Why It Works
When you chew guava leaves, bioactive compounds like flavonoids, tannins, and quercetin are released. These substances help:
- Kill bacteria that cause cavities.
- Reduce gum swelling and irritation.
- Relieve pain naturally without chemicals.
This is an easy remedy you can try anytime, especially if you have access to fresh guava trees.
Remedy 2: Guava Leaf Mouthwash
If chewing raw leaves feels uncomfortable, preparing a guava leaf mouthwash is a gentler yet powerful alternative. It works much like a regular mouth rinse but without added chemicals.
How to Make Guava Leaf Mouthwash
- Take a handful of fresh guava leaves and rinse them clean.
- Boil them in 1–2 cups of water for about 10 minutes.
- Allow the mixture to cool, then strain the liquid.
- Use this solution as a mouthwash 2–3 times daily.
