Improve your oral hygiene by using a chew stick

Have you heard of a chew stick? It is one of the best ways to clean your mouth and is proven to be just as effective as using a toothbrush and even more effective at removing and reducing plaque buildup. Here is a quick video on how to use chew sticks and the benefits of chew sticks for humans.

I'm from Africa. .. we do this 1st thing in the morning, after meals if you can or before bed. The medicinal quality & tooth strengthening compounds are 2nd to none.

[@kendramoorelife]

I really appreciate your comment. I agree and science does too! Thank you for watching! What type did you use?

[@tinaholt717]

When I was a little kid in England (1960’s), we used to chew what we called Spanish wood. I didn’t know about using it for oral hygiene, I just knew I loved the taste, as well as the experience of chewing it. One day it disappeared from sale. I’m not exaggerating when I say I was devastated! Fast forward 50 years or so and it occurred to me that I could use the internet to find out what it was and hopefully buy some. It turns out it was liquorice root! I ordered a kilo of it and I now chew it every day! I’m so happy to learn from you that it’s also helping my oral hygiene, thank you 😊

[@kendramoorelife]

Hi! What an amazing story! We are from the South, and my grandmother used to use chew sticks as well. When she passed, she had all her teeth and in good shape! It is great for oral hygiene, and I enjoy it as well. It is a recent discovery for me, but. I'm glad I did. Especially when traveling or in a car after a meal. It is great to have!

[@QueenGail]

@ Tina Holt I’m glad you made this post because back in the day I purchased some from an African festival and I haven’t been able to find them either and they did taste like licorice, I’m going to try the internet also. I didn’t scrape the bark off mine 😂. Thanks again Blessings 💚💜

[@tinaholt717]

@@QueenGail hi Gail, I don’t scrape the bark off either, I like them just the way they are 😊. I find it very comforting to chew; I guess they remind me of a more innocent time. They also helped me to give up smoking 😂

[@kendramoorelife]

@Tina Holt I agree with you and Gail about keeping the bark on. For some, it is a turnoff... but I find it tasty either way! If you are interested in ordering. I do offer it on my site as well. See link below. 😊 moore-life.com/wellness-store/ols/products/african-chew-sticks-1-oz

[@psygertart]

Hey from the UK. I use the liquorice root. It's so convenient. I can just sit n watch TV while I use it. Been using them for about 2 weeks and my mouth and teeth have never felt better.

[@kendramoorelife]

That's awesome! I love them! No water or paste required. 😁

[@boredfive3001]

I bought some of these and still have them. Recommendation to anyone considering this. Get the flavored ones. I went all natural with mines. Also have a container or some place where you can store in water and it won't be disturbed. It takes some maintenance to maintain them once you start using.

[@kendramoorelife]

Oh that interesting regarding the maintenance. I cut the ends off after each use. How do you maintain them? I love the natural one, likely because this is licorice root, so it has a hint of flavor. Which do you have? By that I mean, type of stick...

[@ga9100]

Where do u get it from and ur a cutie

[@kendramoorelife]

@@ga9100 Hello! Thank you for your kind words! 😁 And you can get them from my website: moore-life.com/wellness-store/ols/products/african-chew-sticks-1-oz Thank You for watching!

[@TheTruth-lt9cm]

In West Africa, one of the chewing sticks is called orin ata (Yoruba). It’s warm and spicy when chewed and produces a somewhat numbing effect in the mouth. The medicinal and healing properties are phenomenal. There’s an abundance of saliva produced when chewing which spreads the antibacterial properties beyond the mouth. It takes some getting used to, but definitely worth a try… that is if you can get your hands on some!

[@kendramoorelife]

I love reading this! Thank you for commenting! Yes, most here in the U.S. are unaware of its benefits and effectiveness. My grandmother used to use a chewing stick and she had amazing teeth! Not one removed when she passed in her late 80s! I use the licorice sticks. Those are tasty as well. I offer them on my website. A natural one (my favorite) and Peppermint flavored. In case you are interested or know someone who is you can find them at www.moore-life.com. Thank you for watching and commenting! 🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️

[@BushraMTprofile]

No the stick that is used called arak stick or siwak not any other stick

[@hashimhandfield2625]

The heavies

[@princesse5043]

My mom used to use this thing called chewing stick back when I was little and we used it too. I don't know if she got them from Nigeria or if she bought them here. They do strengthen the teeth just like u said.

