NEEM TWIGS: HOLD IT STRONG

Image
Reading the long list of ingredients in my toothpaste, some of them I can't even pronounce correctly, wondering do I really need all this to clean my teeth or we have an alternative. Going back to roots is a FAD nowadays and who does not want to follow the trend. Switching to  Neem datun (twig) is one of the wisest decision I took to improve my oral health and hygiene.  Neem, as we all know, is the wonder herb with numerous health benefits. It is popularly known as 'Village Pharmacy'. In many rural areas still, neem datun is still used and considered better than the toothbrush and paste.  Neem twig is chewed for a few minutes. It releases a bitter extract which acts as a cleaning agent. The twig fans out into a natural bristle brush which works effectively to clean the teeth.  Let's check out some amazing benefits it offers: 1. It is fluoride, sugar, and sulfate free.  2.

What if people judge our writing skills, may what I do is not worthy of sharing, maybe it is mot useful. Maybe!  How many likes we get on our post become the most important criteria. We start losing the essence of sharing. We focus on stuff which people will like the most not that we firmly believe in.  And that's what we do when we doubt our abilities.   Self-sabotage is a killer of our creativity and our productivity. Let's switch on to action mode and start doing.  One step at a time. Started drawing after a long time. Sharing it with...
