Who believes their dental hygiene affects their ME/CFS?
Welcome to Phoenix Rising!

I use a home made essential oils spray when I clean my teeth. It is the 'Thieves' mix which is supposed to kill 99% of bacteria, made from 5 oils added to distilled water which are should be food grade. I also use it whenever I have been in contact with flu virus - I just spray it to the back of my throat. It can also be used to coat the hands when returing home. I don't catch anything now.
Thank you so much!Clove

In a small galss bottle with spray top I use about 3 drops of each though some sources vary the amounts. It can be used for anything. It works on mould I have found.
Yes my overall health is probably worse because I don't put enough time and effort into dental hygiene.
But if I put more time and effort, my health would be worse too. I should do a little more, but beyond that, it's not worth it.
well, there are of course those issues about bleeding gums being an entry point for bacterial infections. But mostly I see it the other way around.
At the moment I have no real issue with brushing or flossing but I had two years where I could not use a knife and fork, and many more where flossing was beyond me most of the time. Even when it was posssible it was a sort of brute force thing where I would clumsily pull the floss between my teeth so hard that it often left my gums bleeding, and it was just in and out no attempt to apply the floss to one surface and then another.
I have also had digestion issues that meant I was not probably not absorbing minerals and fat soluable vitamins for much of that time, which left my teeth transparent in places. They are getting better on vitamins K, A and D, bile salts and betaine hcl.

Got me thinking, have you tried other combinations as well, teatree, ginger, fennel, sage and maybe peppermint or spearmint for flavour? Don't these oils have an issue mixing well with water as well? Anyway such a great idea to use these as a spray.