[@kendramoorelife]

Thank you for stating that they really work. Although an ancient way, it is new to many. I love using them and so convenient. No water needed, and I can do *and have done* in my car! If you are interested in getting some for nostalgia, you can find them on my wellness store: moore-life.com/wellness-store Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@Daveonarave]

Hi Kendra can i say thank you not just for introducing this effective looking product which i will see if i can find in UK (floss i dont get on with and picks only do so much) but for demonstrating in your own mouth how to use it - a lot of oral health videos lack a 'real person' demo. Thank you 🙏🏼 Your lipstick stayed impressively in tact but hey even if it didn't, that can be fixed in a few minutes. Decayed teeth are there for life unless one is rich. Have a lovely day

[@urickosa]

Hello Kendra, thanks for sharing this video. My question is, does it clean your tongue??.

[@kendramoorelife]

You are most welcome! Great question. Absolutely, it can. You would simply brush your tongue with it. Your entire mouth benefits from the natural properties of the type of chew stick that you use. I'll do a follow-up video in the near future. Thank you for watching!

[@cosettedurrant843]

Thank you for this info. This was very helpful. Where do I get these? In the stores or my back yard.? There are lots of spice trees. Can I use spice leaves sticks?❤

[@kendramoorelife]

You are most welcome! There are at least 20 different trees and shrubs that can be used. Additional benefits such as types of vitamins and minerals absorbed during the process will come from the species of the stick. You will have to internet search for that particular tree to be sure, but it sounds like a winner. Just in case, I also have them on my website. I offer unflavored licorice root: www.moore-life.com In the meantime, I hope you can use your trees. Spice trees sound amazing!!

[@florawyatt3380]

Yes we were using guava sticks

[@jay-nx4uq]

She’s beautiful and oh yeah I’m gonna purchase the miswak

[@darkbrothers3194]

This is miswak and it’s our Holy prophet Muhammad peace be upon him) sunnha he used to do it every day.

[@user-qi1qi1gb8t]

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION WHERE TO BUY THEM. THANKS FOR THE HELFUL AND USEFUL INFO!

[@kendramoorelife]

Hello! Thank you for watching! And you are right! I did forget! 🙍🏾‍♀️. You can find them on my website. Click on "Wellness Store" 😀

[@Gunshiner]

I got some from Amazon and the ones that I got are super light and it tastes horrible. It looks nothing like the ones I’ve been seeing around.

[@kendramoorelife]

@Gunshiner Sorry to read that. By chance, did you get Miswak sticks? Those are the only super light ones I know. I have been meaning to try them as they are super popular. I have some regular licorice sticks and peppermint flavored licorice sticks on my website: moore-life.com

[@Gunshiner]

@@kendramoorelife Those are the ones I ordered. Just got em today. They taste like sin, dog and hate. I’m beyond disappointed. Maybe I’ll try some of yours one day

[@kendramoorelife]

@Gunshiner awwww sorry to hear that.. you said "dog, sin, and hate"... ouch!! LOL! If you have a natural store nearby, they may have some as well.

[@lorismith2354]

I've been using a chewing stick for a few years, i also use olive to remove

[@kendramoorelife]

That is awesome! I haven't done oil pulling yet. I know it is amazing for oral health. Yes, the chew sticks are amazing! And I love using them after a meal. Plus they are fun to chew! 😆

[@faezahjulie]

Does it freshen bad breath

[@justinkerr451]

On my licorice stick pack it says it may cause hypertension in large amounts. Do you know what a large amount is and is it safe to chew throughout the day?

[@africanroots_kingjoseph]

Hi! Thanks for the info. I got my first chew stick yesterday. The chew sticks I got are flavored. I forgot what tree the chew sticks came from. 🌍

[@slitheryserpent5949]

The Black "conscious" community been using them in the u.s. since at least the 90s probably before.

[@kendramoorelife]

Indeed! My grandmother use to use them when she was young. And other cultures as well (India, Asia, e.g.,) have been using them for hundreds of years. I am glad it is being rediscovered.

Incredibly interesting. I’ll definitely be checking into this more! We have all types of naturally growing medicinal plants here. Would be wonderful if I could utilize some. But nice to know they’re sold in the marketplace, as another option.

[@kendramoorelife]

Appreciate you watching! It's great you have some around you. It is amazing how beneficial plants, trees, and weeds are to us. We just need to learn how and be willing to give it a try. If you decide to purchase, consider my site. I offer licorice root. But first, I encourage you to use what is around you. I find it makes one even more amazed at the nature we see every day. Have a good evening!

Do you swallow the saliva when u chew it or spit it out?

[@dammyabdul9657]

It's optional... Depends on the individual

[@sweetbeep]

Why cut off the used portion? We can't reuse it?

[@kendramoorelife]

Great question! You want to cut it so germs from your mouth do not breed. At least that is what I do. It doesn't have to be cut down as far as I did which will make it last longer. Feel free to try a different cadence to cut it. Thank you for watching!
