Introduction
Gum bleeding is often only an acute problem. The cause may be bacteria, but the disease is not yet so well established that strong medication is needed. Therefore the following home remedies help to fight the disease at home.
However, if the bleeding gums do not recover within the next 2 days, you should see a dentist, as bigger problems may be the cause. Many medicinal herbs and home remedies contain oils. Oils are long chain fatty acids and can bind well to bacteria.
That is why essential oils all fight pathogens such as fungi, viruses and bacteria. Their activity is more or less strong. That is why some oils are more suitable for fighting gum inflammation with bleeding gums.
Sage tea
Sage tea has a disinfecting effect. Sage tea contains tannins and bitter substances that are released during infusion. Tanning agents have a strengthening effect on the mucous membranes and compress the surface, making it more difficult for germs to enter the gums.
The essential oils of sage contain substances such as cineol and camphene. They kill germs and are therefore anti-inflammatory. Sage is known for its astringent effect.
This means that the gums contract and therefore bleed less. Sage also relieves stress, which can be a reason for gum bleeding. Sage tea also relieves pain in the neck area. If the throat is germ-free, this is a good prerequisite for fighting other bacteria in the oral cavity. Otherwise, it is easy for bacteria to migrate from the neck to the mouth area and attack the gums there.
Camomile tea
The advantage of chamomile tea is that it is both antibacterial and antiviral. Only bacteria are involved in inflammation. However, if there is also an infection by viruses, chamomile tea gives the body more power to fight the bacteria that cause bleeding gums.
Camomile is also considered to be immunostimulant and thus supports the fight. Ingredients slow down the growth of bacteria and fungi. Some substances from chamomile accelerate wound healing.
Since gums have thousands of small cracks through which they bleed when they bleed, it is beneficial if these can be closed by chamomile. This is mainly due to the mucilage. Since camomile tea contains only a small percentage of these healing substances, the effect is not as strong. Leg stronger gum bleeding, helps for example Propar, a concentrate of bee putty resin, arnica and chamomile extracts.
