==================================
1. Whiten Teeth Naturally at Home
==================================

Did you ever watch your white kitchen cups
turn a brownish color even after washing them?

Coffees, teas, highly pigmented foods do
this to your cups, and also your teeth.

Common stains from food attach to plaque and
tartar buildup on the teeth.

Foods that stain your teeth are:

--Soy sauce
--Berries
--Curry
--Coffee
--Red wine
--Dark soda
--Dark fruit juice
--Tea

Temperature changes cause teeth to expand and
contract, allowing stains to penetrate teeth.

If you want to stay away from commercial teeth
whitening products that use primarily Carbamide
peroxide (known to be safe but some say lead to
free radical damage), listed here are some easy
natural things you can do at home:

--Keep your mouth clean; it cuts down on stain build up. If you
can't brush after every meal, make sure you rinse food out of
your mouth after you eat.

--Strawberries whiten teeth! Rub one on your teeth every day -or
mash and apply with your toothbrush (rinse mouth afterwards)

--Brush your teeth with a paste of baking powder and water

--Rub the inside of an orange peel on the teeth

--Brush your teeth with a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide
(rinse afterwards, don't swallow)

--Mix these ingredients and brush on teeth: 1 tsp baking soda, dash
of salt, then add a few drops of white vinegar, which will foam

--Burn a piece of toast, then scrape off the black layer of the toast
(it is charcoal) and mix that with your toothpaste. Brush your teeth
with this at night before you go to bed

--Brush with mustard oil and salt

--Make a paste of ground, dried bay leaves and dried orange peels
(you may need to add some water). Use this as a whitener in between
brushing teeth

--Equal parts of lemon juice and salt - brush on as whitener

--Brush your teeth with apple cider vinegar

--Use an electric toothbrush. Studies show an electric toothbrush can
remove 98.2 percent of plaque

--Great plaque dissolvers are anti-bacterial mouthwashes. Many have
alcohols that aren't all that healthy. The best natural mouthwash
is Thieves® Fresh Essence Plus Mouthwash from Young Living.
It has essential oils such as peppermint, lemon, cinnamon, rosemary, eucalyptus,
melissa leaf water, vitamin E.


=========================================
2. Essential Oil Tip: Clove Oil
=========================================

Clove oil applied to the affected area
will help a sore tooth.

You can add a pinch of powdered pepper
for better results.

3. Fun Quote: ~Henry Lytton Bulwer
===================================

There are two things in life that a sage must
preserve at every sacrifice, the coats of his
stomach and the enamel of his teeth. Some evils
admit of consolations, but there are no comforters
for dyspepsia and the toothache.

~Henry Lytton Bulwer


============================================================
4. Recipe of the Week: Quinoa Salad with Dried Fruit and Nuts
============================================================

High fiber produce, and especially fruits and nuts,
keeps saliva flowing, which helps create mineral defenses
against tooth decay.


Quinoa Salad with Dried Fruit and Nuts

1 1/2 cups quinoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups water
1 bunch green onions, chopped
3/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup raisins
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 cup chopped pecans



DIRECTIONS
Bring the quinoa, salt, and water to a boil in a saucepan.

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa
is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Once done, scrape into a
large bowl, and allow to cool for 20 minutes.

Stir in the green onions, celery, raisins, cayenne pepper,
vegetable oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and sesame oil.

Allow to stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the
flavors to blend.

Stir in the cilantro and pecans before serving.

5. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================

A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation
to go to the dentist.

"I want a tooth pulled, and I don't want Novocaine
because I'm in a big hurry," the woman said.

"Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible,
and we'll be on our way."

The dentist was quite impressed. "You're certainly
a courageous woman," he said.

"Which tooth is it?"

The woman turned to her husband and said,
"Show him your tooth, dear."
