Rate

Chewing on roasted sesame seeds – either white or brown – as per ayurvedic tradition, is one effective remedy to not just improve the bowel movements but also strengthen teeth and gums.

Teeth and gum health needs more than just regular brushing. They need to be strengthened with calcium-rich foods.

As per Ayurveda massage therapist Niti Sheth, chewing roasted sesame seeds early in the morning helps strengthen the teeth and improve receding gums.

After chewing, brush your teeth again with a soft toothbrush, without using toothpaste or toothpowder.

Why sesame seeds?

As sesame seeds are rich in calcium, they preserve the bone around the teeth and gums. They also help slough off plaque while helping build tooth enamel.
