When it comes to using neem datun, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Chewing on a neem twig for oral hygiene is an ancient practice that aligns with Ayurvedic principles. The main question you've asked is quite common regarding whether to spit or swallow the juice that comes out while you're chewing it.
Typically, you'd want to spit out the neem juice rather than swallow it. Neem has quite a bitter taste and its strong detoxifying properties can be overwhelming for some, especially if consumed in excess. The essential oils in the neem are antiseptic and cleansing, particularly beneficial for oral health, can be a bit harsh on the digestive system if ingested. However, a small amount accidentally swallowed usually isn't harmful for most healthy people, but it's still better to err on the side of caution.
When you use neem datun:
1. **Preparing the twig**: First, you peel off a small part of the bark from one end of the twig. You would then chew the exposed end until you unravel the fibers like a brush.
2. **Application**: Once you have this natural "toothbrush", move it gently over your teeth and gums. The chewing process releases neem oils that help in cleaning and maintaining oral health.
3. **Post-chewing**: Spit out the juice naturally generated as you chew the twig. Though neem juice has benefits, direct consumption isn't generally recommended due to its potent nature.
Remember, neem datun is generally recommended to be used early in the morning. And always ensure you have fresh, pesticide-free neem twigs if you're sourcing them personally. If you have any specific conditions or take medications, it's advised to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
