HERBAL MOUTHWASH: AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH

The objective of this study was to develop Mouthwash formulations. A mouthwash could also be recommended as an antimicrobial, a topical anti-inflammatory agent a topical analgesic, or for caries prevention. Almost all conventional mouth freshners contain alcohol and fluoride, which are toxic (even lethal) if swallowed in large amounts. This is often not the case with natural herbal mouth rinses. Mouth rinse comes into direct contact with mucous membrane and can be absorbed directly into your bloodstream. Natural Plants such as Clove, Peppermint, Ajwain, Green tea, Neem, Tulsi, and Guava Leaf are used in preparation of herbal mouthwash. Mouthwash freshens bad breath, can help reduce plaque and gingivitis, as well as fight tooth decay and prevent cavities. Mouthwash can really help improve your oral health. It can help to freshen your breath, remove plaque and reduce your risk of cavities and gum disease. For help deciding whether to use mouthwash before or after brushing, talk to your dentist.
