Luckily, there is a plant that could eliminate fluoride from your water, the Tulsi plant [which you can find here].
Researchers from out of Rajasthan University found this incredible discovery. Even though we do have expensive options for water purification, but not all of us can afford to purchase them.
So, this all-natural method will not break your bank and is very effective and safe to use.
Researchers soaked 75 mg (2.6 oz) of holy basil leaves in 100 ml (3.3 oz) of water that had around 7.4 ppm of fluoride.
After the leaves have soaked in the water for 8 hours, it was found that fluoride levels dropped to 1.1 ppm. Even the World health Organization is recognizing that the amount of fluoride deemed safe is around 0.5 to 1 ppm.
