Why do person with periodontal disease should not use Mouthwash?

Question

the bottle instruction says so... can anyone tell?

Answer 1

I have it and have never heard that before. Never really read the back of the bottle either.

Herbs that may be helpful: Herbs that may help treat gingivitis include chamomile, echinacea, green tea, peppermint, sage, clove, and myrrh. A mouthwash combination that includes sage oil, peppermint oil, mint oil, menthol, chamomile tincture, expressed juice from Echinacea purpurea, myrrh tincture, clove oil, and caraway oil, has been used successfully to treat gingivitis.7 In cases of acute gum inflammation, 0.5 ml of the herbal mixture in half a glass of water three times daily can be used. Rinse slowly in the mouth before spitting out. For daily hygiene, use slightly less of the mixture in half a glass of water and repeat only one or two times daily.

A toothpaste containing sage oil, peppermint oil, chamomile tincture, expressed juice from Echinacea purpurea, myrrh tincture, and rhatany tincture has been used to accompany this mouthwash in managing gingivitis.8

Of the many herbs listed above, chamomile, echinacea, and myrrh should be priorities, if only a few are to be used. These three herbs can provide anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions critical to successfully treating gingivitis.
