Description

• Special litmus paper (4.5 – 7.5pH) is available on this site for testing saliva.
• This paper measures the acid / alkaline state of saliva and urine only, not water or other fluids.
• The ideal time to test is first thing in the morning before eating, drinking, or brushing teeth.
• Tear off a 3cm strip of paper.
• Gather some saliva in your mouth.
• Drop some saliva from your tongue onto the paper to moisten it.
• Wait approximately 1 minute.
• Compare the colour of the wet paper to the pH scale on the front of the dispenser or the side of the box. Record your readings.
• The pH scale on your OCEANMILK® pH Litmus dispenser is marked from 4.5 to 7.5 Any number below 7 means that the sample you are testing is on the acid side. Above 7 is alkaline.
• The lower the number, the more acidic the pH reading is. Seven indicates a neutral state. Therefore, neither acid nor alkaline.
• Saliva readings should ideally be 7.5pH indicating healthy, slightly alkaline extracellular fluids.
