Plenty of people who swear by natural remedies regarding oral health or detoxing the mouth tend to practice oil pulling. Oil pulling is an age-old practice that involves swishing oil (typically coconut or sesame oil) in the mouth and then spitting it out. The claim is that oil pulling can help remove plaque and keep oral bacteria in check and although some research exists, most of the evidence is anecdotal.

What Is Oil Pulling?

An article in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine described oil pulling as swishing oil around in the mouth first thing in the morning. By swishing the oil in the mouth, you “pull” the oil between teeth. Ideally, you do this for five to 20 minutes and spit the oil in the trash when finished. It is important not to swallow the oil or spit it down the drain, as that can affect plumbing. The practice stimulates saliva production and helps remove harmful oral bacteria.

Does Oil Pulling Work?

Some studies exist on oil pulling’s effect on oral health and hygiene. Most of the discussion is about which oil is the best for the practice. The research is as follows:

• One study concluded that oil pulling with coconut oil is more effective than sesame oil in reducing the severity of gingivitis. 
• Another study found that oil pulling with coconut oil was as effective as chlorhexidine, a prescription mouthwash, in the reduction of Streptococcus mutans, the bacteria believed to cause tooth decay. 
• Olive oil may also be useful for oil pulling because it exhibits antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. 

It’s important to note that these studies, and other studies, were mostly small-scale, so more research is necessary to draw positive conclusions about oil pulling. The American Dental Association (ADA) does not consider oil pulling to be a reliable replacement for brushing and flossing. It may enhance your oral health routine, but you continue to brush and floss as you would in your normal day.

Oil Pulling With Coconut Oil

Unlike alcohol-based mouthwashes and toothpaste, oil may get into those hard-to-reach parts of the gums. The natural antibacterial properties of oils like coconut may help break down bacteria. A lot of people who oil pull with coconut oil find that their teeth and gums feel much healthier and cleaner when they add it to their oral hygiene routine. Oil pulling is not a miracle cure, nor is it for everyone. There is a good chance that it can help promote healthier teeth and gums, just like Dherbs’ Natural Tooth Powder, especially if you use it in combination with other oral health practices. 

Coconut Oil Pulling With Essential Oils

Below, you will find a recipe for coconut oil chews, which make oil pulling a little easier. We added essential oils for flavor and health properties that may help enhance oral health. Peppermint, clove, and tea tree essential oils work to improve the taste. Whichever essential oils you choose, make sure that you are not allergic, they do not interact with your meds, and that they are safe for oral use. 

Coconut Oil Pulling Chews

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 10 drops peppermint essential oil
• 10 drops clove essential oil

Instructions:

• Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. You don’t want it to be solid, but you don’t want it completely liquid either. 
• Remove from the heat, add essential oils, and mix gently. Pour the mixture into silicone molds and put in the fridge or the freezer to harden. 
• Once the molds are firm, remove from the molds and store in a jar in the fridge. Use one chew per day, or as needed, for oil pulling.

Finding the right gift for special people in your life can prove challenging. That is especially true for those fitness enthusiasts, who seemingly have all the hottest gear and gadgets related to fitness and exercise. You want your gift to be thoughtful and made to last, and it should help the person reach their fitness goals. Remember that your gift should also be the appropriate size for the person you have in mind. It should fit them or it should fit their space. 

In order to help you give the best fitness gifts to your fitness friends, we have compiled a list of helpful ideas. Some gifts are directly related to working out, while others are integral to proper recovery. Keep your budget in mind when perusing items from this list, as you don’t necessarily need to blow your bank account to make someone’s holiday season. 

Fleece-Lined Leggings

Rain or shine, snow or wind, active people are typically determined to exercise no matter the weather. Cold weather can be a big deterrent for some, but not if they have the right gear. Fleece-lined leggings allow for ease of movement, all while keeping the wearer warm. Great for morning jogs or steep winter hiking trails. There are probably some that are moisture-wicking or water resistant, which could benefit those who live in rainier climates.

Dherbs Active Hoodie

Perfect for the fit woman in your life, the Dherbs Active Hoodie is currently on super sale. It is a cropped, lightweight hoodie made for casual wear and active lifestyles. It has cuffed wrists, a small logo on the chest, and comes in gray and black. The hoodie offers a trendy, flattering silhouette that pairs beautifully with high-waisted leggings or jeans. Click here for more info about the hoodie. 

