Discover age-old Ayurvedic and Unani remedies to naturally strengthen your gums. From turmeric paste and clove oil to herbal twigs and alum rinses, this article explores holistic methods to fight...
Bleeding gums, weak grip on teeth, and oral inflammation are not just minor annoyances—they're early signs of deeper gum issues that affect long-term dental health. While modern products may offer quick relief, traditional Indian medicine offers time-tested, holistic solutions that not only treat the symptoms but help prevent them in the first place.
For generations, Indian households have turned to Ayurvedic and Unani remedies for gum health. With their powerful, natural ingredients and science-backed efficacy, these solutions offer an effective, safe, and long-term approach. In this article, we explore these remedies and introduce a time-tested herbal solution: Farooky Tooth Powder.
Gum problems usually start with plaque buildup. If not removed, this sticky layer of bacteria leads to inflammation (gingivitis), bleeding, and eventually more serious conditions like periodontitis.
Common causes of weak or bleeding gums:
Poor oral hygiene
Hard brushing
Nutritional deficiencies (especially Vitamin C)
Hormonal changes or chronic conditions
Smoking or alcohol use
These are best managed not just by treating the symptoms, but by strengthening gum tissue, reducing bacteria, and maintaining daily care.
In Ayurveda, gum problems like bleeding and swelling are related to an imbalance in Pitta and Vata doshas. The treatment involves using astringents, cooling herbs, and anti-inflammatory plant extracts to pacify these doshas.
Unani medicine, on the other hand, emphasizes restoring mizaj (temperament) and using herbal extracts to remove harmful substances and strengthen oral tissue.
Both systems promote preventive care through natural ingredients that support daily oral hygiene.
Traditionally used to reduce swelling and disinfect the mouth.
