I did not know at all and yet it's been 2 weeks since I dropped my ULTRASONIC toothbrush! It's super pleasant to use, you have a feedback between the hand and the tooth quite incredible. you feel well what you do, you feel the friction on the tooth, in short, the feeling of doing things well!Moreover, it is super effective, the plaque is well removed (I use with toothpaste), no dental problem since 2 weeks. Honestly, it takes a little more time than a classic toothbrush (4-5 minutes), because it is necessary to insist on the interstices, but the results are there! And without plastic!

I ordered these ceramic beads because I am unable to drink tap water at home. Its taste is so unpleasant that I don't want to try it. So I test solutions, among them these ceramic beads. I put a handful in my carafe and filled it with water. I waited a dozen hours before tasting it and it was perfect: no unpleasant taste. For me it is as effective as bamboo charcoal and more discreet at the bottom of the carafe. A solution that fully suits me.

I was surprised by this natural toothbrush system. It comes in the form of 6 sticks individually wrapped in plastic. When you open the plastic, you get a "wet" stick. It is easy to remove the bark just by chewing on the end. At that point, there is a very strong, somewhat disturbing smell that comes out. The wood fibers actually act like toothbrush bristles, a little thicker though. It's fun to brush your teeth and gums with it, even if I find it not very practical. After brushing, the teeth are very smooth, so it works! Perfect for an extra wash, I won't use it for a daily wash.

Here is a set of 25 ceramic beads from the brand "Orinko "These ceramic beads seem to be an efficient and economical alternative to the carbon filters I usually use to filter tap water.we dip the ceramic beads in a carafe of tap water and they absorb chlorine, limestone and chemical residues contained in the tap water.Nevertheless, ceramic beads are complementary to carbon filters because they are effective with limestone, which is not really the case with carbon filters, which are more effective on pollutants from the agricultural industry (heavy metals, pesticides, etc.). A little more, if the water is very hard. When the beads are saturated, they can be cleaned by brushing them with clear water or by soaking them in white vinegar overnight and then drying them in the sun. The beads should always be covered with water, and although they are guaranteed for life, these drinking water filter beads should be replaced after six months at the latest.It should be noted that this is a French brand and that the pearls, made in Japan, are enriched with effective micro-organisms (EM) that provide enzymes, vitamins and antioxidants.it is still a small step for man but above all a big step for our planet! I recommend without any reservation, especially since the selling price seems reasonable.

In a logic of waste reduction, we bought these oriculi. We were a little apprehensive at first about the idea of pushing the oriculi too far in, given its rigidity. Finally, after a little time of adaptation, we are conquered and we completely stopped using disposable cotton swabs.

Sometimes it's hard to brush your teeth - especially when you're traveling. The Siwak stick is an excellent alternative to the toothbrush! Everyone can use the stick as they wish, by insisting on the gums or between the teeth. Between two uses, it is advised to keep it in a clean and dry place (e.g. a tissue, a toothbrush case).the result is surprising: with the passage of the tongue on the teeth, they are smooth. The stick does not change the breath but it leaves a slight taste of freshness on the teeth.one star less for the plastic packaging, which is a pity considering the eco-responsible commitment of the product.

The siwak plant is a discovery for me, I did not know at all... The batch includes 6 sticks... To use it, you have to remove one end of the stick, to remove the bark and reveal the fibers...It is probably effective and in any case it is a good ecological gesture, however the smell and the taste do not suit me, and it is thus difficult for me to clean my teeth with it... The more, it is not very easy to wash the teeth of the bottom, or the internal face of certain teeth... I like this healthy and ecological side, but unfortunately I will not renew the experiment very often.

These 10 charcoal "logs" are to be left in a closed container filled with water in order to purify it. It is not easy to estimate its effectiveness, but the properties of charcoal are known. Note that it is necessary, beforehand, to leave the logs in the open air and especially in the sun for several hours.

I am very sensitive to the taste of water and the one in my town really tastes of foul chlorine! I was not sure if these pearls would work and well if !!!!On receives them in a small bag but there are no instructions, it is written to contact the seller to receive an e-book in download however I did not succeed in downloading it but the site on which I fell allowed me to have all the explanations to use these pearls.For one liter of water it is recommended to use at least 10 pearls to have a real efficiency, it is necessary to wait 30 minutes before consuming the water.it is very impressive more taste of chlorine I did not expect that.nevertheless I cannot still consume the water of my tap because this last one contains too high traces of pesticides but I could see that there were also filters carbon which could palliate this problem.if useful thank you for clicking...

