The trust on Ayurveda: What users say about Dant Kanti toothpaste
In an age of chemically laden personal products and artificial ingredients, humans are going back to
Ayurveda
, nature's ancient present to the realm of holistic wellness. Among such Ayurveda-based products is Patanjali's Dant Kanti toothpaste.
Based on herbal extracts of neem, clove, babool, and mint, Dant Kanti promises not just oral health but dental well-being in the long run on the basis of natural care.
But how is it in real life? Here's what five regular users have to say about their experience with Dant Kanti.
Asha Negi, 34, Noida
Asha, a working mother, had been experiencing bleeding gums and sensitivity for long. She tried numerous toothpaste brands to no avail before she changed to Dant Kanti on a friend's recommendation. "After a week, the bleeding has reduced and my gums feel firmer.
There is no discomfort when brushing. Although the taste takes sometime to get used to."
Ramesh, 52, Delhi
Dant Kanti was a return to the Ayurvedic ways of his childhood for Ramesh. "I used herbal powders and neem sticks in my childhood, but like all of us, I shifted to branded ones later. Dant Kanti reminded me how simple and efficient nature's care is. My plaque has reduced, and my mouth is fresh for a longer period. It's become a home favourite."

Priyanshi, 23, Noida
Priyanshi experienced strong sensitivity to hot and cold food, which plagued her on a daily basis. "I wasn't optimistic when I bought Dant Kanti, but the sensitivity reduced within ten days. I prefer it because it has natural ingredients without too many chemicals."
Heera, 48, Delhi
Mrs. Sharma had tried different brands of toothpaste and was typically disappointed with their fleeting benefits. 'Most pastes give the feel of good brushing but do nothing long term.
In Dant Kanti, I felt cleaner teeth and fresh breath even after meals. It eased small aches and swelling too.'
Radhika Kumari, 42, Delhi
Radhika, looking for a gentle remedy following dental surgery, discovered that Dant Kanti was the ideal solution for her. "I needed something mild yet effective, and Dant Kanti turned out to be the best. It did not cause any irritation to my teeth or gums and even curbed bad breath. It is great to see Ayurveda being helpful generation after generation."
What's the hubbub about Dant Kanti?
The mounting faith in Dant Kanti is part of a larger movement towards Ayurveda-based daily care. It's not just about tooth brushing; it's about creating oral health naturally, consistently, and without harmful side effects. With positive consumer comments from individuals of all ages and lifestyles, it's clear that Dant Kanti is not just a toothpaste; it's a move towards responsible, effective wellness.

UnitedHealth may sell Latin America arm for $1bn to refocus on US: Report
UnitedHealth Group is weighing multiple bids for its Latin American operations, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter, as the insurer buckles down after a series of unprecedented missteps that include the ouster of its CEO and a reported criminal accounting probe. The largest US health insurer has been trying to exit Latin America since 2022, but the sale of Banmedica has taken on increasing urgency in recent months as the insurer took hits on multiple fronts, according to one of the people. New CEO Steve Hemsley told shareholders last week that he was determined to earn back their trust after an earnings miss and a Wall Street Journal report that the company was under criminal investigation for alleged Medicare fraud. UnitedHealth has said it was not notified by the Department of Justice and that it stands by the integrity of its operations. Hemsley replaced Andrew Witty just a few months after the murder of the executive Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in New York in December while on his way to a meeting with investors. Witty had been UnitedHealth Group CEO since 2021. The company has four non-binding bids for its Banmedica subsidiary, which operates in Colombia and Chile, for about $1 billion, according to both people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. UnitedHealth's shares tumbled 25.5 per cent in May alone, and year-to-date are down 40 per cent. UnitedHealth left Brazil in 2023 and Peru in March. It's aiming to get around $1 billion for Banmedica's operations in Colombia and Chile, the people said. The two people said the company expects to set a deadline for binding proposals as soon as July. UnitedHealth received bids from: Acon Investments (Washington, D.C.-based private equity firm) Patria Investments (São Paulo-based private equity firm) Christus Health (Texas non-profit health firm) Auna (Lima-based healthcare and insurance provider, in talks with a financial partner) Banmedica's annual earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) is more than $200 million a year. Patria and Christus Health declined to comment. UnitedHealth, Acon, and Auna did not respond to requests for comment. UnitedHealth bought Banmedica in 2018, with then-CEO David Wichmann saying he was 'establishing a foundation for growth in South America for the next decades.' At the time, UnitedHealth paid around 12 times Banmedica's EBITDA, according to one of the people. Three years later, the insurer decided to leave Latin America as it grappled with losses in its largest operation in the region, Brazil's Amil, which had been acquired a decade earlier. It divested from its Brazilian operations in late 2023. Banmedica is currently profitable but is considered too small by UnitedHealth. It serves over 2.1 million consumers through its health insurance programs and handles around 4 million patient visits annually across its network of 13 hospitals and 143 medical centres. UnitedHealth booked an $8.3 billion loss last year related to the sale of its South American operations — $7.1 billion stemming from the Brazil exit and $1.2 billion from Banmedica. 'These losses relate to our strategic exit of South American markets and include significant losses related to foreign currency translation effects,' the company said in a February filing. Brazilian investment bank BTG Pactual is advising UnitedHealth on the sale.
