Cloves
are an effective natural remedy for mouth infections and toothache. The
benefits of cloves stem from the concentration of eugenol, a substance with
antiseptic, disinfectant and analgesic properties.
A
study published in the « Journal of Ethnopharmacology » showed
that clove extracts have activity against various bacterial strains, including
caries and gingivitis. Another study, published in the « Journal of
Dentistry », examined the effectiveness of cloves in relieving dental
pain. The results showed that cloves have a rapid and effective analgesic
effect, effectively relieving toothache. This is attributed to the presence of
eugenol, a major bioactive compound in cloves, which acts as a local anaesthetic.
Use
for teeth
To
relieve toothache and irritated gums, lightly crush a clove and place it on the
painful area. For regular oral hygiene, you can prepare your own mouthwash by
infusing 5 or 6 cloves in a cup of boiling water. This solution helps to
disinfect the oral cavity and freshen breath.
Recipe:
Place between 3 and 8 cloves in a cup. Pour boiling water over them. Leave to
infuse for 10 minutes. Remove the cloves and add a spoonful of liquid honey or
a pinch of cinnamon to sweeten the mixture. Leave to cool, strain and drink.
