Herbal Remedies
Calendula and echinacea soothe sore gums and reduce inflammation. For gums, make a strong infusion and swish it in the mouth for several minutes. You can either spit it out or swallow it.
A couple of drops of lavender oil is also good at clearing up Candida albicans, as well as reducing inflammation and healing sores. Infected gums are successfully treated with goldenseal or Oregon grape too. Their berberine content gives them antimicrobial effects.
Rosemary helps heal canker sores and has antiseptic properties.
Parsley is a natural breath sweetener, nibble this herb after your meal.
Licorice sweetens breath, too, and is frequently used to flavor and sweeten herbal toothpaste and mouthwashes.
Fennel has a similar action and will also help if you have gas.
Oil of cloves is good to have on hand for toothaches or teething. Rub a little on the gums.
