Mouth Refreshing

Mouth Refreshing: One desiring of clarity, relish and fragrance should keep in the mouth the fruits of jati, katuka, puga and lavanga; kakkola (fruit), auspicious leaves of betel, exudate of camphor and fruits of smaller cardamom.

Teeth Cleaning

Teeth Cleaning Benefits: removes foul smell, tastelessness and taking out dirt brings relish immediately. The toothbrush: Use astringent, pungent, and bitter teeth-cleaning twigs for brushing the teeth. (A fresh twig is made into a toothbrush by crushing the end so as to create a frayed, fibrous brush free from splinters.) Plants recommended for toothbrush: “karanja, karavira, arka, jati, kakubha, asana and similar plants”