Personal Massage Gun

The great thing about massage guns is how accessible and affordable they have become. About ten years ago, you’d be lucky to find a personal massage gun for $400, and it was likely loud. Now, they are very affordable, quiet, and come with a variety of attachments to maximize recovery. Got a friend or family member that goes a little too hard on leg day? The soothing percussive pulses help alleviate sore muscles. You can even get travel size ones!

Boxing Gloves

Do you know someone who regularly takes boxing or kickboxing classes? Get them a new pair of boxing gloves to encourage their workout hobby. Make sure to get ones that have thick foam padding and ventilation holes to provide airflow to stop sweat from building up during longer sessions. 

Essential Oil Diffuser

Add a touch of zen or beautiful aroma to the home with a small, stylish essential oil diffuser. It’s a great little gadget to have, especially if the person loves yoga, meditation, self-care, or just breathing clearly. Pair the diffuser with some high quality peppermint or eucalyptus essential oils and they will be breathing easy in no time! 

Running Gloves

First of all, you do not need gloves to run. The gloves help keep your hands warm if you run outside in cold weather. Many of these gloves have touchscreen compatible fingertips that can swipe, touch, or whatever you need on your smartphone or tablet. Most of these gloves have a budget-friendly price point as well!

Resistance Bands

These are perfect for any fitness enthusiast, regardless of their gym membership status. Resistance bands can be used anywhere and help intensify any workout. Make sure you read the reviews, though, as some are cheaply made and tear after minimal use. You can get short-length bands or longer bands that have handles. 

The Dherbs Athletic Package

Unlike our other cleanses, you do not have to follow a raw vegan diet. The Athletic Package is a comprehensive pack of herbal supplements that aim to encourage optimal athletic performance. They work to build and nourish the musculoskeletal system for anyone who is looking to get in shape. The complete five-formula regiment also works to support joint health and flexibility.

Last week, over half a million bottles of prazosin hydrochloride, a blood pressure medication, were recalled by drug manufacturer Teva. The reason for the recall was because testing revealed higher-than-acceptable levels of impurities known as N-nitrosamines. All of this information was released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) via an enforcement report.

The enforcement report detailed a Class 2 event, indicating that the affected medications, “…may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.” The recall is for 1, 2, and 5 milligram (mg) doses of prazosin hydrochloride. This medication is an alpha-blocker that is FDA-approved to help treat high blood pressure. Some people also use prazosin hydrochloride to treat benign enlarged prostate, nightmares related to PTSD, and temporary discoloration in the extremities due to cold exposure. 

You can check the lot number on your prescription to see if it was included in the FDA’s list. The FDA and Teva did not indicate whether consumers should throw out prazosin included in this recall. For the Class 2 recalls, however, the FDA states that people can typically keep taking the recalled medications unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer. That is entirely your decision to make, as stopping medication in certain instances may be more harmful. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions regarding your medication. 

What Are N-Nitrosamines?

These chemicals commonly exist in water and foods, including cured and grilled meats, dairy, and vegetables. Most people are exposed to some amount of nitrosamines, but that depends on diet and other factors. 

The N-nitrosamine impurities can form during the manufacturing or storing processes of a drug. According to the FDA, the N-nitrosamine impurities may increase the risk of cancer if people are exposed to them above acceptable levels and over long periods of time. If you happened to take a medication with nitrosamine levels at or below accepted levels, every day for 70 years, you wouldn’t be expected to have a higher cancer risk. As that is an estimation, you may not want to take that chance. 

At Dherbs, we are not medical professionals, so we cannot legally advise how you should proceed with this current recall. If you do take this specific blood pressure medication, though, consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have not received any information from the manufacturer. We are always here to help you improve your health and we encourage you all to do your research regarding not only our products, but anything that you decide to put in your body.

If you regularly suffer from premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menopause, infertility, or irregular periods, vitex, also known as chasteberry, may help. Historically, vitex has been a proven folk/herbal remedy for these issues, and newer research confirms this. Vitex is not only for women with hormonal issues; rather, recent studies found that it exhibits anti-tumor properties in different human cancer cell lines. 

What Is Vitex?

