Silver safety:
One negative claim is that silver will accumulate in your body, like mercury. They claim that silver is a heavy metal. It's not, it's a noble metal (also called "transitional" metal).
"Which Metals Are Noble Metals?
"There is more than one list of noble metals. The following metals are considered noble metals (listed in order of increasing atomic number): ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum, gold."
http://chemistry.about.com/od/metalsalloys/a/Noble-Metals.htm
https://www.thoughtco.com/introduction-to-noble-metals-608444
It is absolutely UNTRUE that silver does not flush out of the body. In the "Altman study, that shows that 90% of silver has left the body within about 12 hours of ingestion and 100% of it in about 24, through colon and bladder, mostly colon.

Here is a look at what the noble metals are, which metals are included in the group, and the properties of the noble metals.

The navel:

Did you know why to put different oils in the navel?

Our navel (Nabhi) is an amazing gift given to us by our Creator. According to science, the first part created after conception is the belly button. After it is created, it attaches to the mother's placenta through the umbilical cord.

Our belly button is certainly an amazing thing! All of our veins are connected to our navel, which makes it the focal point of our body. Navel is life itself!

The "Pechoti" is behind the navel, which has more than 72,000 veins. The total amount of blood vessels we have in our body is equal to twice the circumference of the earth.

👶🏻 We knew that to lower the temperature for babies, we place a cotton hyssop with alcohol in the belly button, now we know that with oil, it's better.

Applying to navel, Tea Tree oil cures dry eyes, poor vision, pancreas, cracked heels and lips, keeps face glowing, hair healthier, for knee pain, chills, lethargy, joint pain and dry skin. .

👩🏻 Apply neem oil on your navel, to get rid of stubborn blackheads and acne

😊 Apply almond oil on your navel, to help achieve a glowing face

👄 Apply mustard oil on the navel to remove dry and chapped lips. It'll also keep your bowels moving to remove harmful bacteria, but it'll keep the good. It really works like a mild detox.

👶🏻 Apply olive or coconut oil to improve your fertility.

☝🏻 Keep cotton soaked in alcohol in your belly button to cure a cold, flu and runny nose. When a baby has stomach pain, we put a few drops directly into the belly button and massage it for a few minutes around the naval area, the pain heals. Oil works the same way.

🥴 Keep a cotton ball soaked in brandy in your belly button, to relieve menstrual pain and cramps

Sesame oil is used for all kinds of joint pain. Also known to strengthen bones. A lot of parents use on their kids every night at bedtime.

🤢Use equal amount of mustard oil and ginger oil for stomach upset, bloating, nausea, and digestive problems.

🤧 Using warm oil improves blood flow to the nervous system and also improves the immune system. Heal constipation and build a strong digestive system. Relieves joint pain.

Thyme oil is antispasmodic, helps relax arteries and veins, reducing blood pressure and stress in the heart. It can also help strengthen and tone the heart muscles.

🚽 As a diuretic, thyme oil can help your body remove excess water, salt and toxins from your body, which helps with weight, blood pressure, digestion and more.

Thyme oil is an expectorant, which means it can help remove mucus from the airways and lungs. Thyme oil is approved by the E-Commission of Germany in the treatment of bronchitis, whooping cough and inflammation of the upper respiratory tract.

Remember that thyme oil is a powerful compound and should not be used directly on your skin, as it can cause sensitivity and irritation. You should first dilute with a carrier oil (such as olive oil, coconut oil or almond oil)
100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil is what you are looking for.

🔸 You can also put a cotton with CDS on the navel. This is for lowering fever, inflammation, gastritis, abdominal pain, etc.

* FOR KNEE PAIN * PARA
At night going to bed, put 3 drops of castor oil on your navel and spread it 1 and a half inch around your navel.

*FOR PAIN RELIEF IN YOUR JOINTS AND DRY SKIN* *🦾
At night before going to bed, put 3 drops of mustard oil on your navel and spread it 1 and a half inch around your navel.

WHY PUT OIL AROUND YOUR BELLY BUTTON?
Your belly button can detect which veins have dried up and by applying oil, those nerves open them up..

You can keep a small drip jar with the required oil next to your bedside and place a few drops on your navel before going to bed. 😴
💟🙏🏻🛐😘 thanks Allyson Bordelon

🥥 What is Oil Pulling?

Oil pulling is an ancient oral detox technique rooted in Ayurvedic medicine, traditionally called “Kavala” or “Gandusha”.
It involves swishing a natural oil (commonly coconut) in the mouth for several minutes to “pull” toxins, bacteria, and debris from the teeth, gums, and oral tissues.