I have known siwak for more than 30 years, since I know Africa and India because it is the way to brush the teeth there. It is a very effective product because the Africans and Indians who use it have teeth bursting with whiteness. An American study conducted in 2003 concluded that the use of siwak is more effective than the use of a toothbrush. This solution of hygiene is ecological because the material is recyclable and especially, it is much healthier for the health than the chemical formulas harmful to the health that the industrial cosmetics offer us.

These pearls are made of clay and micro-organisms that modify the structure of the limestone crystals and prevent them from redepositing.they are made in Japan and guaranteed for life.At home, the water is very hard, so I put some in my electric kettle but also in the carafes, and well indeed I find that the tap water tastes better since I put the pearls (I do not find this little taste of bleach)

I'm always a little skeptical about this type of product, but it seems to me that it does work. I live in Paris, where the water quality is good, although quite hard. I put a dozen of these pearls in a bottle of tap water, and its taste seems to be purer, without me being able to determine if there is a placebo effect, or if it simply "works"!

Obviously, these ceramic beads reduce the formation of limestone.having a very strongly limestone water (the worst region of France...), it is not bad to be able to fight against this problem.but the tap water does not unfortunately contain only limestone... It is also invaded by antibiotics, hormones among other things which one rejects in the sewers and which are not cleaned in spite of the passage in purification plant...Morality, it doesn't change much to the water we drink, limestone is not bad for our health! On the other hand, it's not bad when used in the toilet flush, it seems to slow down the formation of limestone flows where small leaks were constantly drawing ugly streaks on the sides of the toilet bowl, streaks that I had to scrape regularly with a screwdriver to make them disappear... So, I appreciate the service!

The smell reminds me of a vegetable, the texture is very curious, to get the fibers, I cut the bark a little and I chewed the end of the root to separate the fibers.You get this mini brush, but it really has nothing to do with a toothpaste, it's fun to rub your teeth with, but that's all. It's neither bad nor good.I enjoyed this new experience, but for every day, I won't do it again, I like too much the fresh feeling of my usual toothpaste.I reserve this siwak for a camping trip, a total return to nature.Fans will like it, for sure.

For a long time now, I have eliminated disposable plastic bottles from my daily life. In my region, the water is very hard, I used to use a carafe filter, but the design of the filters posed a problem: they are bulky, expensive, and above all... plastic + disposable! These ceramic beads allow a 100% ecological alternative to this practice. I received them in a small bag, without any explanation... How many to put in ? How to use them? I understand that customers receive explanations by email, which I did not get. So I did my personal research on the net, here is what I found: the pearls intervene directly on the structure of the water to make it purer. They are composed of a clay enriched with micro-organisms. The 80 strains they contain eliminate chlorine, limestone and most of the harmful residues contained in tap water. Then, they can be left permanently in a bottom of water by supplementing as one goes along. It is enough to wait 10 minutes before drinking the water.15 pearls should be placed in a carafe, in bulk or in a cotton bag.the ideal is to have two carafes, one being activated with the pearls while you consume the other.contrary to the charcoal filters of the carafes which store the residues, these pearls do not require any maintenance and their life expectancy is unlimited. These pearls thus make it possible to improve the taste and the quality of the tap water but in no case to make healthy a non-drinking water (of river for example).Compared to the solution of the carbon bamboos, I like the unlimited character in the time, thus more economic.The uses of the ceramic pearls are numerous:- to filter naturally your drinking water and your aquarium.- to descale the small household appliances: kettle, coffeepot, water-heater... To maintain daily and avoid the deposit of scale in your kettle, coffee pot or water heater, keep continuously 12 ceramic beads.preserve more durably the food as well as the bouquets of flowers.clean the toilets- reduce the cleaning products used in the washing machine and the dishwasher.Well, after all that, I am convinced, hyper convinced even.

