Tooth Meditation Tongue Jiggle Activates Your Relaxation Response

While Sitting At Your Computer

Connect your mind with meditation and some physical action and you'll be able to switch on a relaxation response. The relaxation response is a parasympathetic state of body and mind that arises through the stimulation of the Vagus (tenth cranial) nerve which leads to positive body changes such as:
  • slower heart rate
  • lower blood pressure
  • greater immunity
  • overcoming inflammation
  • less stress
  • release of stem cells for tissue repair

According to Chinese Medicine theory the heart and lung are located in the area of the chest called the upper energizer. The heart governs blood and the lung governs qi. The circulation of heart blood depends on the help of lung qi moving it to ensure smooth circulation. Deficient heart qi can affect the health of the lungs leading to congestion. If you want healthy lungs the heart has to be pumping efficiently and for a strong heart the lungs have to breathe fully and clearly.

This explains why aerobic exercise benefits both heart and lungs and a cardiac pacemaker helps prevent fluid accumulation in the lungs. The vagus is involved in the efficient functioning of the lungs and its stimulation is a key stage in relaxation meditation. It can be stimulated in many ways one of which is pressing the tongue against the palate and swallowing your saliva.

The vagus nerve contributes to tongue movement through the palatoglossus muscle. Some dental patients have trouble relaxing their tongue during dental procedures. It fidgets, darts and pushes with extreme forces against any dental instrument it comes into contact with. The thrusting and side to side tongue lashing is one of dentistry's greatest frustrations and limitations to quality treatment. That's why every dentist is trained and tested in the exceptional martial arts of tongue fighting. You can be sure that your dentist has earned a black belt in the specialized fighting art of the "way of no tongue." -:)

In jest, the tongue is such a formidable opponent that we often have no choice but to resort to the "dim mak" touch of death with a shot of novocaine temporarily numbing it with partial paralysis obedient to our every command. And now you know how the legendary TV kung fu artist "Caine" was named. :)

Actually, if you have read "Teeth In Mortal Combat" you'll understand why your tongue is your best friend and should be treated with the highest respect it deserves. The following meditation will help you become more familiar with your tongue and it's natural ability to support strong healthy heart and lungs.

Black Tongue Award
After the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima the Atomic Energy Commission confiscated documentary film of the disaster and its effect on human life. It is alleged they did this to prevent the medical effect horrors of radiation exposure from reaching the public which could put a negative light on the government trying to sell a new civil defense program. For decades it was part of a broad effort to suppress a wide range of material related to the atomic bombings, including photographs, newspaper reports on radiation effects and information about the decision to drop the bomb.

In his new book Atomic Cover-up: Two US Soldiers, Hiroshima & Nagasaki, and The Greatest Movie Never Made Greg Mitchell explains United States' coverup of nuclear footage from Hiroshima and Nagasaki.



White Teeth Award
Dentists at the Irish Dental Association have issued a warning that many teeth whitening products sold on the internet have high hydrogen peroxide concentration that could be deadly. Others with ridiculously useless low levels are a waste of money. They also strongly state that pregnant women and teens under the age of 16 should never whiten their teeth. These warnings are in line with the information found in the most comprehensive book on teeth whitening, The Teeth Whitening Cure.

Recently dentists have been trying to develop safe specific protocols for improving the oral health of elderly and special-needs patients using carbamide peroxide in custom fitted bleaching trays. Normal oral hygiene skills, such as brushing and flossing, can be very challenging or impossible for people with impaired manual dexterity or mental challenges. Plus, when medications and health complications interfere with saliva secretion, xerostomia (dry mouth) reduces the natural protective mechanisms of the saliva on teeth and gums. This leads to plaque accumulation, cavities, gum disease, and could further impact the person's health from lungs to heart.

Carbamide peroxide used today to whiten teeth was originally prescribed as an oral antiseptic to kill gum disease bacteria. It also raises the pH in the mouth which helps prevent cavities. Ask your dentist for more information if you or a loved one could benefit from this at home treatment.
