Thank you! I recently started rubbing Castor oil onto my gums, as well as lips & cheeks each time brush my teeth. I was having the beginnings of receding, darkening gums in a few areas & thought Castor oil’s properties may help. And it did! I’ve had noticeable improvements within a few weeks 😊
This is why the Sonic Care (TM) tooth brush works so well - it stimulates the fluid within the periodontium, and that fluid movement cleans out a lot of bacteria. (btw - periodontal pocket is a pathology related to perio disease, not a healthy thing!) I'm a retired dentist, and have been using sonic care toothbrushes for over 20 years! Dentists and hygienist still comment on how they can tell that I use one!
…and don’t forget to pickup some Bacillus Salivarius capsules -break one open after evening dental hygiene and swish around with your tongue (tastes like raw oatmeal) it’s the probiotic that defeats the destructive pathogens
Betting that you don't even need the oil or vitamin E. The ritual of doing it regularly (the nervous system loves predictable routines) and the manual stimulation would be quite enough to be beneficial (cf. osteopathy's fundamental principle "The Rule of the Artery").
Awesome! Only thing is bacteria show up to the pocket to breakdown the tissue that has had limited blood flow and oxygen. The massage helps, like you said move blood and lymph that has either stagnated or altogether stopped. Great article.
Absolutely! The water flosser is the HOLY GRAIL of periodontal health along with flossing and brushing of course. Technique is important. Before bed use is optimum .

Thank you so much for this!
Cool name ;)
Brand new information to me! Thank you!

You can also use castor oil as eye drops. Floaters/cataracts disappear.
You’re so right, nobody talks about this because I’ve never heard of it! Thank you so much!
That illustration is so funny why are the fingers smaller than the tooth

But don’t your gums already get massaged when you brush your teeth?

Thank you for sharing ! Finally, massage therapy is good for everything. 😍
Does the use of a water flosser accomplish the same thing (sans the oil, of course)?

This is my routine. Not anxious to add another step - thanks for confirming best practices.

No more morning breath
Substack permits great latitude in publication, whether it be fairly tales or falsehoods about healthcare.
There is no competent dentist anywhere that does not educate patients about gum care.
I’ve been going to the dentist my whole life and never had any of them talk about gum massage 🤷🏻♀️
Yo wrote top and bottom but what about front and back?
I wondered, too!
