Remember all pharmaceutical medicine is derived from herbs
that The FATHER has already supplied freely.

Pharmaceutical method of medicine is to enslave you
and convince you that you do not have the ability to heal yourselves.

The tares have sought to poison or defile every good thing
The FATHER has supplied from thoughts to chemicals.

They cause the chaos and then offer up their peace,
but their peace is a piece of deception.

Herb #1 — Myrrh
This is my go-to for teeth and gums.

When toothache strikes, a little myrrh tincture
placed on the tooth relieves pain in less than a minute.

It also heals and tightens gums, cures bleeding gums,
and fights bacteria that would otherwise cause gum disease
and tooth decay. I use it daily as a preventative.

Herb #2 — Neem
Traditionally, sticks of neem were used as a natural toothbrush
due to its strong antibacterial properties.

Even today, it’s regaining popularity.

Modern research attests its ability to reduce plaque,
prevent cavities and gum disease, and freshen breath.

You can easily add powdered neem to your usual toothpaste.
And remember, the bark is more potent than the leaf.

Herb #3 — Echinacea
No, echinacea isn’t just a cold-fighting herb!

It also reduces inflammation, boosts the immune system,
and helps fight infection in the mouth.

Herb #4 — Goldenseal
This herb is especially helpful for healing gums.

It’s antibiotic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory.

Herb #5 — Oregon Grape Root
Antimicrobial and an astringent, Oregon grape root
also soothes and tightens swollen gums.

Herb #6 — Propolis
Although you don’t want to use this if you have a bee allergy,
propolis is an excellent antimicrobial herb for mouth infections
and keeping disease at bay.

10 Herbs For Healthy Teeth & Gums + Make Your Own Natural Mouthwash

We all want healthy teeth and gums.

But sometimes we brush, we floss, we eat healthy foods,
and it still isn't enough. Maybe you just want a whiter, brighter smile,
but want to avoid the ingredients in conventional products.

Herb #7 — Plantain
You probably already have this herb growing in your yard!

It heals wounds and draws out infections
(for more information, check out this post).

Just pop some leaves in a jar, cover with vodka,
and let sit for 6 weeks to create your own plantain tincture.

Herb #8 — Sage
This is another commonly found herb that’s also a natural astringent.

It tightens gums and calms a sore mouth.

Herb #9 — White Oak Bark
This herb soothes and reduces swelling.

Herb #10 — Peppermint
Of course, any list of herbs for dental health wouldn’t be complete without peppermint! It freshens breath and may help to whiten teeth, too!

Make Your Own Natural Mouthwash!

You can combine any of your favorite herbal tinctures
into a natural, healing mouthwash!

If you don’t want to make your own tinctures
(see instructions here and here),
you can easily buy some ready-made, too.

This is my favorite blend of healing herbal tinctures:
myrrh tincture
echinacea tincture
goldenseal tincture
propolis tincture
plantain tincture
If using more than 1 tincture, combine a small amount
of each into a bottle with a dropper.

When you’re ready to use, fill a glass with about a mouthful of water.

Add 20 to 30 drops of your natural mouthwash to the water.

(If you are dealing with an infection or gum disease,
you may wish to make your mouthwash stronger.)

Swish around your mouth and then spit it out.

I should note that these herbs were not chosen based on taste!

This makes a strong, herby-tasting mouthwash.

If you like a minty-fresh mouth, definitely experiment
with adding peppermint to your mix.
