Promotes Oral Health
Oregano oil is a powerful antiseptic and antioxidant used for thousands of years to treat infections and inflammation. It has also effectively treated gum disease, bad breath, mouth ulcers, and even toothaches. The antibacterial properties of oregano oil make it very useful in treating a wide range of oral health problems. Rosmarinic acid and other phenylpropanoids in the oregano oil help inhibit the growth of bacteria in the mouth. This is especially useful for gum disease patients, as it helps reduce plaque buildup and prevent tooth decay.
The antioxidants found within oregano oil also help to kill off the harmful bacteria that cause cavities and other gum-related problems. In addition to killing bacteria in the mouth, oregano oil can also prevent the growth of bacteria that causes bad breath, which is why many people choose to use it as part of their daily oral hygiene routine.
To use oregano oil as a toothpaste, mix about one teaspoon of oregano oil with three drops of water until the mixture forms a paste; brush teeth, as usual, using this mixture instead of regular toothpaste.
