A guide to non-toxic personal care, oral health optimization, and ancestral wellness rituals
Conventional hygiene products often contain synthetic chemicals, endocrine disruptors (like parabens and phthalates), and harsh surfactants that can disturb your skin microbiome, hormone balance, and even oral bacteria. Natural products, especially those aligned with ancestral and non-toxic principles, support your body's own detox and protective mechanisms rather than overriding them.
🌿 Pure Basics Tip: Your skin and gums absorb what you put on them—so treat personal care like nutrition: if you wouldn’t eat it, don’t put it on your body.
Oral health is directly connected to the heart, brain, gut, and immune system. Chronic gum inflammation (gingivitis or periodontitis) can lead to systemic inflammation and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline.
Gary Brecka and Weston A. Price both emphasized the role of dental integrity and nutrient density (especially fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2) in preserving oral and systemic health.
🌿 Pure Basics Tip: Bleeding gums are not normal—consider them an early warning sign of inflammation or mineral imbalance.
Top culprits include:
🌿 Pure Basics Tip: If it’s not edible, do not put it in your mouth.
🌿 Pure Basics Tip: Rotate your products seasonally or by need—like you do with food—to prevent sensitivities and support balance.
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral (also found in your teeth and bones) that can remineralize enamel without the risks associated with fluoride. It’s safe if swallowed, biocompatible, and backed by clinical research.
🌿 Pure Basics Tip: Pair hydroxyapatite toothpaste with a mineral-rich diet (especially K2) for optimal enamel repair.
According to certain studies, certain gene variants can impair detox and B vitamin absorption, which affects gum and mouth health. Supporting methylation pathways through proper supplementation and avoiding folic acid (a synthetic version of B9) can improve outcomes.
🌿 Pure Basics Tip: If you have bleeding gums, fatigue, or poor healing, despite making suggested changes, consider testing your methylation pathways.
Yes! These are time-tested, low-tech ways to improve oral detox and reduce bacterial load.
🌿 Pure Basics Tip: Add 1 drop of clove or peppermint essential oil to oil pulling for added antimicrobial benefits.
100% yes. Weston A. Price’s research showed indigenous groups with nutrient-rich, traditional diets had near-perfect dental arches, strong enamel, and zero cavities—without brushing. It’s not about brushing harder, but eating smarter.
Key nutrients for oral health:
🌿 Pure Basics Tip: Chew your food thoroughly, especially raw vegetables and meats—this naturally cleans the teeth and stimulates saliva (nature’s first defense).
🌿 Pure Basics Tip: Your skin is a detox organ—sweating, brushing, and mineralizing your skin can support detox as much as clean eating does.
