It is true that tap water always has a little taste. Also, in my kettle, there is often limescale deposited over time. Ceramic beads are known to purify water. So this set of 25 beads found its way into my kettle right away. It seems to work. However, when I boil the water, the beads make an additional noise to the one the kettle normally makes! No problem, you get used to it quickly!

Hello,This set of 3 copper tongue scrapers is very useful because it allows to get rid of a lot of bacteria on the tongue.you just have to scrape the tongue starting from the bottom and going back to the entrance of the mouth, you spit the whole thing, you start again on the sides. No need to press like a bear.you feel a real change on the tongue, it's surprising and pleasant at the same time.the advantage is that it's simple and quick to do. The advantage is that it is simple and fast to make, you just have to clean it with dishwashing liquid for example.in short, excellent product that I discover, very simple and pleasant to use for a healthier mouth and a more durable breath 😀

3 copper tongue scrapers (copper being antibacterial, that's what we need) Easy enough to use, you just have to scrape your tongue with it.it's really efficient, and yet I was septic, but after one week of application twice a day, the tongue is less loaded and the breath is more suitable.in short, I recommend it.

I wanted to find an alternative to the cotton swab, to avoid the plastic and to repurchase it all the time.this product totally conquered me, I personally find that it is more effective for the wax and reusable.at the beginning it is really strange and we have the impression that we did not remove anything but by looking at it more closely the small spoon contains indeed small dirt.I strongly advise you think about the ecology.

Ceramic pearls that really have the shape and size of pearls.With 25 pearls, you could think that you can put them everywhere... but for a carafe, you still have to put 15 pearls.Then, you have to wait 30 minutes to drink the water.A small inconvenience, but these pearls have an unlimited life span. This is much more interesting than filtering carafes. I tested a gourd of a well-known brand and you have to count an investment of 60€ per year just for the filtering disc! These pearls will be quickly amortized...

These Siwak sticks are a 100% natural product: as we chew licorice sticks which are the root of the licorice, here it is the root of the Salvadora persica shrub very widespread in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Its natural components gently clean and disinfect teeth, gums and tongue. I haven't been using it long enough to get my teeth white again, but I find these sticks very good to chew, I love their taste, and as it's natural it's finally something to nibble on that's not too sweet, and on top of that it cleans teeth, great! The WHO (World Health Organization) recognizes the benefits of Siwak sticks since 1986! Congratulations to the Orinko brand, a young French company, for rediscovering healthy products that had been forgotten (they also offer ceramic beads, excellent as an anti-limescale in water).

At first, I thought these ceramic beads were very pretty, but I had trouble knowing if they were really effective, and how much to put in the water. Then I discovered the details given by the other comments (and I thank the first three in particular who gave very interesting detailed details). Then I went on the Orinko website, and I invite you to do so because everything is well explained.At the beginning, I put 3 pearls in the carafe, 3 in the kettle, 3 in the water of the coffee maker! and I realized that it was far from being enough.Too bad that this innovative product is not directly accompanied by a small booklet explaining clearly how to use them.Key points 😕 Put about ten pearls for one liter of water? Wait half an hour before drinking the water? To keep the pearls active, always keep them in a bottom of water? To clean the pearls, let them soak overnight in vinegar, then dry them for a day, preferably in the sun? It is an ideal complement to activated carbon, because the latter is more effective against micropollutants, heavy metals and residues of the agricultural industry, but the ceramic pearls, they, filter effectively the limestone... They can also be used to water plants, and to avoid limescale in toilets and coffee machines, to wash clothes! Their life span is long: about 10 years if they are well maintained? In addition, they are compostable, unlike the filters of carafes which are very difficult to recycle (because they are made of plastic). In short, it is a great product, go and see the Orinko website to know how to use it well.

I bought these oriculi to replace the cotton swabs, they came in a small resealable bag. First of all, they are much more ecological since they can be reused after washing, they are made of bamboo and remain hygienic, there is no worry about that. Secondly, I find them much more efficient because cotton swabs push earwax to the bottom of the ear, which accumulates and eventually creates a plug. Here it is not the case because the small spoon-shaped tip removes everything. You just have to do it gently and be careful not to push it in too far. These are the second ones I've tested and I prefer them to the others because the tip is thinner and more precise. I recommend it, and the salesman sends advice on how to use it by email, which is great.

I found it strange at the beginning but finally, you get used to it. The only drawback is the end of the small stick, to clean it, it's a little hard and it's a little bit hard too, but overall, it's great.

I have a filtering carafe bought in an organic store (reusable charcoal filter) and I'm very happy with it.I wanted to test this product because a friend of mine has the wooden one and she is very happy with it. So why not test it in our water bottles? My assessment after a few weeks of use: I put a single stick for a glass bottle of one liter. The taste of chlorine disappears for the most part, or even totally if you leave it overnight.it's very easy to use: you just have to boil the stick for 10 minutes and you can use it.the quality/price ratio is, in my opinion, very good. The filtering carafes are faster, but also more expensive.I indicated mixed because we can not know if the capture of heavy metals and others, is really done. What I can see is that my carafe filters limescale (my kettle is always clean) but this carbon does not, but it is not sold for that...

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.

Well it must be said that it tastes very strong turnip.it is necessary to cut the stick to eliminate the bark and crush the fibers with the teeth or better with a pliers.we tested in family these natural toothbrushes.and the report is the following.teeth whiter, immediately, smoother.fibers of detached and remain in the mouth.the taste of turnip not top Practical in certain circumstances.

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.
