The Lifestyle Herbalists Podcast--A healthy dose of happiness

What Your Dentist NEVER Told You About Herbal Medicine

Did you know 50% of adults have gum disease—but the answer isn’t just more mouthwash and prescriptions? As a herbalist AND dental hygienist, I’m pulling back the curtain on the powerful herbs your dentist probably didn’t mention in your last checkup.
In this episode, you’ll discover:🌿 Clove—nature’s "numbing agent" for toothaches (bye-bye, sensitive teeth!).🌿 Neem—the ancient Ayurvedic secret to slaying plaque bacteria.🌿 Calendula—the gentle healer for mouth ulcers and angry gums.
Learn how sugar is the nasty guest that won't leave and how xylitol can help rid oral disease.
Spoiler: Your oral health is directly linked to your gut, heart, and immune system—and these herbs can help all of it. No fancy potions, just science-backed plant magic.
Listen now—your teeth (and your whole body) will thank you!
P.S. Tag a friend who still thinks "natural remedies" are just hippie nonsense. 😉🌱

"As a new Mom with a love of all things beauty, it had never occurred to me that the makeup on my skin would eventually transfer to the hands and face of my precious baby. One day back in 2015, as I sat rocking my son, I noticed the tiniest hint of glitter on his face. It sent me into an instant panic and ignited my mission to find safe and clean beauty products.To my dismay, very few natural skincare brands could deliver the look I wanted without all of the toxins I didn’t. Naturally, I did what any mother would: I took matters into my own hands.Today, my at-home project has blossomed into a full-scale natural beauty operation backed by an all-star team of powerful women who know that living beautifully shouldn’t come with compromises."