Technically, vitex is the name for the largest genus in the Verbenaceae family, comprising 250 species. The most common variety used for medicinal purposes is the chase tree, which is a small plant with berries that are similar in size to peppercorns. Native to the Mediterranean and Asia, vitex also goes other names, including lilac chastetree, Abraham’s balm, and monk’s pepper. 

Scientists are in pursuit of finding all of vitex’s biologically active compounds. After investigating more than 20 vitex species for chemical and biological properties, 18 beneficial compounds have been in the vitex fruit. An additional 200 compounds, including flavonoids, steroid, terpenoids, iridoids, and lignans, have been found in the 20 vitex species. Continue reading to learn how this plant can benefit female health. 

May Improve Female Fertility

According to research, vitex has demonstrated an ability to improve fertility, particularly in women with luteal phase defect (shortened second half of menstrual cycle). These women have trouble because their ovaries do not release enough progesterone. One trial consisted of 48 women between the ages of 23 and 39. They were diagnosed with infertility and took chasteberry once daily for three months. During the three-month trial, seven women became pregnant and 25 women experienced normalized progesterone levels. 

Another study evaluated 52 women with luteal phase defects from hyperprolactinemia (higher than normal levels of prolactin in the blood). Each woman received a dose of 20 milligrams (mg) of vitex or a placebo every day during the course of the study. After three months, women treated with vitex exhibited a reduction in prolactin release. Their shortened luteal phases were normalized and deficits in the luteal progesterone synthesis were eliminated. 

May Help Treat Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that lines the uterus grows beyond the uterine cavity. The lining of the uterus grows on ovaries, fallopian tubes, or the pelvic tissues in a woman with endometriosis. Medical experts are not fully aware of the exact cause, but some contributing factors include genetics and hormonal imbalance. Although you cannot do anything about the genetics part, you can help balance hormones with vitex. Some researchers suggest taking chasteberry or vitex for 12 to 18 months for maximum effectiveness. 

Helps Relieve PMS Symptoms

People who want to help naturally remedy PMS symptoms, especially cramps, often turn to vitex. It is one of the top herbal remedies for PMS relief. One study found that 93% of the participants who were treated with vitex for three consecutive menstrual cycles reported a decrease in the number of symptoms, or a complete end of symptoms. Additionally, vitex may help treat some menopausal symptoms and hormonal acne. 

An increased production of prolactin may contribute to cyclic breast tenderness, which is another PMS symptom. Vitex works well at reducing PMS symptoms because it helps suppress the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland. Various studies indicate that vitex may also reduce headaches, irritable mood, and breast tenderness, all of which can be PMS symptoms. One review found that five out of six studies concluded that vitex extracts were superior to a placebo for treating PMS symptoms. 

Vitex or chasteberry is available in many forms, including dried, ripe, tea, or extract. It is one of the prominent ingredients in two Dherbs formulas that are in The Female Cleanse, which can help provide essential nutrients for female health and support overall wellness.

If you feel that your sex drive has changed and your muscle mass is declining, you may be experiencing low testosterone (low T) levels. Low testosterone is not a life-threatening illness by any means; rather, it is a normal part of aging. If you are a younger man in his 30s and experiencing low T levels, then you may want to consider different approaches to boost your levels. 

The body naturally produces testosterone, which can be measured through a blood test. Symptoms can affect the quality of life, or they may go hand in hand with other health conditions. Getting tested can better inform you about your testosterone levels and how it affects the body. 

What Is Testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone that the testicles or ovaries mainly produce. The adrenal glands produce dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which the body transforms into both testosterone and estrogen. Testosterone, however, is the primary androgen, meaning it stimulates the development of male characteristics. Males naturally have higher testosterone levels than women do, and it plays many roles in different stages of life, such as:

• Fetal development: the sex-related gene on the Y chromosome initiates the development of the testicles in male infants about week seven in utero.
• Puberty for male children: responsible for many changes in pubescent males, including increases in height, body and pubic hair growth, increasing libido, and enlargement of testes, penis, and prostate gland.
• Adulthood: it is essential for the production of sperm, signals the body to make new red blood cells, ensures muscle and bone strength, and enhances libido.

If you think that your testosterone levels are taking a nosedive, pay attention to the following signs. If you notice that you have one or more of them, consider talking with your primary healthcare provider to discuss ways to boost levels. There are many foods that aid testosterone production, in addition to other methods, so don’t think that options are not available. 

