About

Dr. Christian W. Hahn

    Dr. Christian W. Hahn, a respected general and cosmetic dentist, formulated TheraSalt and XyloSalt through the close observation of a select group of patients – ocean surfers. Dr. Hahn began to notice a trend in the health of his patients’ gums. One group had healthy gum tissue, the other less healthy gums, yet each had the same average oral hygiene habits. The difference? Those who spent significant time in ocean salt water (about once per day) had remarkably healthier gum tissue than normal. And so the notion of a therapeutic mouth rinse was born. Dr. Hahn’s observations are supported by centuries of usage of ocean salt as a therapeutic healing remedy.

    Dr. Hahn created a potent healing aid that would deliver the concentration and composition of pure ocean water, enhanced with powerful natural antibacterial agents and free of the contaminants unfortunately found in our waters today. Unlike ordinary table salt, natural ocean salt contains dozens of essential minerals and trace elements. No synthetic mineral supplement can equal the wealth of minerals natural ocean salt supplies. The living cells that make up our body are literally composed of a solution almost identical to ocean salt water. Many mysteries still exist within ocean salt and why it works so well to help heal tissue. What we do know is that natural ocean salt water works wonders to improve gum tissue and help heal wounds.

    Xylitol, a substance similar in taste to sugar, is produced by our own bodies as well as birch trees.  It kills bacteria yet is healthy for us.  Xylitol has been recognized as one of the best ways to prevent tooth decay and now is used in everything from cooking to sinus sprays!
