Ratanhia

Ratanhia is one plant that’s never going to win a beauty contest. The bushy shrub loves dry and rocky sites and seems unimpressive at first glance.

About

About

Description

The people of the Andena Mountains in Peru traditionally use Ratanhia root to clean their teeth. Like all things Weleda, we respect that wisdom and build on it for natural health. The sturdy red root is rich in tanning agents which protect and strengthen sore gums, and it contains natural anti-bacterial qualities. We add calming myrrh and refreshing essential oils of peppermint and spearmint, with calcium-based cleansers for a naturally effective toothpaste.

Benefits

Regular use strengthens and tones gums to prevent bleeding, cleans teeth and prevents plaque build-up. Long-lasting fresh minty taste. Certified natural dental care. Free of sugar, artificial sweeteners, surfactants, synthetic preservatives, flavours, colourants, or raw materials derived from mineral oils. Vegan.

Ratanhia

The bushy shrub that grows on the foothills of the Andes in Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador is rather inconspicuous at first glance, and not at all beautiful to look at. Its inner qualities are what make it so valuable.

Quality product!

I recently purchased Ratanhia Toothpaste and love it! I've tried so many different organic/natural toothpastes on the market, and this is the first toothpaste that I like. Many toothpastes promise to 'leave your mouth feeling clean and refreshed,' but very  ... few actually deliver. Thanks for making such a quality product!

Blessed by your work!

At my age [64] gum issues are more possible. However each time I go to the dentist for 6mo. teeth cleaning, he and the hygenist are amazed how healthy my gums are. I owe it all to Weleda salt/myrhh toothpaste!  ... My teeth, gums & mouth feel so tingly and alive after brushing.Thank you for your devotion to such pure, healthy and evironmentally sustainable products. We all are blessed by your work!
