Binchotan Charcoal Toothbrushes: 'Black Maybe the New White'

In my previous post about Goodwell Company's toothbrush, I mentioned about Binchotan Charcoal bristles. This intrigued me to find more about Binchotan Charcoal, and surreptitiously stumbled upon an array of products manufactured from it! 

Binchotan Charcoal is being used for water purification, as a room freshener and has overwhelmed the health and cosmetic industry with its miscellaneous applications. What fascinates me more is its use in toothbrushes! (Maybe my dental fanaticism talking!).

Nevertheless, let's explore!

Its Genesis: It's made in the Kishu region of Japan, by burning oak branches at extremely high temperatures ( about 1000 degree Celsius) for several days, followed by abrupt cooling. It's also called White Charcoal, and its production dates to the Edo period. It's the highest quality activated charcoal.

Action: It has a natural cleansing ability. It is 100% alkaline due to carbon and thus is negatively charged. So, it attracts the positively charged substances (Toxins, poison, plaque) and gets rid of them. This activated charcoal has inherent antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties. In addition to this , it also balances the pH levels in the body.

What more can our oral tissues ask for?! Toothbrushes made from Binchotan Charcoal can help remove positively charged plaque, eliminate the pathogenic micro-flora and balance the oral pH. This can resolve issues of cavities, gum diseases, bad breath and oral thrush.

The Japanese company Morihata have created this exclusive toothbrush, in which Binchotan Charcoal is cleverly incorporated into the nylon bristles, purging the fear of teeth staining due to charcoal ,otherwise caused after using its powdered form.

Rightfully, it's the most natural way to get those pearly whites back by removing those obnoxious food- induced stains from the teeth. 

Indeed, this Black is the NEW WHITE.

Adding to its magnanimity, is its open source design system where one can design ones personalized attachments.
