Believe it or not, chamomile tea is one of the best and safest natural ways to whiten your teeth.
Contrary to many claims, according to which, you have to spend a lot of money, in order to be able to have a sparkling smile, you only need to spend money just to buy chamomile teabags from the supermarket.
Even better, you can buy the “real thing” from a specialty store that sells herbs and other similar items, where you can get very good quality dry chamomile flowers.
Or, if you are lucky enough, you can harvest your own chamomile from your own backyard, if you have one.
So, once you get your hands on some nice dry chamomile flowers, you only need to bring a cup of water to boiling point.
Then, add the chamomile flowers, and let them brew in hot water for about five minutes.
After that, you strain the brew to remove the chamomile flowers, and there you have your nice chamomile tea, ready for you to drink it!
If you use a teabag, just drop it in a cup, add hot water, and let chamomile brew for about five minutes.
Then take the teabag out of the cup, and you can drink your chamomile tea straightaway.
In both cases, you can add sugar.
Of course, it is not recommended to use sugar when you try to whiten your teeth, because in this way, you can do more harm than good to your teeth.
Thus, I strongly recommend you to try to avoid adding sugar in your cup of chamomile tea.
From my personal experience, I can testify to the fact that chamomile tea has indeed a whitening effect on my teeth.
After sipping it, preferably without sugar, I feel my teeth cleaner, and I have noticed that after using chamomile tea for a few times, any stains on my teeth have started to disappear.
As opposed to other types of tea, or coffee, chamomile tea does not leave any stains on your teeth after drinking it.
So, you don’t have to drink any water after it.
Chamomile tea not only cleans your teeth, but also literally disinfects them, due to the fact that its action is similar to that of a gentle disinfectant.
