Living Libations Frankincense Fresh Floss 30m
£7.00
Silk threads weave and wander around your pearly whites to luxuriously clean the spaces in between. An opulent Frankincense finish on each thread furnishes soothing, refreshing, and cleansing essences to gums, teeth, and tongue.
Frankincense Fresh Floss is gorgeously wound in a cylindrical glass and stainless-steel dispenser. The silk floss is fully biodegradable, and its pot and lid are recyclable, yet more importantly the glass floss bottle is a timeless treasure than can be refilled endlessly.
Frankincense Fresh Floss is a gentle, shred-free, all-purpose floss for people with tight spaces, wide spaces, and even people with braces. Its silky softness is easy on gums, tongues, and fingers.
The floss is 100% mulberry silk thread, the finest of all silks available. Silkworms fed on mulberry leaves produce long, refined, pure white fibers that are spun into durable, glossy threads. Each thread is coated in organic Candelilla wax so the floss glides into even the tightest of inter-dental spaces. The wax is infused with our organic Frankincense essential oil with a dash of Peppermint for perfect freshness.
Frankincense essential oil has been used throughout the Middle Eastern to support clean teeth and fresh breath for thousands of years. There is an oral history of people chewing on frankincense tree resin or “pearls” for dental care. This botanical-biotic rich in monoterpenes assists with removing plaque and eliminates bad breath causing bacteria.
Frankincense Fresh Floss is the perfect pairing with Mint + Myrrh Tooth Serum, Happy Gum Drops, Swishing Serum, and Frankincense Fresh Toothpaste.
To use: After brushing, apply one drop of your favorite oral care serum along the floss, wrap approximately 18 inches (45 cm) of floss around fingers, and draw tight. Slide floss between teeth, curve it around a tooth, and clean between tooth and gum with gentle up and down motions. Repeat between each tooth using a clean section of floss.
Natural Mulberry Silk, Candelilla Wax, Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) Essential Oil, and Peppermint (Mentha piperita) Essential Oil.
Candelilla Wax - Euphorbia antisyphilitica
This pure plant wax is harvested from the stems of the desert Candelilla shrub. The plant parts are boiled in water and the wax is skimmed off the top and bottled before coating the silk floss.
Frankincense Essential Oil - Boswellia carterii
A liquid pearl of holy anointing oil from the tree of life, our Frankincense comes from Somaliland where they grow the highest quality of gum trees. This precious essence has been used to support clean teeth and fresh breath for thousands of years in Middle Eastern areas. It is common for Arabian people to chew the resin. They know of its ability to eliminate bad breath causing bacteria and assist with removing plaque.
Peppermint Essential Oil - Mentha piperita
Peppermint’s cool breezy taste gives you long-lasting fresh breath. Our Peppermint is a genuine distillation of the fresh leaves and comes from a lovely fourth generation family of distillers in France. Real Peppermint is a potent and pleasant friend for oral care. Its calm and cool nature also inhibits the bacteria that cause bad breath.

Mao Zhu Bamboo Charcoal - Phyllostachys edulis
Mau Zhu is a rapidly growing, sustainable bamboo that matures to up to sixty feet in five years.

It is almost 25% more porous than standard wood charcoal.

Holistic Dental Care Book (Nadine Artemis founder of Living Libations)
£12.00
A comprehensive guide to natural, do-it-yourself oral care, Holistic Dental Care introduces simple, at-home dental procedures that anyone can do. Highlighted with fifty-three full-color photos and illustrations, this book offers dental self-care strategies and practices that get to the core of the problems in our mouths--preventing issues from taking root and gently restoring dental health. Based on a "whole body approach" to oral care, Holistic Dental Care addresses the limits of the traditional approach that treats only the symptoms and not the source of body imbalances. Taking readers on a tour of the ecology of the mouth, dental health expert and author Nadine Artemis describes the physiology of the teeth and the sources of bacteria and decay. Revealing the truth about the artificial chemicals in many toothpastes and mouthwashes, Artemis also discusses the harmful effects of mercury fillings and the much safer ceramic filling options that are available. Covering topics that include healthy nutrition, oral care for children, and the benefits of botanical substances and plant extracts for maintaining oral health, Artemis introduces a comprehensive eight-step self-dentistry protocol that offers an effective way to prevent decay, illness, acidic saliva, plaque build-up, gum bleeding, inflammation, and more.

Review(s)
Best ever
Ok, this is the. Best floss ever!!! I absolutely love it! I have very close teeth with some that have larger spaces between the teeth near the gum line. I used to use the eaze through floss because all other ones would just shred because of the closeness of my teeth. But I felt I couldn't get a good floss with the slippery plastic floss and even it would shred at times. This floss.... NO Problems At All!!! I can get my teeth clean in between now and No shredding and trying to get floss out from between my teeth! And I use the healthy gum drops with it too. What a nice combination and I have had not trouble with bleeding gums since using these two products. Thank you so much for making this available.
Smart Floss... for smart, HEAL-thy, strong gums + teeth
This is the best floss of all time. It is part of the foundation to strong and HEAL-thy (oh yes...healthy and FULL OF healing...) gums + teeth. A teacher of mine once said to the class that a dentist told him, "Only floss the teeth you want to keep". Haha, definitely something to ponder upon... I think we ideally want to keep all our teeth if we can! I used to only floss with conventional floss my front top and front bottom teeth in the mornings as I felt as if I had no time and wanted to avoid the pain and bleeding associated with flossing the back molars. I would only do back molars on special occasions or in thorough bath spa sessions, really! However, after going to my dentist and becoming aware things needed to improve, getting Nadine's awesome ebook Successful Self-Dentistry and new Libations tooth product with floss to try for the first time.... OH did I ever change my ways. I coated my Smart Floss nicely with Nadine's Ozonated Healthy Gum Gel (this product coats amazingly on floss by the way) and gave it a whirl. The first week I'll admit was adjustment period for dealing with the new thickness of this floss and bit of uncomfortable feeling on my gums. However, it is quite stretchy which is awesome. The key is to go slowly, tenderly and gently especially if not used to it at first. WELL...after that week of my mouth adjusting to the floss, it knew it meant business. Week after week it only improved. Bleeding, red, and swollen gums totally and utterly TRANSFORMED into healthy pink, strong, and pain-free gums! Morning and night, floss would glide in-between spaces smoothly and CLEAN spaces like nothing else!!!! And the stronger your gums become with this floss, the faster the flossing process!!! This strengthened my gums, and was the reason of it eventually stopping my gums from bleeding and being sore after flossing! When you do see red gums, like I did especially on my bottom teeth... I just made the connection that teeth are simply trying to send a colour-coded message. Red is angry gums that I was not taking care of! But once I did, they turned a totally healthy rosy pink... and what colour is soft beautiful pink associated with? That's right, tender love! Teeth will show you love back :) Using it after a month, it reduced the gum bleeding to absolutely nothing. 3 months later, my dental hygenist yesterday was flabbergasted and overjoyed at the transformation of my gums and oral health - all thanks to using this floss as a phenomenal tool along with my teeth brushing. I would only recommend this floss. Flossing time is happy time ever since I began, and will keep going with this and only this. Smart Floss is the king and Nadine's dental product gems are queen, unifying to make the mouth a royal kingdom of strength, cleanliness, shine, gleaming beauty and health :)
