Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Dear Jan and , The xylitol serves as a sweetener where normally it would be aspartame. Tea tree oil has natural antibiotic-like properties. Terpinen-4-ol and p-cymene, alpha-terpineol, and alpha-pinene seem to be the active chemical constituents. Tea Tree should NOT be taken orally. When using in a toothpaste, it is safe because of the amount used. It can also be irritating when used topically. It's been documented as being used successfully for these conditions: -- acne -- Bburns -- cold sores -- eczema -- fungal infections -- inflammation -- insect bites and stings -- mucositis -- skin infections -- wound healing Certain dog shampoos have it for dogs with sensitive or irritated skin. Terpinen-4-ol has also been shown to suppress inflammatory mediator production by activated human monocytes. Does this help?

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Hi Jan; No just a regular brush, just dip the front in the granulized xylitol and it's a sweeetener rather than a sugar. I'lll seee if i can find the website i dug up that suggested it. it works well. i just copied what the tube said and no technically natural and organic are not the same things but i don't know the exact difference. tea tree oil is good to fight infections and such topically i believe, been using it from the bottle for my hopelesss teeth that are doing alright now. without benefit of the dental industry thank you.I'll see if i can find that sylitol website in the next day or two. i think i saved it but no guarantes as webtv is limited. sorry. janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