Your Libido Is Noticeably Lower

Testosterone plays a predominant role in your sexual desire. It also helps men maintain and get erections long enough to have sex. It isn’t uncommon for men to experience erectile dysfunction occasionally, but if it is a persistent problem, low testosterone levels may be to blame. A sudden drop in sex drive or sustained drop in interest in sexual activity can indicate low T levels. 

Reduced Muscle Mass And Strength

Testosterone aids in both building and maintaining muscle mass. Men with low T levels often notice a loss of muscle strength and a harder time building muscle, even with regular training. In addition to muscle loss, it’s common for men with low T levels to experience an increase in body fat, especially around the abdomen. That can be very frustrating if you are putting in a lot of effort at the gym. 

Thinning Hair

First of all, hair loss can happen for many reasons, so low T may not always be the culprit. If your testosterone levels dip, it’s possible to experience thinning hair on the scalp, body, and face. Any sudden changes in hair thickness along with other symptoms may indicate another cause, which you should determine in order to solve the issue. 

Depression And Mood Changes

Declining testosterone levels do not just affect your physical health; rather, they can also impact your mental health. According to research, men with low testosterone levels tend to report more feelings of sadness, irritability, and lack of motivation. It’s common to blame those feelings on work- or relationship-related stress, but that isn’t always the case. If there is no obvious reason for your mood changes, low testosterone could be to blame. 

Energy Levels Decline

If you have a great sleep schedule and maintain a balanced diet and still feel persistent fatigue, low testosterone is a potential and likely cause. One of the telltale signs of low T is a dip in energy. When testosterone levels drop, energy levels tend to follow suit. That ultimately leads to a general feeling of sluggishness or lack of motivation. Too tired to do the activities you used to enjoy? It might be time to get your T checked.

If you are looking for a natural way to boost your testosterone levels, consider the Dherbs Testosterone Booster. It helps maintain balanced testosterone levels, assists in building and maintaining muscle mass, and contributes to feelings of energy and stamina.

It’s safe to say that Dherbs CEO A.D. Dolphin is no stranger to weight loss. He’s been referred to as “The King of Weight Loss” during his numerous appearances on Steve TV with Steve Harvey. With that title comes great responsibility, which is why he’s made it his mission to help Bigg Jah, Ryan Davis, and Onyika lose weight and transform their health and appearance as part of the ICAN Challenge.

What Is The ICAN Challenge? 

Now in its third season, the ICAN Challenge is Dolphin’s documentary series that follows two participants per season. For reference, season 1’s total weight loss came close to 300 pounds! It was one of Dolphin’s proudest moments in his career, primarily because it was the most intensive weight loss challenge he’s ever been a part of. The plan for the challenge was simple: 

• Use the Full Body Cleanse to help clean out participants’ bodies and get rid of that unwanted waste and weight.
• Help them develop smart workout and eating habits.
• Make sure they have the tools they need to emerge from this process and stick to a healthy lifestyle.

The Goal Of The ICAN Challenge

The primary goal is for people to change their lives for the better and emerge from the challenge more knowledgeable about food and exercise. With Dolphin’s assistance, contestants should leave the challenge and exercise the same way they did on the challenge, and eat better than they did prior to the challenge’s start. Naturally, it becomes more difficult to do that when you don’t have Dolphin watching your every move. Just to be clear, convenience is nobody’s friend! Losing weight is difficult, but the right plan makes anything possible. 

Season 1: Standout Transformations

To say that we were more than shocked by the final reveals and weigh-ins during the finale of season 1 would be an understatement. Bigg Jah and Onyika put in the work and gave it their all to leave the challenge not looking anything like they did prior to the start. After six months of living with A.D. Dolphin, cleansing, and exercising regularly, Bigg Jah lost a total of 162 pounds, while Onyika lost 90 pounds. Both contestants were nearly in tears after seeing numbers on the scale that they hadn’t seen in many years. 

Don’t just take our word for it, though. Feel free to watch their journeys by clicking here. All of the episodes are available on our YouTube channel. Both Onyika and Bigg Jah truly showed us that anything is possible!

Season 2: The Weight Loss Continues

The premise for the second season is the same, only it is half the amount of time as the first season. It follows Ryan Davis and Kim Kimble. Davis’ starting weight was 269 pounds and Kimble’s starting weight was 214 pounds. Tune in to follow their weight loss journey! You can stream all episodes now by clicking here.

