GuruNanda CEO’s Secret for Energy & Clean Mouth!

Puneet Nanda (CEO, GuruNanda) recounts a 2012 dental problem resolved without a root canal after following an Ayurvedic oil-pulling regimen at a yoga ashram, and advocates oil pulling plus tongue scraping as part of oral hygiene. He links tongue scraping and humming (a yogic practice) to improved oral nitric-oxide (NO2) producing bacteria, warns that alcohol/chlorhexidine mouthwashes disrupt the oral microbiome and can raise blood pressure, and describes a breathing exercise called "yogic coffee" to boost energy. He introduces the "butter on gums" toothbrush designed to be gentle for sensitive gums, describes dentist endorsements and free-sample give-back programs for dentists and oncology nurses, and emphasizes his hands-on quality control and supply-chain oversight for GuruNanda products.

Everything I do has a backstory and pulling oil also has a backstory. So when I went in back in 2012 to the yoga ashram, I actually had gone to a dentist and one of my own tooth was really in a bad situation. He gave me antibiotics, told me, come back and I'll do a root canal on you. Like it's. I don't want to lose a tooth at that early of age. So. But I, I didn't have a choice. I said, okay, whatever it is. And in the meanwhile, I had already booked my reservation to be in that yoga ashram. While I was there, I told the main acharya there that I have a tooth condition that could flare up and I would have to go back to the city and get into some fixing up to be done, maybe get a root canal done. He says, wait, let me put you on oil pulling regimen and see if that helps you. I said, okay. I didn't know what oil pulling was. I started oil pulling. He gave me a decoction. It was much more difficult than what it is today. And I was just flabbergasted because I. It's been what, 12 plus years since then. I did not get a root canal done. So that says a lot to you that it actually is an amazing thing if you actually follow the entire regimen. It is not a singular thing where you just do oil pulling and you'll be fixed with all your problems. No, it is something that has to be done in regimen. It's extended part of your brushing, flossing, rinsing part. It's the fourth and the fifth part. And the most important part, apart from oil pulling, that I learned in Ayurveda was tongue scraping. Tongue scraping, that, that you might think is a simple scrape of the tongue. No, because whenever you brush your teeth, you actually brush your teeth and gums. So you take off the gunk from there, but you forget your tongue. And half of the gunk is lying on the tongue. So if you don't clean it up, it's like it moves back on your teeth and gums. So it's almost like you did half the job because half the gunk is back on your teeth and gums. Now, if your tongue scrape, a lot of people here started brushing their tongue. I don't think it's like moving the material from here to there, there to here, versus when you tongue scrape, you're actually removing the entire debris, entire plaque that is sitting on your tongue out. And once that is out, that is the one simple thing that you can get to kickstart your way towards healthy life. One simple thing takes a second to do it. And that one simple thing can get you started into a healthy life. Because your digestive system doesn't start in your gut, it starts on your mouth. And once you have better saliva formation, once you have a clean tongue, once you have a good, healthy microbiome in the mouth, that means that will translate it all the way till your gut. Because a lot of people are taking prebiotics, probiotics right now, everything. And why are they doing all this? Because they are using alcohol mouthwash in the morning. And what that does is it not only kills the bad bacteria, it also kills the good bacteria. 98% of the mouth bacteria are good bacteria, causing oral dysbiosis, which means imbalance of the microflora microbiome of your mouth, which ultimately means there is less NO2 production. What is NO.2? NO2 was a molecule that was invented back in early 2000. So, so lately. And, and the guy I think got a Nobel prize for it. And the reason he this was so important of a molecule. It's one of the most important molecules in the body because this no 2 is the one that is responsible for causing the dilation of our blood vessels. So a lot of people, if there was a study recently done where people, healthy patients, when they did mouthwash, which was alcohol mouthwash or chlorhexidine mouthwash, which kind of kills entire microbiome, which also says 99.9% bacteria kill when they did that, versus people who did placebo, they saw that the difference in their blood pressure was unbelievable. And also the similar class of people actually had a raised blood pressure by about anywhere from 10 to 25 points. And the reason is because the NO2 production is killed, is gone. Now there's also another study which shows that if you actually tongue scrape every day, so your no 2 production in your mouth, in your body increases. Because there is a