Mouth Wash vs Warm Salt Water - Page 5

Probably the only difference is price. Salt is salt no matter where it comes from. The only thing that alters it is what they put in after they get it such as iodine. Just normal table salt should do the trick if you're using it as a mouthwash.

I use both. I like the taste of mouthwash. But if I have a problem such as an infection I will use warm salt water. It works great at canker sores.

Title: Saline water and gums

Comments: I was not able to eat for many days. Every evening my gums would swell so I could not chew. Sleep, brushing teeth and sloshing warm water in the mouth, mouthwash helped but the problem persisted. I was on the verge of seeing a doctor and subject.myself to the rigmarole of designer anti-biotics and vitamin C.
Yesterday, I recalled my days of yoga and nasal flushing with saline water. I tried this flush in the.mouth. Relief! on the spot benefit. The pain drained away. I should have thought of the anti bacterial action of salt. I had stuck myself in the warm water remedy. Fool... Should have mixed it with warm water.
I will now do it all over my body in areas prone to infection.
Cheers to research on oneself. Down with doctors.

I used to work for a herbalist, who told me that you should always use salt water, to rinse, it apparently clears infections, preserves your gums and is supposed to be healthier all round. She did also say that you should use it to swill up your nostrils if used for a long time it hardens, and helps prevent coughs and colds... I haven't tried either pieces of advice, it just doesn't sound that great to me

She knows what she is talking about and I added my input in a new Topic to keep this one on the Mouth: Neti Pots, Saline Nasal Rinse & Colds

I actually learned about this first from a Dentist from Nigeria but had ignored it. I then later was told about it again by a Professor of Dentistry and then tried it - it is true, it kills the bacteria and because it alkalizes the mouth it promotes healing. Mouth washes with alcohol do kill bacteria but instead of promoting healing they kill the outer lining of gums in the process!
