"She would chew one end to make it fibrous and use it to brush her teeth after every meal. What fascinates me the most is that despite her constant avoidance of toothpastes and conventional brushes, her teeth remain healthy and strong. At her age, she still eats githeri, "says Nduta, who goes on a search for the secret of the roots of the Sodom apple.
With the help of Morris Mburu, his professor of biology and the laboratory of the # 39; school, she
Mr. Mburu promised that if the plant had compounds that would kill oral bacteria, Nduta could register for the inaugural exhibition Young Scientist Kenya that was held in Nairobi at the beginning of the month
Nduta collaborated with her Lydia Njeri, a friend and clbadmate
After four months, they produced an organic antimicrobial mouthwash with cleaning sticks for organic teeth using tips of bamboo and sisal or cotton sawing tongues
mouthwash, they boiled the roots of the apple Sodom to extract the chemical compounds, which were tested positive for sapoline (an organic substance that acts as a surf tension breaker ace in the same way that the detergents work to clean the dirt of the clothes.)
They added acidified potbadium permanganate to test the unsaturated organic compounds and the tested positive compound.
This meant that the mouthwash kills microorganisms that affect oral hygiene, causing foul breathing or leading to diseases such as tooth decay, tooth decay and gum disease. 10 percent menthol powder to give it a nice flavor. For the color, we had the option to add turmeric powder or beet powder, "said Njeri.
They filtered the solution and precipitated the starch using the The solution was then left to decant for 18 hours and sterilized before being packed in clear bottles.
They then put the mouthwash to the test on 18 clbadmates , and raised the thumb (only two had slight allergic reactions.)
During their presentations, they argued that their product was better than toothpaste and the mouthwash did not have fluoride and d Other inorganic chemicals.They have emerged the best in the category of biology and ecological sciences.
Nduta hopes that more tests can be performed and the mouthwash adopted for the promotion of oral health Njeri, from one to On the other hand, would like to see someone help them get the approvals needed to market their mouthwash.