system in our body, there's a system where the NO2 converting molecules, the molecules that convert the nitrates that you eat. So nitrates are like things like beet. Beet has a lot of nitrates, watermelon has a lot of nitrates, spinach has a lot of nitrates. So nitrates that you eat actually get converted through a specific way pathway through nitrites into nitric oxide. That pathway is damaged. If the nitric oxide producing good bacteria, the healthy, the bacteria that are actually your friends, they're gone. So if your tongue scrape, you actually somehow populate them. Another amazing way to populate them is by humming. So there's a yogic kriya. And a lot of times when you go to a yoga master, he'll tell you, by the way, I'm also a trained yoga person. Whenever you go to a yoga master, they tell you to do a humming technique where it's called bees breath. You can Google it or see it on YouTube. Bee's Breath is when you deep breathe in and when you breathe out, you're kind of closing your senses and breathing out. And I have a video specific to that, but on, on the YouTube channel. But when you actually breathe out, so you actually see that your paranasal, nasal, sinuses area are actually getting all those extra NO2 production being done. There's a lot of study already on it that is being performed. There are big podcasters like Andrew Huberman and Peter Attia and all these people and Brian Nathan. These people have been Talking about how no 2 is a key precursor for high blood pressure and how in yoga, when you go to a yoga master, you tell him, I've got high blood pressure. He says, start doing this yogic technique for next 10 days and come and see me and do it for half hour every day. Start 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes. And in 10 days later or 20 days later, the person is already starting to see his blood pressure become better. The reason is because that no 2 production that is done because of the humming technique helps. Tongue scraping helps. Simple things, big help. That is the beauty of Ayurveda and yoga. A lot of these studies did not have a science backing or maybe written scriptures which were probably destroyed because India was attacked so many times by so many foreign entities. So all these scriptures were probably destroyed. Or even if they are there, they did not have that chronological science back. Harvard, Stanford kind of backing or systems that can show you that there's a lot of anecdotal evidences. And these anecdotal evidences are now finding roots as the studies are being conducted in Harvard and Stanford and these kind of big universities that are getting more and more keenly entrusted in this ancient civilization that has survived ages and that has actually thrived for ages. And that is what I want to do. I want to bridge the gap, bring all that knowledge that is still not here in full or it is being diluted. I want to bring it pure and natural right here so that the best people, people especially living in the interiors of America, people who do not have access to or who probably will never visit India or who probably will never visit China, who probably will never visit all these ancient civilizations, they can have the benefit. So sitting at their homes and make sure they are also assured that there is a person that they can talk to. I go live almost every week. They can talk to me directly. That is what I wanted to do. Give them access to somebody who actually can be the person in between, the carrier of that knowledge that is there to them right in their homes in Nebraska or Montana or Wyoming. So that is what I want to do. One of my close friends, he ended up having mouth cancer. And to the point where he couldn't brush. It pained him and it pained him to the point where he couldn't brush. So once somebody is in such kind of a situation, and a lot of people with periodontal problems, with mouth ulcers, with other issues, with any kind of ailment of the mouth, their gums become so sensitive, bleeding gums, these people, instead of actually doing a better job, they stop brushing. So instead of helping, it makes the matters worse. Now you are in a like chicken and egg game. You're becoming worse and worse. So for them, it is very important to have a brush that feels like butter on gums, that actually works like a regular brush, but doesn't hurt your gum, doesn't cause those ouchies at times. And that is the reason we created this butter on gums toothbrush. And once this was created, it became. I launched it, I gave it to a dentist friend of mine, Dr. Miles Madison. He is also called the gum father. He's like one of the top Beverly Hills periodontists. And he told me, my good Lord, I can't believe it, that this feels like butter and gums. This actually feels like butter and gums. Feels like clouds on my mouth. And he said, would you mind sending it to all my periodontist friends in Beverly Hills? I said, not a problem. I send them all free toothbrushes. We are actually, we have a scheme as of today in our office as a giving back piece of