I admit I was really skeptical. Especially since the pearls come in a mini plastic paper bag. Receiving an ebook by giving your email is not really my thing, we already receive too many ads. So I looked into the internet search. On their website, I didn't find the pearls for sale, but they talk about them on their blog.Before starting, I cleaned them as indicated on their page: one night in vinegar, and one day in the sun.It's crazy, it works. Once your beads are in your water, you have to wait 30 minutes and the water really tastes better. It's been a week that I leave water in a glass with a pearl and no limestone. It's great this thing and especially much more economical than these brand filters that are not so effective.CAUTION, they also indicate that the pearls, if they are well maintained, must be changed every 10 years, so "lifetime use" is a bit exaggerated.Note that you need 10 pearls for 1 liter of water.CAUTION, the price varies from day to day (at the time of writing the review, they were at 26 € and today at 19 €).In short, totally convinced and I recommend it to 100

I have been using Meswak toothpaste for years, which I discovered during a trip to India and which contains Siwak, but I had never used it directly as a chewing stick.6 sticks arrive in a small box, each one wrapped in individual plastic.I sent an email to the address noted on the packaging and I received a few hours later the instructions for use in PDF format with advice and information on the plant. Contrary to what I thought, it is not a piece of branch but the root of the Salvadora Persica shrub.when I opened it, the smell is quite surprising, even unpleasant and the stick is wet. I preferred to let it rest one day in the open air before using it.the aspect makes me think of the candy sticks that I give to my dog to clean his teeth... The use is rather simple. You can chew or cut the end of the stick on 1 cm. The small fibers of the tip are similar to a toothbrush. One passes them then under water, not need of toothpaste... You just have to use it like a toothbrush from top to bottom. The taste is slightly bitter and the stick tends to leave some small hairy residues in the mouth but I recognize that my teeth are smoother and less yellowed by my consumption of tea and coffee. But it will not replace my electric toothbrush (or manual) because it does not allow to clean between the teeth. I use it mainly in the evening (2 to 3 times/week) after my brushing for a better dental hygiene and also on the tongue. It is recommended to do it during 5 mn. Since I use it, I noticed that my teeth were whiter. I really like this ecological concept which allows me to use it at the office in all discretion for a better breath and dental hygiene.

I do not know this plant Siwak, and I discover here! 6 sticks are individually vacuum packed, and it is indeed a plant. You chew to get the fiber out, and you brush with it. It is difficult to reach the bottom of the teeth inside, but where we arrive it cleans well and there is a taste a little minty very subtle and pleasant feeling in the mouth. It is a good initiative to think about the planet and the natural health!

Eliminating little by little everything disposable, I turned to the oriculi to finish with the cotton buds. This product is easy to use, economical and ecological. The products arrived in good condition, despite the fact that they were sent in a slightly reinforced zipped pocket. A small flat bamboo case would have been nice, especially if you need to carry them, but the zippered pocket will also do the job. I chose this brand because it participates in the fight against deforestation in the Amazon, so it's an extra gesture in favor of the environment. I recommend this product.

The siwak or "araq wood" is the root of the shrub salvadora persica used as a natural toothbrush, the siwak has purifying properties recognized, it cleans the mouth and helps to take care of the gums.It's quite particular I must say, it reminded me a bit of potato when rubbing against the teeth and gums and even the tongue.Anyway, it's not unpleasant and it smooths the teeth well, it's a good alternative between 2 brushings or as a complement.I like the concept very much, and I saw that with siwak powder, we can make our own toothpaste.It cleans teeth on pivots or braces just as well.

These siwak sticks to be used for teeth cleaning are quite a discovery. In a cardboard box, we have 6 sticks of about 15 cm vacuum packed. The objective is to use a natural material to remove the use of plastic toothbrushes, toothpaste and the waste that can go with it. It is a dental wood obtained from the root of the Salvadora persica shrub. Before brushing, it is necessary to remove the bark on 1cm then to fray the root. Brushing is done without toothpaste by passing the threads on the teeth and chewing the stick. It is just necessary to be soft with the approach of the gums but the wood is flexible and soft. After a few minutes, while doing something else at a desk for example, the surface of the teeth becomes smooth, the breath clear with a very light taste between mint and licorice. The hardest part is to pass in the interstices of the teeth.despite that, in the end, you really have the impression to have washed your teeth!
