Quick recipes from Aroma-Zone

Tooth powder

Siwak powder
1 tablespoon
Calcium carbonate
1 tablespoon
Baking soda
1 teaspoonful
Peppermint essential oil
5 drops

Step 1

Sprinkle a small amount of powder onto your wet toothbrush and brush your teeth using gentle strokes.

Step 2

This powder does not foam, but cleans teeth thanks to the gentle abrasive effect of Miswak and calcium carbonate.

Step 3

Rinse off.

Whitening powder

Siwak powder
1 tbsp.
Natural activated charcoal
1 tablespoon
Baking soda
1 tablespoon
Tea tree essential oil
10 drops

Step 1

Apply to the surface of the teeth using a cotton bud, rubbing gently.

Step 2

Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly and, if necessary, clean your teeth with toothpaste and a toothbrush to remove the powder. As the charcoal is black, it leaves its colour on the teeth, but this will disappear when you clean.

Miswak stick has been used since ancient times for dental and oral health and was even recommended by Muhammad in the Hadith. It is widely used in India, the Arabian Peninsula, North Africa and many other parts of Africa, where it occurs naturally. The Miswak stick is usually a small branch or piece of root from the Salvadora persica tree. A traditional

dental health method involves chewing the stick until it softens, then rubbing the teeth with the wet fibres. The use of these fibrous sticks has been shown to be very effective in eliminating dental plaque, and this has been confirmed by numerous studies.

Research has also shown that Miswak contains antibacterial compounds, which are useful for cleaning the mouth and preventing cavities and gum problems, as well as mineral salts, which are useful for strengthening enamel. The benefits of Miswak for dental and oral health are such that it has been recommended by the WHO (World Health Organisation ) as a replacement for toothbrushes and toothpaste in regions where they are not available.

For added practicality, we have chosen to offer Miswak in the form of a fine powder, which can be easily incorporated into your 'homemade' toothpaste recipes.

Amazing! With the whitening powder recipe, goodbye to brown spots caused by heavy tea consumption. In my circle, yellow spots among smokers have disappeared. I use the whitening powder and then I do a classic brushing with my toothpaste.

Siwak restock We have been waiting for this product to be restocked for several months. At the moment, many of your products are out of stock for long periods. During this time, many new products are coming out. That's good, but if this is done to the detriment of "basic products", it's really a shame. We want to place an order but we tell ourselves that as long as a product is not available, it's useless.

VERY GOOD POWDER I have been using this powder for almost 2 years and I am delighted with it.

Ayurvedic Siwak Powder BIO Gives a feeling of smooth and very clean teeth. The impression of sand in the mouth disappears after rinsing. Enhanced with a drop of sweet mint essential oil, it is a perfect treatment that I recommend. I take this opportunity to express my astonishment at the readability of the reviews: Have you already purchased a product? You can read ALL the reviews. You don't know a product? You can only read the five or six that the site offers you. The opposite would be more logical and beneficial to people who want to buy new products thanks to the opinions of others, right? For my part, without access to ALL the opinions, I no longer want to buy what I don't know. Cdt
