Gum health goes beyond just dental issues—it’s an indicator of your body’s internal harmony. In Ayurveda, maintaining oral hygiene goes beyond just teeth brushing; it is a daily practice (Dinacharya) that aids digestion, boosts immunity, and promotes heart health. At Kairali, we regard oral care as an integral component of overall wellness.
The Ayurvedic View on Oral Health
In Ayurveda, the mouth is considered the gateway to the body. Imbalances in doshas—particularly Kapha and Pitta—can present as bleeding gums, unpleasant breath, or swelling.
Ayurvedic texts such as Ashtanga Hridaya advocate for daily mouth cleansing to enhance health and support longevity.
Traditional Ayurvedic Oral Care Practices
At Kairali, we incorporate time-tested practices such as:
- Gandusha (Oil Pulling): Swishing warm sesame or coconut oil helps remove toxins, reduce plaque, and strengthen gums.
- Dantadhavana (Herbal Brushing): Using herbal tooth powders made from neem, clove, or babool to gently cleanse teeth and gums.
- Jihwa Nirlekhan (Tongue Scraping): Removing buildup (ama) from the tongue to enhance taste and digestion.
Herbs for Stronger Gums
Our Ayurvedic therapists and doctors recommend specific herbs for maintaining gum health:
- Neem: Antibacterial and astringent
- Clove: Anti-inflammatory and analgesic
- Licorice (Yashtimadhu): Soothes sensitive tissues
- Triphala: Supports detoxification and oral flora balance
These herbs are often part of our therapies and formulations at the Healing Village and available through Kairali Products.
Oral Health & Overall Wellness
Did you know that gum disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and even hormonal imbalance? Ayurveda acknowledges these connections and treats the root cause, not just the symptom.
At Kairali, your wellness plan may include therapies like:
- Nasya for sinus and oral channel clearing
- Herbal teas to reduce Pitta and inflammation
- Diet recommendations to avoid aggravating toxins (ama)
