Pyorrhoea is a common disease of the gums which can happen to anyone. It affects the membrane surrounding the roots of the teeth. When food particles stagnate in the mouth, the bacteria feed on them and produce toxins which irritate the gums and the tissue inside the gum and inflame the membranes causing formation of pus and loosening of the teeth. The swollen gums become red and tender and very painful.
They bleed and begin to recede away from the teeth thus exposing the roots of the teeth. Eating becomes a painful task and the constant throbbing pain can even radiate to the jaws and ears. The bacteria also cause a foul breath which is very offensive and disgusting. This disease should be attended to promptly otherwise the gums can shrink to such an extent that the teeth may have to be ultimately extracted.
Onion is a very good remedy for treating pyorrhea. It contains powerful antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that can easily deal with the infection and heal the gums nicely.
Grate one big onion and squeeze the mass to extract the juice. Take a mouthful of the juice and swish it around your mouth for one minute before spitting it out. Repeat this, several times. Use this gargle three or four times during the day to get rid of the infection swiftly.
Grind some dried pomegranate rind to a fine powder. Also grind some alum to a fine powder and store them in separate airtight containers.
Take one teaspoon of the pomegranate rind powder and mix it with half a teaspoon of alum powder and half a teaspoon of rock salt. Rub your gums and teeth with this powder for five minutes three times daily. This is a very effective remedy for treating pyorrhoea.
Guava leaves, like the fruit, are very rich in antioxidants and have superb antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties which instantly address the infection and precipitate the healing process. Guava leaves also eliminate the pus and its stinking odor.
Wash a tender guava leaf and chew it slowly till you extract all its juice. Keep swishing the juice around the mouth for a few minutes before spitting out the whole. Do this after every meal until your gums are healed.
Neem has been used since centuries for curing all kinds of gum diseases and for keeping the gums and teeth in excellent health.
Take a neem twig and chew its end to flatten it into brush like bristles. Rub your teeth and gums with it for five minutes then rinse your mouth with water. Do this, twice daily to get rid of the infection as well as the pus and foul odor.
Take one teaspoon of mustard oil and add a good pinch of salt to it. Massage your gums and teeth with it for five minutes.
Mustard oil will not only destroy the infection causing bacteria but will also reduce the pain and swelling and will heal the gums rapidly.
