Did You Know?
The daily sprinkling of a little Cayenne powder on the toothpaste on your toothbrush can work miracles in fighting/preventing gums disease. That's right. It will also help deal with other oral ailments that plague many folks these days. After reading about this, we just had to try it. There is a warm sensation in your mouth as you brush your teeth, but it soon disappears after rinsing. As usual, whenever using Cayenne powder, one should start with very small amounts to allow the body some time to build up a tolerance. The first few times we used it, we sprinkled so little of the powder on the toothpaste that we didn't feel anything. As the days progressed, we increased the amounts slightly until we felt it was warm enough. After using it for a little while, the nice feeling in your mouth is very satisfying. Be warned, however, you do not want to over do this one, so start small.
