The internet is full of many interesting anecdotes of herbal products and these should be investigated. Even though these products probably could not be patented customers would be willing to buy factory-packaged versions that are guaranteed safe. One such product is a nightly gum pack made from herbs rolled in gauze (turmeric, aloe, willow bark, vitamin E, and powdered alum), that are tucked into the corners of your mouth to treat gum disease. Another such product is natural twig brushes (or toothpicks) made of bay, eucalyptus, oak, fir, juniper, neem, or roots of marshmallow, licorice, alfalfa, or horseradish.
