A small piece of fresh ginger (peeled and finely grated)
½ teaspoon baking soda
A few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 spoonful of clean water
Instructions:
Grate the ginger and place it in a small bowl.
Add the baking soda and a few drops of lemon juice.
Mix well, adding a little water until you get a smooth paste.
Using a soft toothbrush or your finger, gently apply the mixture to your teeth.
Leave it on for 1–2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Extra Tips:
Use sparingly—no more than once a week—as it may be strong if overused.
For daily freshness, chew a tiny slice of raw ginger or drink warm ginger tea.
Add a sprig of mint to rinse water for an extra-cool, refreshing feeling.
Smile in the mirror as you finish—it makes the ritual more joyful.
Closing Thoughts:
Nature has always provided simple gifts to care for ourselves. Ginger, with its warmth and vitality, is one of those gifts that connects us to the wisdom of our elders. This small home practice can give a brighter smile, fresher breath, and a moment of mindful self-care in your day.
