1 Honey and warm water ‘Honey is an antibacterial agent,
which can be used for wound
management and reducing
inflammation. When it comes to teeth, a
spoonful of honey in warm water can
help to promote oral healing.’
2 Saltwater rinse ‘To alleviate the symptoms of sensitive
teeth, gargling with a saltwater rinse
twice daily can be
very effective. Salt
is also an antiseptic
and can help to
reduce inflammation.’
3 Oil pulling ‘Sesame, sunflower, clove or
coconut oil can help to reduce tooth
sensitivity. The practice of oil pulling,
which originates from India, involves
swishing the oil around the mouth for
several minutes before spitting it out.’

from Belfast
‘I’ve always been
incredibly healthy –
before getting into
rowing, I was a long
distance runner.
However, when the menopause
struck, I was blindsided by the side
effects. Then I found a range of intimate
washes and moisturisers from YES
(from £5.99, yesyesyes.org). The
products are organic, clean and
effective and when you’re strapped into
a rowing boat for 24 hours a day, it’s
important to
care for
every part of
your body.’
