C?SITARAM Ayurveda’s Arimedadi taila is a classical preparation of Sesame oil infused with medicinal herbs including Arimedah (White Acacia) and Triphala which have clinically proven efficacy in preventing plaque and dental caries. It is found mentioned in the context of ‘Mukha yoga chikitsa’ or management of ailments of the oral cavity. ?Oil pulling, though seemingly simple, is a significantly less explored option for maintaining pristine oral health and hygiene. Ayurveda advocates ‘Gandusha’ (Gargling/ Oil pulling) as a part of daily routine along with ‘Dantadhawana’ or Cleansing of Teeth. ?Adopting the simple practice of oil pulling with Arimedadi taila regularly is sure to set you on the path to those perfect set of pearly teeth. Alternatively, the oil is also instilled through the nasal cavity for cleansing and strengthening the ‘Uthamanga’ or head. ?Suitable for all ages Features and benefits ?Supports overall oral health and hygiene ?Taila or oil by virtue of its ‘sookshma’ swabhava is capable of reaching into deeper and difficult to access structures and tissues. Swishing medicated taila in the mouth daily dislodges and flushes out internal and external toxins from the oral cavity. The teeth regain their enamel and strength and gums regain their firm hold on teeth. ?The astringent and cleansing nature of the herbal ingredients cleanse the tongue, remove debris and microbes, and keep the taste buds fresh and functional. ?Acidic nature of one’s digestive juices may cause harm to the teeth in the long run. Regular gargling with Arimedadi taila restores a favourable acid-base balance in the oral cavity. ?Moisturises the mouth and throat ?A well-moisturised mouth and throat cavity in itself acts as a barrier to the entry of diseases causing microbes. The oral cavity further adjoins the oesophagus, nasal passages, sinuses, and the intricate ear cavities. Regular gargling with the taila creates a healthy defence, especially in the event of widespread airborne disease and infection. ?Freshens breath ?The oil cleanses the mouth of excess microbial growth and discourages further infestation. This effectively prevented dental plaque and carried, while ensuring fresh breath and mouth odour. ?Studies have proved the efficacy of Arimedadi taila to be on par with that of Chlorohexidine mouthwash without the teeth staining and other side effects of the chemical mouthwash.
