🧠🌿 Why You Shouldn't Start Your Day with Commercial Toothpaste or Cold Water
🔍 1. The Mouth Sets the Tone of the Day
Your mouth is one of the most absorbent areas of the body. The gums and the tissues under the tongue are rich in blood vessels.
What you place in your mouth—especially the first thing in the morning—sends a signal to your entire system:
“Accept this. This is safe. Let it enter.”
So if you start your day with chemical-filled commercial toothpaste, you're training your body to accept chemicals for the rest of the day.
Your body’s energetic gate is now open to artificial substances—whether it's additives, preservatives, or stimulants.
🦷 2. The Tooth Bed: A Sacred Gateway
In TCM, your teeth are rooted in the kidney meridian, and the tooth bed is seen as part of your body’s deep essence (精, jing).
When you brush your teeth with harsh chemicals:
You are forcing toxins into your energy channels.
You weaken the root of your vitality.
❄️ 3. Cold Water = Winter Signal
In Traditional Chinese Medicine:
“当唇触冷水,身识寒冬。”
"When the lips touch cold water, the body believes it is winter."
Cold water tells your body to slow down, conserve energy, and prepare for hibernation.
If you do this every morning, all year round:
Your body thinks it's winter every day.
This can slow down digestion, circulation, and metabolism.
It weakens your spleen and kidney energy over time.
☕ Instead, begin your day with warm water or herbal tea, signaling spring or summer to your body—growth, clarity, and expansion.
🪥✨ A Better Morning Routine
Brush with natural, warm, essential oil-based toothpaste
Rinse with warm water or warm salt water
Drink warm lemon water or tea
Take a deep breath and say:
"I welcome only what heals and empowers me today."
