Alum & Salt Morning Cleansing Routine

Use alum and salt mixture as part of your daily morning cleansing
routine.  This mixture is used to cleanse the mouth and tongue, not only
for whiter teeth, but for your health, too!  There is a yoga recipe for oral
hygiene:  take two parts powered Potassium Alum mixed with one part
salt and use like a tooth powder to brush your teeth and more important
your tongue!  You can obtain potassium alum and salt mixture from our
store,

Why follow this practice?

During the night our mouths turn into an incubator for a host of different
bacteria and germs.  If you do not cleanse the tongue and mouth first
thing upon waking you will swallow many germs and bacteria when you
take your first drink of water.  Which is like introducing poison into your
body, so please help to keep yourself disease free by following this
simple solution.  Make sure to reach all the way back and clean the
tongue until you gag and cough up the brown mucus that is hidden back
there.    These germs and bacteria not only form on the tongue but on
two little glands at the back of the throat that need to be cleaned of
mucus, too.  Making yourself gag has the added benefit of causing the
eyes to water, which in turn, helps to flush and cleanse them out.  This
aids in the prevention of cataracts and eye related disease.  You may
follow this brushing your teeth with toothpaste as the alum is a little bitter,
somewhat like a lemon, but very naturalizing.
Each morning start with a
cleansing routine
to aid in purifying the body
before beginning your daily
Sadhana - which is for
purifying the mind and spirit.  
As one approaches the divine,
the body should be cleaned,
dressed in fresh clothes, and a
sacred space provided for
your spiritual practice and
meditation.  
Purity of body helps to
bring purity in thoughts,
action, and deeds...
