Why Use Essential Oils In A Mouth Rinse?

Essential Oils are the volatile,aromatic liquid extracts obtained from herbs in there living state (plants, shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bark and seeds) These oils contain oxygenating properties which help to effectively transport nutrients to the cell of the body and to increase available cell oxygen. Therefore, by increasing cellular oxygen, essential oils may help to create and environment in which pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites cannot live. Research has shown that when the oxygen level in a sick cell is increased, the cell begins to change back to normal. Research has also shown that essential oils can penetrate quickly through cell membranes and increase the oxygen level by 21%. This is particularly important today when we are besieged with many types of infections. It is well known that many types of infectious organisms can live only in a low oxygen environment. The bacteria that is involved in gingivitis, periodontal disease and tooth decay love to reside in these low oxygen enviroments, therefore using essential oil products in the mouth, such as our Estrella natural toothpaste, will help to fight and restore the your mouth back to a healthy environment.
