We spend over $ 3 billion to whiten our teeth. These procedures are quite expensive and have to be repeated over and over again.
Here is a simple home remedy.
What you need: ginger, salt and lemon.
Use: grind a piece of ginger, it can be done with a grater. Take 1/4 teaspoon of salt and add it to the ginger. Cut a lemon wedge, squeeze the juice into the mixture and mix well again. Apply it with a toothbrush.

By training, I am a American Board Certified Pediatrician. But in my younger years I grew up with natural alternatives. As a mom I have tried to incorporate both for my kids and it has worked wonders. And finally, as I am studying natural & alternative medicines, I realize the beauty and wisdom of living closer to earth. Hence in my practice I integrate both...for acute ailments I follow American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation but for simple and/or chronic conditions I prefer natural alternatives.
In western training we were raised to think that "health is the absence of symptoms and problems". But eastern sensibilities has educated me that "Health is state that allows one to use the full capabilities of their body, mind and intellect. Therefore, healthy living is a balanced state of well being: physically, mentally, socially and spiritually." This implies that healing is not a "one-pill-fits-all", but a personalized experience.
