receding gums

[billietraynor]

I'm in my early fifties and am suffering badly with receding gums - it appears to be a condition caused by inappropriate removal of teeth when I was young, but whatever the reason, I'm suffering! I've been recommended Sesame Oil as a mouth rinse (20 minutes - it's a little difficult, but if it works, it's worth it!) to detox the mouth, followed by a rinse with salt water. I tried it last night, and sure enough, the oil when spat out was white, a sign that it's picked up the toxins in the mouth, apparently.... I'm going to give it a go over the next few weeks. My sister paid for very expensive gum replacement (involving a graft from the roof of the mouth) and it hasn't really worked, so I reckon the natural alternative is the way to go.....watch this space!

Thanks for that Billie - I'm sorry to hear you've had such trouble, but on the other hand we would love if you could stay in touch and keep us posted with your progress.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Billie,

I was just wondering how your sesame oil rinse (oil pulling) is going for receding gums? I have read it's very helpful and is also good for securing loosening teeth. I don't have receding gums but I have found sesame oil pulling fantastic for toothache. Coenzyme Q10 is also helpful for receding gums. It's available from The Hopsack. For brands, try Solgar, Viridian or Higher Nature's True Food CoQ10.

Hope that helps.
