A safe, gentle and effective mouth freshening combination that supports the health of your gums and teeth without drying out your mouth and stripping it of good bacteria.
Most mouthwash contains alcohol which is too drying for your oral mucosa and can exacerbate many oral conditions. This blend of herbs can be used to make a strong infusion with hot water (like making a cup of tea only less water and more herbs to make it stronger and leave to infuse for 15 mins or more). It is less convenient than a conventional mouthwash but once you’ve made the infusion you can keep in the fridge for a couple of days.
The herbs I included are:
Sage – Salvia officinalis – there is solid evidence that sage is highly anti bacterial and active against the caries causing bacteria Streptococcus mutans in dental plaque.
Peppermint – Mentha piperita – helps to numb the pain of sensitive teeth and is also highly anti bacterial and anti viral
Spearmint – Mentha spicata – tastes wonderful and has similar properties to the peppermint.
Thyme – Thymus vulgaris – highly anti inflammatory and very useful to treat pyorrhea or gingivitis. Contains thymol which has great antiseptic powers and can relieve canker sore pain and eliminate halitosis causing bacteria.
Rosemary – Salvia rosmarinus – again a powerful antimicrobial and also anti fungal and anti oxidant.
30g in compostable package.