📜 History & Origins
• Ayurveda (India, over 3,000 years ago) — used as part of dinacharya (daily self-care) for overall health, not just oral hygiene.
• Believed to balance the body’s doshas and improve systemic health through oral detoxification.
• Initially recommended sesame oil; coconut oil became popular later due to taste and antimicrobial properties.

🧬 How It Works (Science-Backed Perspective)
• Oil acts as a lipid solvent — binds to the fatty membranes of bacteria and helps remove them when spat out.
• Mechanical action — swishing loosens plaque and food debris, improving oral cleanliness.
• Anti-microbial properties — coconut oil contains lauric acid, which is antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal.
• Oral microbiome shift — regular oil pulling can reduce harmful bacteria like Streptococcus mutans, linked to cavities and bad breath.

💚 Benefits

Oral Health
• Reduces plaque and gingivitis
• Helps with bad breath (halitosis)
• May reduce tooth sensitivity over time
• Supports gum healing and health

Whole-Body Support (Indirect)
• Lower oral bacteria load → less inflammation in the bloodstream
• May support heart health, metabolic balance, and even reduce sinus issues (oral-nasal connection)
• Lymphatic link: Healthy oral tissues reduce drainage of bacteria and toxins into lymph nodes in the jaw, neck, and chest.

🧠 Oil Pulling & the Lymphatic System
• The mouth drains lymph to the submandibular, submental, and cervical nodes.
• Chronic oral infections or gum disease increase inflammatory load on these lymph nodes.
• By reducing oral pathogen load, oil pulling lessens the burden on local lymph drainage, helping prevent swelling or tenderness.

⚠️ Possible Side Effects & Cautions
• Temporary jaw soreness (especially if swishing too vigorously)
• Mild detox reaction: some people experience nausea, headache, or mucus release in the first few days
• Not a substitute for brushing and flossing
• Avoid swallowing the oil — it contains concentrated toxins and bacteria after swishing
• If you have active oral infections, broken fillings, or dental surgery wounds — wait until healing before starting

🥄 How to Do It (Step-by-Step)
1. Choose your oil — Cold-pressed coconut.
2. Measure — 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon.
3. Swish gently — 5–20 minutes (start shorter if new). Avoid gargling.
4. Spit into a tissue or bin (not down the drain — it can clog pipes).
5. Rinse mouth — Warm water or saline rinse.
6. Brush & floss as normal.

🕒 When & How Often
• Traditionally done in the morning, before eating or drinking
• Daily is ideal for oral health benefits
• Can be done a few times a week for maintenance

🌿 Pro Tips
• Add 1 drop clove oil or tea tree oil for extra antibacterial action (only if tolerated).
• If coconut oil solidifies in cooler weather, melt it in your mouth before swishing.
• Breathe through your nose to avoid jaw fatigue.

Can't shut up about this — our traditional oral care is WILDLY effective and backed by both science and generations of practice.

We don’t floss. Flossing was actually never on World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines and the US in 2016 due to a complete lack of evidence. It remains a controversial topic.

We use chewing sticks. The funny part, there is a far larger body of evidence supporting chewing sticks then floss.

Not just any stick only 'gifted' species — willow, birch, alder, dogwood sometimes even hazel — chewed on one end until it frays into a tough little wooden brush. Then we use that to massage our teeth and gums. Not a quick swipe — but a full, mindful massage. And here’s the wild part:
These sticks aren’t just mechanical.
They're medicine.
• Willow brings salicylates, and other anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, gum-soothing.
• Birch has xylitol, which at chewing stick level concentrations inhibits the growth of cavity-causing bacteria.
• The massage itself increases circulation and lymphatic drainage, supporting healing and gum strength in ways floss never could.
And if you want to level it up?
Add spruce/pine/cedar/fir gum.
Yup. The same sticky golden resin our ancestors chewed like gum. It's antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and full of healing compounds.
We chewed it, yes — but we also used it as a resin tooth balm. Rubbed directly on the gums or packed into damaged teeth.
This isn’t just hygiene. It’s oral pharmacology.
And it’s not about copying Western routines. It’s about knowing what our ancestors knew — that health isn’t just about removing bacteria. It’s about restoring balance, delivering medicine, and building resilience in the tissues that feed us every day.
This is the stuff I live for.
This is why I do this work.
Let’s remember that our ancestral plant knowledge didn’t stop at teas and poultices — it shaped our bones, our gums, our ability to smile into old age with every tooth still in place, and white.
Our old people are WAY more than a treasure trove of knowledge, they are the keepers of the keys that literally unlock our ability to live
