Alkalizing Mouthwash: Invigorating Your Mouth
Improving Dental Health With Baar’s Alkalizing Mouthwash
AlkaCare® is a specially formulated alkalizing mouthwash that can help improve the pH of your mouth on a daily basis. There are several reasons why your mouth may experience excess acidity. When the mouth is too dry, it may have lost the ability to produce saliva, which acts as a natural buffer and cleanser to the teeth and gums. Sjorgren’s Syndrome, Diabetes, smoking, prescription and chemotherapeutic medications can all affect saliva flow. In addition, eating high concentrations of acidic or sugary foods, experiencing stress and simply not drinking enough water can increase the saliva’s acidity causing potential tooth demineralization, increasing bacterial growth and causing bad breath.
Along with brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups, AlkaCare® works to fight acidity and restore the mouth’s pH balance. Add this refreshing alkalizing mouthwash to your dental routine and experience a clean mouth and fresh breath. AlkaCare’s® antiseptic properties helps soothe sore gums and make it perfect as a gargle to relieve a sore throat.
How to Use AlkaCare
Get a refreshing start to your day with AlkaCare®. Vigorously swish ½ ounce for 30 seconds, morning and night. For best results, use after brushing and flossing. This unique alkalizing mouthwash may also be used as a natural gargle to soothe a sore scratchy throat or as a rinse to soothe mouth ulcers.

What is Castor Oil? From Ancient Remedy to Modern Marvel
Perhaps you have been hearing incredible stories about Castor Oil’s amazing healing properties and you’re wondering, “What is Castor Oil anyway?” Castor Oil is one of nature’s best kept secrets! Renowned for its hydrating and moisturizing properties, it is also being utilized for a variety of health complaints.
Native to India, Africa and Central America, Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the Castor plant. Castor seeds are rich in precious oil, which makes up 50%-60% of their weight. When pressure is applied to the seed, the oil with all of its unique nutrients, minerals and essential fatty acids are released. The oil can range in color from pale to light yellow and has virtually no taste or odor.
What is Castor Oil?
…From Ancient Remedy to Modern Marvel
Ancient Egyptians were the first to record the use of Castor Oil for medicinal purposes, and since then it has been used by many cultures who attest to its therapeutic value. Castor oil is also referred to as Palma Christi, because the shape of the plant’s leaves were thought to resemble the palm of Christ and because of the incredible healing power it possesses.
The effects of Castor Oil are impressive and have been used to address an extensive range of health concerns. Medical research on Castor oil for the treatment of diseases may be limited but many people have personally experienced how effective the oil is for easing pain and speeding up healing. Castor oil is considered to be one of nature’s miracle oils and a must for your home medicine cabinet.
Castor Oil’s reported health benefits include:
- Promoting healthy digestion
- Enhancing liver function
- Improving eliminations
- Relieving muscle and joint stiffness
- Reducing inflammation
- Relieving nausea
- Improving lymphatic flow
- Relieving abdominal discomfort
- Aiding the body’s detoxification processes
- Reducing swelling
- Providing immune support
How is Castor Oil Used?
One of the most effective methods of use is through topical application as castor oil packs. The pack is generally made of an absorbent material like wool or cotton flannel. The Castor Oil is poured onto this material and then laid directly onto the body. Heating pads are especially helpful for this process because they warm the oil and allow it to penetrate more deeply. These types of applications should be done regularly and can last anywhere from an hour to two hours. Topical application of the oil, using a castor oil pack, is not only relaxing but produces excellent results. After removing the pack, clean the area with CastorWash™ to remove impurities, as well as alkalize the skin.
Where Can I Get it?
All of Baar’s castor oil brand products are made with cold-pressed, cold-processed Castor Oil. Choosing this high quality oil ensures that you are receiving the nutrient rich fatty acids that are known for their pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties.
