For some time now, essential oils have gained great popularity in dental care products. Due to their natural effectiveness, dental disorders can be reduced and prevented. But what are essential oils and where do they come from?
Essential oils are volatile substances produced by plants not only to promote their own growth but also to ward off pests and thus protect themselves from disease. These can be found in flowers, stems or bark, leaves or needles, and twigs or roots.
The Romans already knew and used the power of essential oils for certain treatments. Essential oils work through our sense of smell and taste, our respiratory system as well as our skin and nervous system. Any stimulus applied to one of these senses triggers a pulse which then affects our body as well as our psyche.
If we absorb essential oils through the skin, for example, with toothpaste in promis pastes or promis gel, they support wound healing, relieve pain, and have a disinfectant and anti-inflammatory effect. Essential oils can also be used to treat antiseptic gums. They support wound healing, heal and soothe mucous membranes, and inhibit plaque formation. They can also provide relief from gum disease, fungal infections, small wounds, or oral diseases such as herpes or mouth ulcers.
Dosage plays an important role here. Mild dosages have more effect on the psyche; medium or higher dosagescan even kill germs. This is also shown by our promis gel laboratory study: the unique formula of 6 different essential oils kills up to 70% of bacteria plaque and thus protects oral health naturally. Tartar formation is inhibited and the risk of tooth decay and gingivitis is minimized. Especially in the fight against bacterial germs such as candida, streptococci, and staphylococci, the use of essential oils is recommended for the gentle treatment of inflammation.
