Bleeding Gums? 

Don't worry, many people suffer from the same problem. It is not at all unusual. However, it is not normal. What I mean by that is that even though many people do suffer from bleeding gums, that does not mean that they should. Actually, healthy gums don't bleed at all under normal  brushing or flossing situations.  You would actually have to apply a lot more pressure than normal to get healthy gum tissue to bleed. Therefore, if you are seeing any signs of blood when you brush and floss at all - be aware that this is an indicator of gum disease. Ultimate a physician that you see in person has to make the call, but there is a very strong possibility that you have it. After all, dentists say that up to 80% of people have some form of gum disease.  What are the odds?  Pretty strong, aren't they?

Why can essential oils help you?

Essential oils have strong anti-bacterial qualities.  This is well known and accepted.  In fact, there is a very popular mouthwash that everyone has heard of.  It has a lot of alcohol in it.  But frankly, the power to eliminate the germs that cause gingivitis (gum disease) comes from the essential oils in it.  If you look at the lable, you will see that it has menthol, thymol and eucolyptol in it.  These are essential oil derivatives. It is possible that the best oils for fighting gum disease are pepperment, spearmint and almond. You can buy these seperately and try to combine them in just the right strength and combination or you can take a product that already has it done in a way that others have experimented with and deemed best. In fact, they have two versions, regular and extra-strength.  Some people prefer the natural approach over prescriptions and surgery.

Which do you prefer?

If your answer is the more natural approach, try this oil combination. It comes in a spill proof cap so that you can carry it safely in a pocket or a purse.  This is very convenient.  You only use a few drops at a time, so a single bottle can last up to three months! Some even use it to replace their toothpaste (not recommended) and bad breath fighting gums, sprays and mouthwashes. Pretty cool, right?
