Use Nara Cleansing Powder as you would use toothpaste; after meals, snacks or drinking sugary drinks, including fruit juices.  You may find it easier to pour a little into a small bowl and scoop with your wet toothbrush from the bowl, adding more as you go, if you prefer.  Brush a minimum of 2 minutes.  When you rinse, sip about 1/2 oz. clean water, swish for 15 seconds, spit and repeat.

To help re-build tooth enamel, add a few drops of ConcenTrace trace minerals after applying powder to your toothbrush and brush as usual.  More Uses...

If you ordered Nara Powder in bulk for use in your irrigator, in a separate container (such as a clean jar with a lid) mix 1-2 tablespoons of Nara Powder with 12 oz. distilled or highly filtered water. Screw lid on tightly and shake vigorously so all of the powder goes into solution. More powder may be added as long as the contents go into solution. Warm to room or body temperature (whichever is most comfortable) and pour into the reservoir of your irrigator.

(Never mix the powder and water in the irrigator's reservoir - always use a separate container.) Irrigate as usual. After irrigating, run clean water through the irrigator, hose and tips to thoroughly flush out any residual mixture. If this is not done, clogging may occur causing the irrigator to operate less optimally or to not operate at all.

As a BASIC mouth rinse, mix 1 teaspoon of Nara Powder with 10 oz. distilled or thoroughly filtered water. Pour off approximately 1 ounce of the mixture into a shot glass or other small, measurable container and save the remaining 9 oz. for future use. Swish with ½ oz. for 30 seconds, then spit. Repeat with the remaining ½ oz. This mix should accompany any brushing and irrigating that you do. It is not meant as a replacement.

As a RE-MINERALIZING rinse, set up your mixture as described above. Once you have measured off 1 oz., add 20 drops of CONCENTRACE Trace Minerals (about ¼ teaspoon) then proceed as above. Note: Your teeth must be thoroughly clean for any re-mineralization to occur, so save your Re-mineralizing rinse as the final step after irrigating, brushing, etc.

As an ANTI-MICROBIAL rinse, set up your mixture as described for the Basic rinse. Once you have measured off 1 oz., add about 6 drops of OraMD, then proceed as above.

With any of these procedures, it may be helpful not to rinse away any residual mixture by rinsing with water. Leaving any residual mixture in the mouth can enhance the desired effect of the mixture(s) and should eventually be washed away by your saliva. The only exceptions would be if you further rinse with a product such as Biotene or TheraBreath for dry mouth (xerostomia) or if you take a probiotic lozenge as a part of your hygiene process.
