Customer reviews of Orinko

I have known siwak for more than 30 years, since I know Africa and India because it is the way to brush the teeth there. It is a very effective product because the Africans and Indians who use it have teeth bursting with whiteness. An American study conducted in 2003 concluded that the use of siwak is more effective than the use of a toothbrush. This solution of hygiene is ecological because the material is recyclable and especially, it is much healthier for the health than the chemical formulas harmful to the health that the industrial cosmetics offer us.

Item conforms to the description, arrived well protected, the 5 oriculis were all well in the packaging. Package arrived on the date planned. The seller sends an e-book by mail to explain how to use the oriculi and I find it topI would recommend without hesitation

Good quality products, I recommend it

These pearls are made of clay and micro-organisms that modify the structure of the limestone crystals and prevent them from redepositing.they are made in Japan and guaranteed for life.At home, the water is very hard, so I put some in my electric kettle but also in the carafes, and well indeed I find that the tap water tastes better since I put the pearls (I do not find this little taste of bleach)

The taste of chlorine and limestone bothers me in my consumption of tap water, I was looking for a viable solution ecologically.and these clay beads fulfill their function perfectly in a natural way so no more plastic bottles.I coupled them with a carbon and the taste of the water has really changed.On the bag of pearls you have the email address of the Orinko contact to receive the Ebook, the response is fast.very good value for money.if the comment was helpful to you thank you for voting it useful it's nice to know that we helped.

If you like tap water in a glass bottle, these beads are the perfect friend.they help purify.they can also be used for the kettle and the steamer. I love them! 25 of them can be used almost anywhere.

For a long time now, I have eliminated disposable plastic bottles from my daily life. In my region, the water is very hard, I used to use a carafe filter, but the design of the filters posed a problem: they are bulky, expensive, and above all... plastic + disposable! These ceramic beads allow a 100% ecological alternative to this practice. I received them in a small bag, without any explanation... How many to put in ? How to use them? I understand that customers receive explanations by email, which I did not get. So I did my personal research on the net, here is what I found: the pearls intervene directly on the structure of the water to make it purer. They are composed of a clay enriched with micro-organisms. The 80 strains they contain eliminate chlorine, limestone and most of the harmful residues contained in tap water. Then, they can be left permanently in a bottom of water by supplementing as one goes along. It is enough to wait 10 minutes before drinking the water.15 pearls should be placed in a carafe, in bulk or in a cotton bag.the ideal is to have two carafes, one being activated with the pearls while you consume the other.contrary to the charcoal filters of the carafes which store the residues, these pearls do not require any maintenance and their life expectancy is unlimited. These pearls thus make it possible to improve the taste and the quality of the tap water but in no case to make healthy a non-drinking water (of river for example).Compared to the solution of the carbon bamboos, I like the unlimited character in the time, thus more economic.The uses of the ceramic pearls are numerous:- to filter naturally your drinking water and your aquarium.- to descale the small household appliances: kettle, coffeepot, water-heater... To maintain daily and avoid the deposit of scale in your kettle, coffee pot or water heater, keep continuously 12 ceramic beads.preserve more durably the food as well as the bouquets of flowers.clean the toilets- reduce the cleaning products used in the washing machine and the dishwasher.Well, after all that, I am convinced, hyper convinced even.

I have been using Meswak toothpaste for years, which I discovered during a trip to India and which contains Siwak, but I had never used it directly as a chewing stick.6 sticks arrive in a small box, each one wrapped in individual plastic.I sent an email to the address noted on the packaging and I received a few hours later the instructions for use in PDF format with advice and information on the plant. Contrary to what I thought, it is not a piece of branch but the root of the Salvadora Persica shrub.when I opened it, the smell is quite surprising, even unpleasant and the stick is wet. I preferred to let it rest one day in the open air before using it.the aspect makes me think of the candy sticks that I give to my dog to clean his teeth... The use is rather simple. You can chew or cut the end of the stick on 1 cm. The small fibers of the tip are similar to a toothbrush. One passes them then under water, not need of toothpaste... You just have to use it like a toothbrush from top to bottom. The taste is slightly bitter and the stick tends to leave some small hairy residues in the mouth but I recognize that my teeth are smoother and less yellowed by my consumption of tea and coffee. But it will not replace my electric toothbrush (or manual) because it does not allow to clean between the teeth. I use it mainly in the evening (2 to 3 times/week) after my brushing for a better dental hygiene and also on the tongue. It is recommended to do it during 5 mn. Since I use it, I noticed that my teeth were whiter. I really like this ecological concept which allows me to use it at the office in all discretion for a better breath and dental hygiene.

Meets my expectations. Good packaging. I recommend

Perfect to put in the tank of my espresso machine to purify the water of the chlorine taste.it works well is the coffee to a better quality and taste.

This product meets my expectations. Very good quality/price ratio. I haven't tested it personally but my kids use it and like it. I recommend this product.

Item as described, easy to use

perfect when I can't use a toothbrush, these sticks are really good. reusable and organic.

these activated carbon sticks fit perfectly in a bottle thanks to their elongated format.they play perfectly their roles of filters for the water and allows to bring a neutral taste to an average water.I use them every day and we feel the difference.

I do not know this plant Siwak, and I discover here! 6 sticks are individually vacuum packed, and it is indeed a plant. You chew to get the fiber out, and you brush with it. It is difficult to reach the bottom of the teeth inside, but where we arrive it cleans well and there is a taste a little minty very subtle and pleasant feeling in the mouth. It is a good initiative to think about the planet and the natural health!

Eliminating little by little everything disposable, I turned to the oriculi to finish with the cotton buds. This product is easy to use, economical and ecological. The products arrived in good condition, despite the fact that they were sent in a slightly reinforced zipped pocket. A small flat bamboo case would have been nice, especially if you need to carry them, but the zippered pocket will also do the job. I chose this brand because it participates in the fight against deforestation in the Amazon, so it's an extra gesture in favor of the environment. I recommend this product.

Very good product, the tap water where I live is full of limestone. When I fill a glass of water, there is like a persistent fog. After I put the stones in, it disappeared. I don't have the taste of chlorine?

The siwak or "araq wood" is the root of the shrub salvadora persica used as a natural toothbrush, the siwak has purifying properties recognized, it cleans the mouth and helps to take care of the gums.It's quite particular I must say, it reminded me a bit of potato when rubbing against the teeth and gums and even the tongue.Anyway, it's not unpleasant and it smooths the teeth well, it's a good alternative between 2 brushings or as a complement.I like the concept very much, and I saw that with siwak powder, we can make our own toothpaste.It cleans teeth on pivots or braces just as well.

I am delighted with this purchase, a pdf document is sent to better know the product, learn to use it properly and take care of it. The product is as expected, used correctly there is no reason for it not to last over time. One more step towards waste reduction.

As a child, I didn't learn to clean my tongue in addition to my teeth when I brushed. I discovered as an adult that it's important for breath too.these tongue scrapers are simple and well designed.they are easy to use and effective.

I just gave my filter cartridges to my neighbor, now my water carafes that it is Brita or others (I have several) I will put only these ceramic beads to purify tap water, these filters were polluting and expensive, now these ceramic beads replace them advantageously.I didn't buy plastic bottles for several years, but I still had my Brita style filtered water carafes, there finish.... that pure and non-polluting water.especially that the water is as good as mineral water after putting a ceramic bead in the carafe.and I use them for my steam appliances: coffee maker, iron steam washing.

These siwak sticks to be used for teeth cleaning are quite a discovery. In a cardboard box, we have 6 sticks of about 15 cm vacuum packed. The objective is to use a natural material to remove the use of plastic toothbrushes, toothpaste and the waste that can go with it. It is a dental wood obtained from the root of the Salvadora persica shrub. Before brushing, it is necessary to remove the bark on 1cm then to fray the root. Brushing is done without toothpaste by passing the threads on the teeth and chewing the stick. It is just necessary to be soft with the approach of the gums but the wood is flexible and soft. After a few minutes, while doing something else at a desk for example, the surface of the teeth becomes smooth, the breath clear with a very light taste between mint and licorice. The hardest part is to pass in the interstices of the teeth.despite that, in the end, you really have the impression to have washed your teeth!

I was afraid that the taste would bother me but nn cava .merci.tres satisfied with the packaging

I am very satisfied with the qualities of this virtuous product

Easy to use and very good quality, a nice gesture for the environment, I highly recommend

an excellent alternative to the cotton swab,I did not know and it is a pity,material which requires a certain learning for auricular care otherwise.the material is moreover aesthetic and pleasant.the EBOOK joined to the purchase by the salesman is very useful and is an excellent attention of the salesman.I recommend this durable product.thank you

Neutralize the taste of tap water, easy to use. To be seen in time, less pronounced taste but still there unfortunately.

Nice and efficient product. Small guide of use provided with the oriculis for an adapted use. I recommend

5 oriculi sent with each one a color. One for each member of the family, it is practical, hygienic, ecological and efficient. Very good contact with the seller. I received a small pdf that explains very well how to optimize the use of the oriculi. I am delighted and I recommend it.

I was not a big fan of rubbing my tongue with a normal toothbrush and I did not know this type of product.I am really satisfied with the product and its functioning, I never really had a sensation of clean tongue and since then, it is perfect.Ok rubs 2/3 times on the tongue in the external direction of the mouth and you just have to rinse it (before and after use).in the morning, I have less the sensation of a pasty mouth and during the day, I have better sensation to the tastes.I price is very correct for 3 utensils to make it benefit to its family.

3 copper tongue scrapers, easy to use, specially designed to offer you a simple device for a better tongue hygiene.

Very happy with this purchase

Much better than the plastic one in terms of durability and hygiene! No metal taste and rounded just right and doesn't hurt. In addition it is a very good price for a set of 3! However, I did not receive the guide (ebook) by mail. Should we do something on our side?

A little confusing when we receive the product, but we received by mail an ebook that explains very clearly the use. The design of the product is very nice.

I like the fact that they are sticks which makes it easy to put them in a carafea big thank you for the e-book because even if I know the use of this product that I bought in organic store it is very well done and very clearI recommend

I've been looking for some time to stop using the classic cotton swabs for something more natural and long lasting. I'm so glad I bought these Oriculis!

At the top for quality water at a lower cost.

I didn't see where to go for the ebook. I went to the supplier's site for information: use in the morning, clean with soapy water and occasionally with vinegar to prevent rust.

10 sticks of 16 cm bamboo activated carbon stored in a cardboard box and well protected.these bamboo activated carbon sticks are a good compromise to filter tap water naturally. Not only do these sticks filter chemicals such as benzene, chlorine, nitrate. .... but they also provide tap water with calcium, potassium, magnesium. ...The use is easy. One stick is enough to purify a bottle of water and can be used for about 2 months.before the first use, and after 2 or 4 weeks of use, it is necessary to boil the activated carbon stick for 10 minutes. It is enough then to place it in a bottle filled with drinking water of the tap and to wait 1 hour minimum and 4 hours it is better to be able to drink it.the - the origin of the bamboos is not specified. We only know that the bamboo comes from a family forest managed in a responsible way.1% of the sales is donated to a reforestation program.top for drinking water but also great for filtering the water of fish in an aquarium.

I bought it to purify my tap water, very practical, to be placed directly in the water carafe. The little extra, an e-book provided.