For Dolphin, the ICAN Challenge is a pivotal moment in his career. Not only does it document the successes of the participants, but it also highlights the struggles and emotional toll that weight loss takes on people. It’s as emotional as it is uplifting and inspirational. In Dolphin’s words, “It is my goal to help people, and more importantly, give those following the journeys on the ICAN Challenge an insight into the world of cleansing. It is also my hope to inspire them, in hopes that they may change their lives in a more positive way after seeing the progress”

Weight loss is not linear and it is anything but easy. It looks different for every person, but each person has the ability and willpower to change for the positive. Subscribe to the Dherbs YouTube channel to catch a new episode every week. Thank you for the love and continued support.

There are many semaglutide and tirzepatide (known commercially as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro) on the market. These drugs target GLP-1 receptors and have been influential in the treatment of diabetes and obesity. Many people can experience dramatic weight loss and benefits for other chronic health conditions. At the same time, these medications come at a steep cost, which has prompted health economists to ask this question: are these drugs worth the price tag?

Two relatively recent studies have researchers questioning the use of GLP-1 drugs. Even though they have the potential to deliver impressive long-term health improvements, their current high price exceeds the accepted thresholds for cost-effective medications. That not only poses difficult choices for policymakers, but also insurers and patients. 

GLP-1 Drugs: A Pharmaceutical Breakthrough?

Before you start a medication, you should understand how it works. In a nutshell, GLP-1 drugs mimic hormones that regulate hunger and satiety. This process helps people feel full sooner, and they eat less as a result. During clinical trials, GLP-1 drugs have produced weight loss of 15-20%, a percentage range that far exceeds older medications. They don’t just help with weight loss; rather, they may also improve conditions like sleep apnea, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. 

That’s a big deal when you consider that obesity increases your risk of developing all of those conditions. According to premature predictions, GLP-1 drugs could potentially prevent thousands of cases of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. That said, there are many natural and healthier ways to contribute to overall health and wellness. The Dherbs Full Body Cleanse is one such program that can help you cleanse the body’s major organs and systems in just 20 days. One of the added benefits is weight loss of 10 to 30 pounds, which is depending on underlying health conditions and body weight. 

Here’s Why The Math Doesn’t Add Up

You can say that GLP-1 drugs offer a range of health benefits, and they do for some people, but at what cost? Generally speaking, a person spends between $700 to $1,000 per month on GLP-1 drugs in the U.S. Accounting for long-term health benefits, researchers have found that these drugs fall short regarding cost effectiveness. 

In an optimistic scenario, researchers used the best weight loss outcomes and long-term risk reductions. Even in that situation, the GLP-1 drugs did not meet the cost effectiveness threshold. This threshold is usually defined as less than $100,000 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY), a standard tool that health economists use to compare medical treatments. One study found that there would have to be a 30% price reduction of tirzepatide to meet the standard mark. For semaglutide drugs, they would need to cost 80% less than what they currently do. 

It’s important to note that Medicare pays for these GLP-1 drugs only if they are prescribed for diabetes or, more recently, sleep apnea. If Medicare expanded coverage, nearly three million beneficiaries would start using drugs over the next decade. Health economists expect those drug costs to total $66 billion, with nearly $18 billion saved through reduced hospitalizations. So over the next 10 years, Medicare would spend $48 billion on these drugs alone. 

Looking For Smarter Solutions

There are many other affordable ways to see better results without having to inject yourself with GLP-1 drugs. Plus, if you want to continue to see results, you have to keep using the medications. It’s much better to develop healthy lifestyle habits and lose weight with a plan in place. Anyone can tell you to exercise regularly, eat better, and establish healthy sleep habits, but those are general recommendations. 

At Dherbs, we pride ourselves in our all-natural products, especially the Full Body Cleanse. This 20-day program has helped people transform their health, and lose between 10 to 30 pounds in the process! Some people cleanse once per year to reset their bodies, while others cleanse back to back until they reach their desired health goals. There are knowledgeable customer service reps and an entire website full of resources to help you succeed. Plus, it’s a fraction of the cost of those GLP-1 drugs! Cleanse today and that weight will melt away, and the results are noticeable within a week, depending on the body and underlying health issues.
