Gateway to Health: Ayurveda & the Oral Microbiome

The health of your mouth is key for the overall health of the body.

Your oral microbiome, the collective genome of microorganisms that reside in the mouth, is the second largest microbial community in the human body.

Scientific research has shown that the health of your oral microbiome has far reaching implications for the health of major organ systems including the lungs, heart, brain, and gut. 

This course provides an in-depth examination of the science of the oral microbiome and a presentation of Ayurvedic perspectives and practices for maintaining the health of the oral microbiome and gut.

Consider the following:

• The oral microbiome is the source of the lung microbes that can prevent or encourage lung disease.
• Bacteria that causes gum disease can get into the bloodstream, along with plaque from the teeth to cause inflammation, blood clots and narrowed blood vessels and contribute to hypertension and strokes.
• Research has documented Erectile Dysfunction (ED) improvement with periodontal treatment.
• Growing evidence suggests a potential link between some infectious diseases caused by oral microbiota and Alzheimer's dementia.

The course includes three two-hour lectures and one 90-minute Q&A.

You will be able to attend the classes live Feb 18 - 28th and ask questions. Once you make your purchase, you'll get all the info you need to join live inside the course portal, and you will have lifetime access to the recordings and other materials.
