Oral Health Benefits
Research indicates that a mouthwash formulated with natural ingredients such as cloves, basil, and tea tree oil may possess the ability to reduce the presence of oral bacteria. These bacteria are known to contribute to the formation of dental plaque, cavities, and gum disease. The study suggests that this herbal mouthwash could potentially help maintain oral hygiene and combat these common dental issues.
Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties
Cloves contain the compound eugenol, which has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation in the body.
Cloves are rich in antioxidants like eugenol that might help fight free radicals and oxidative stress, which can damage cells and contribute to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
