Himalaya Botanique - Herbal Dental Care

I recently had the opportunity to try Himalaya Botanique's range of natural oral care products. These herbally-derived toothpastes have their origins in ancient Indian medicine and combine traditional naturopathic herbs with contemporary scientific knowledge to provide the brightest, healthiest smiles for your family. I received generous samples of Himalaya Botanique's oral care toothpastes to try, along with a sustainable bamboo toothbrush, a reusable shopping bag made from reclaimed silk saris, and a toiletry pouch hand-printed with antique wooden textile printing blocks.

 

The subtle natural flavors are a welcome change from the often bracing chemical flavorings found in mainstream toothpastes and I felt like they provided as much, if not more, fresh breath protection throughout the day. Himalaya's botanical formulas are free of fluoride, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), carrageenan and gluten, so these are toothpastes that parents can feel good about letting their children use. They also come in range of formulas, including whitening and complete care, that make them very competitive with major brand trends. And unlike other natural brands we have tried, the texture and flavor of Himalaya is not chalky or off-putting.

Along with the oral care range, Himalaya Botanique also offers body/skin care a wide range of traditional herbs and blended herbal supplements to target specific needs. I am especially curious to learn more about the neem oil-based body products and also the Ashwagandha herbal supplement, which is an adaptogenic herb that has been used for centuries to promote energy, relieve stress and support healthy thyroid function and metabolism.

Stop Zombie Mouth This Halloween! (Free PvZ Game Download!)

My whole family is obsessed with Plants vs. Zombies. It started out innocently enough, with Bob and I playing on the iPad after the kids went to bed but eventually they got hooked, too. Jasper wants to be a bucket head zombie for Halloween this year and Roo's going to be a sunflower. Yeah, we've got it bad.

That's why I was so thrilled to hear about the collaboration between PopCap Games, the makers of PvZ, and the American Dental Association (ADA). The campaign is called Stop Zombie Mouth, and its goal is to redefine Halloween treats by giving away PvZ trading cards and free game codes instead of sugary, tooth-rotting candy. We gave away card packs along with plastic fangs as favors at our neighborhood Halloween party, hopefully without scarring any kindergartners.

If you'd like to give away PopCap’s hit Plants vs. Zombies instead of sweets for Halloween this year, you can download free game coupons at http://stopzombiemouth.com. The free codes are redeemable for the full PC/Mac edition of Plants vs. Zombies (a $19.95 value!) between October 30th and November 10th at the same website.
