water
- non-stick pans
- toothpaste
- antibiotics

Many studies have shown that fluoride is toxic and especially dangerous for the human brain and body.
Turmeric contains amazing substance –curcumin which has brain-saving properties!
More than 200 published studies have shown that curcumin acts as a neuroprotective agent.
To conclude, we are exposed to numerous toxins and chemicals every day and turmeric is a great solution in the fight against them.
