13 Home Remedies For Swollen Gums: How To Get Rid Of It

Thyme Oil

Thyme is an herbal plant that has many health benefits. It has anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial properties that help reduce inflammation and prevent gingivitis or swelling in the gums. In addition, the anti-inflammatory properties of thyme may help alleviate pain and stop swelling. 

To make thyme oil, these are the steps: First, pick a handful of fresh thyme, wash, and pat dry to produce thyme oil. Crush the herb using a mortar and pestle. Once the leaves have been pulverized, and the natural oils have been liberated, combine them with 1 cup of another essential oil (such as olive oil or coconut oil) in a skillet over medium heat. Then, heat the mixture for 5 minutes or until bubbles emerge. When the mixture has cooled, keep it in a secure container and store it in a fridge. To use clove oil as a mouthwash, add 2 drops to water and then gargle it thoroughly.