it. Anybody, any dentist who calls us for the first time and if they order 200 pieces of butter and gums toothbrush, we give it to them free of charge. They just pay shipping. That's it. It's free of charge for every dental office who orders it for the first time, we want. This is my. All the dollars that go into that are our give back to the community. Similar thing with cancer hospital. Any oncology nurse calls us, we immediately ship them product, whether it be MD Anderson or it be City of Hope. Or any other hospital, we immediately ship them. So that is something that we are doing as of today. Any dentist in America, if you're a dentist listening, just email us and I'll put the email in the links. Just email us. One of our sales rep is going to call you ship you first case free of charge. You just pay shipping. That is how much passionate I am about getting people to learn the difference. Because while growing up the one of, one of the things while growing up that I heard in a very big company's advertisement was if it doesn't bleed, it doesn't brush. So basically that kind of thing remained in my head, my personal head for the longest time because I grew up with an ad and I was thinking I would brush hard literally so that it would bleed a little bit. And that is the worst thing I did to my own self when I was a young kid. So don't brush hard. They are your own teeth. All they need is gentle removal of plaque. That's it. And if you brush hard, you're going to hurt yourself. You're going to. This is enamel. This is. Although it's very strong, it, it will get eroded off and once it's gone, it's gone. There is no magic pill in this world that can regrow it as of today. So that said, all I can tell you is that butter on gums is available. We do sell it in on Amazon and on our website on TikTok etc. And it's still there's a lot of resistance in a lot of big retailers to getting the butter on gums toothbrush. So what I started doing was I started putting it free of charge in every oil pulling bottle. So every oil pulling bottle that you get, you get a free butter and gums toothbrush. So get them if you have extra, share it with your friends and family. They'll come and thank you. I'll tell you a natural way which you can try. Doesn't work first time, but normally it does work now. Anybody who has a heart disease or any problems, don't do it. But let me tell you a natural way. So keep your hands right here. And then when you breathe in, you kind of deep breathe in and take your hands up and then breathe out through your nose. Like really deep breathe out. And so we'll do it together for about 20 times. Continue, continue till 20 times and you'll see that you will get energized. It is called Yogic coffee. So this is the yogic coffee. That way you get that exact caffeine kind of a lift without actually drinking one. The reason I want everyone to actually start using Guru Nanda. The big difference is that everything that we've done at Guru Nanda is all about making you be the guru of your own wellness. Because what helped me with learning Ayurveda and learning yoga and really getting into the entire wellness regimen was that I became the guru of my own wellness. And I want to transfer this knowledge to the underserved and let you empower you so that you can be the guru of your own wellness. But I also want to ensure that every product that you get with Guru Nanda name on it actually is very authentic. Actually you do not. So that you do not have to do all the back work that I had to. I am your guide. I'm your guide to the supply chain that you don't have to worry about. I'm your guide that will bring the peppermint oil from the farms in India. I'm your guide that will ensure that the product that is coming from Philippines or that is coming from any other part of the world, because I've spent 30 years of my life going country to country, farm to farm, doing all this. I want to use that knowledge of supply chain, create a product right here in Los Angeles, California and employ us own labor and create healthy products right here in Los Angeles in the best possible certified way we can and deliver it to you at the lowest cost. Sometimes when the products are made overseas and I just give instructions, I'm not sure what they are putting in finally. So I want to be, I'm like literally a micromanager when it comes to anything with the Guru Nanda brand on it. I want to micromanage it. I actually till today sign off every document, every GCMS report of peppermint oil or any other ingredient that we put in one of our products. Every gc, every product is tested by me. I sign it off before it goes to a production hall. That is how stringent I am about the quality of what is going in the Guru Nanda brand. To me it is not about just a brand. To me it is about my family's trusted name attached to the brand. It is Guru Nanda. I am Puneet Nanda. It is my name on every product I sell. I want to make sure that my family's name that I'm attaching to your brand is always preserved, is always stands for integrity.
