Mouthwashes are an inseparable part of oral hygiene. However, store-bought mouthwashes may not suit all as they often have a strong taste and odor. This is where homemade mouthwashes come into the light.

DIY natural mouthwashes are as effective in eliminating meal odor as store-bought ones. Moreover, they are cost-effective, chemical-free, may not sting, and help maintain oral hygiene. It is easy to prepare mouthwashes at home. If you frequently use mouthwashes, switching to a natural product is best. Read on to learn how to prepare natural mouthwashes at home and how they may work.

The benefits of including a mouthwash in your oral hygiene regimen are :

Makes other oral regimens like flossing and brushing more effective
Decreases oral cavities
Strengthens your teeth and gums (in the presence of fluoride)
Freshens your breath
Prevents plaque build-up
Loosens any debris inside your mouth (when used before brushing)
Helps treat mouth sores

Baking Soda

½ teaspoon of baking soda or sodium bicarbonate
½ glass of warm water

What You Have To Do

Add half a teaspoon of table salt to half a glass of warm water.
Mix well and rinse your mouth after or before brushing your teeth.

Why This Works

Baking soda is a great fix for bad breath and oral bacteria. Its alkaline nature can increase salivary pH. This can help neutralize the acids produced by oral bacteria upon consumption of soda drinks and caffeine.

Coconut Oil

1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil

What You Have To Do

Swish a tablespoon of virgin coconut oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes.
Spit the oil and go about your oral care routine.

Why This Works

Oil pulling with coconut oil is not only good for your oral hygiene but is also a great way to detoxify your body. It can help in decreasing plaque formation as well as plaque-induced gingivitis

Brymo Queries Tiwa Savage Over "Men Are Crazy" Song | Fab.ng

Singer Brymo sparked a debate online after leaving a comment on the latest Instagram post by Tiwa Savage. Tiwa had shared a glamorous photo with the flirty caption, “You’re in my head, Papi.” However, Brymo shifted the focus by commenting on her recent collaboration with Simi, “Men Are Crazy.”

Brymo took issue with the song’s title and lyrics, specifically the line “Men Are Crazy.” He argued that male musicians rarely write songs generalising women in such a way. Brymo’s comment questioned Tiwa’s motivations behind the song’s theme and lyrics. This sparked discussion and debate among fans about the portrayal of gender in music.

He commented, “Hey @tiwasavage. I’d like to know the thoughts behind the … “men are c***y” line…. because it’s the one crazy” thing boys say most in private spaces about your gender, and none of us ever made a song exclusively about how deranged y’all are… Yet you did with Simi, and you are the first of both that I am seeing post from since then… So I ask; did you play reverse psychology on us and make the song a projection? and gaslighting the shit out of me by that??? …. or have real reasons to say so?? and if it be the latter, expand it for me, please!!”

Tiwa Savage and Simi haven’t responded to the comment Brymo left so far.

This all comes just after they released their new song together, “Men Are Crazy,” on April 5, 2024. It’s the first time these two popular singers have collaborated on a song.

Tunde Onakoya To Break 58 Hours Of Chess Marathon | fab.ng

Nigerian chess champion Tunde Onakoya is trying to break the world record for the longest chess marathon! The record he is set to break is 58 hours.

Tunde Onakoya has already been playing in the chess marathon for approximately 44 hours straight. This is at the time of this writing. Starting on April 17th and going until April 19th, the event is happening in the famous Times Square in New York City.

A post shared by Tunde Onakoya (@tunde_onakoya)

So far, Onakoya has beaten everyone he’s played, including a really good chess player from New York named Shawn Martinez.

Onakoya’s manager, Taiwo, says the official rules allow for 5-minute breaks every hour. But Onakoya only took a total of 30 minutes of rest after playing 12 people in a row for 15 hours! That’s intense! He said he’s playing two sets of games at the same time, and he can’t lose any of them to win the record.

He wrote,

“The opponent on the first set is Shawn Martinez, a US National Chess Master, and he will play with Tunde throughout the attempt.

“Opponents in the second set are random players. He can’t lose any game on either set.

“Only Tunde’s match against Shawn Martinez is considered valid for the record. He is not competing in his simultaneous play against random opponents in the second set. NYC, come out and play regardless.”

Brymo Offers To Help Burna Boy If He Asks Respectfully

Brymo Offers To Help Burna Boy If He Asks Respectfully | Fab.ng

Nigerian music fans, hold onto your hats! The clash of the titans between Afrobeat stars Brymo and Burna Boy is back for another round on social media.

Brymo launches an offensive attack

The drama unfolded when Brymo took to his Instagram story with a scathing critique of Burna Boy. He essentially claimed his musical talent reigns supreme and that Burna Boy would be better off venturing outside the pop music scene.

The insults didn’t stop there; Brymo even went in on Burna Boy’s vocals, implying a lack of singing ability.

The plot thickened when Brymo took an unexpected turn, suggesting a rather inflated perception of himself. He alluded to being a superior musical entity, and that this self-proclaimed status is the reason why Burna Boy, despite his massive achievements, can’t seem to detach himself from Brymo.

Help with strings attached?

Brymo ended his online tirade with a curious proposition. He offered to assist Burna Boy, but with one key condition: Burna Boy must ask respectfully. This public display of “helpfulness” casts doubt on Brymo’s sincerity, hinting at a potential ulterior motive for the offer.

Burna Boy started the fire

For some context, it’s important to remember that Burna Boy ignited this whole social media firestorm in the first place.

He previously used his Instagram story to diss Brymo’s folk music style, comparing it to singing proverbs in Yoruba and suggesting it lacked the depth and energy of established Fuji legends.

The social media feud rages on

While Brymo maintains he won’t stoop to mentioning Burna Boy directly in his music, his online activity paints a different picture. By tagging Burna Boy and posting pointed critiques, Brymo seems to be actively participating in an online brawl.

This back-and-forth exchange suggests neither musician is ready to let this social media beef simmer down. Their fans, on the other hand, might be left wondering if this is a publicity stunt or a genuine musical rivalry reignited.
