Did you know that long-term exposure to fluoride through toothpastes, mouthwashes, and fluorinated water will leave your brain calcified, like a bone? I don’t know about you, but I definitely do not want my brain to be a bone. I want my brain to be the super absorbent sponge that it is so that I can absorb as much knowledge as possible in my life. I know that you have seen a lot of toothpastes out there that claim to be “natural” when they are full of harsh chemicals, artificial sweeteners, and fluoride. Here at Lüfka, we believe in simplicity. We believe that you should be able to read and understand the ingredients on a label, especially for products that you are putting inside or outside of your body.
Diatomaceous earth
You might be asking yourself, “What is Diatomaceous Earth?” Diatoms are intricately designed, microscopic algae, and their outer shells are made of silica. Diatoms are responsible for producing nearly 40% of the Earth’s oxygen, talk about a microscopic miracle. Diatoms exist in all of the water systems of the world. When they became fossilized millions of years ago, they turned into dust that is made almost entirely of silica. Silica is a mineral that is highly beneficial for your hair, skin, nails, teeth, bones, and joints. We use this microscopic, algae, shell dust as the base of our toothpaste. The silica in the diatomaceous earth will coat your teeth like a second enamel.
Another cool fact about Diatomaceous Earth and Diatoms are that they are negatively charged, comprised of negative ions. The bad bacteria in our mouths are positively charged. Now here’s a little chemistry, the positive ions are attracted to the negative ions and drawn them out of those impossible to reach places in your gum line, leaving your gums healthy and bad bacteria-free. Wow! I never knew Diatoms were so amazing
