What are the benefits of brushing your teeth with salt water?

Salt is an indispensable condiment in our three meals a day. We can hardly eat without salt. In fact, salt is not only an important cooking seasoning, it also has many unknown medicinal values. The most common thing we hear is that salt can reduce inflammation and disinfect. So what are the benefits of brushing your teeth with salt water? I will give you a brief introduction today, let’s take a look.

Anti-inflammatory and tooth treatment: The fluoride contained in table salt can reduce inflammation, kill bacteria and prevent tooth decay. Therefore, gargling with salt water and brushing your teeth once in the morning and evening can prevent tooth decay. If the patient has toothache due to liver fire, gargling with salt (green salt is better) can have the effect of clearing away heat and inflammation and relieve the pain of toothache.

Clear stomach water: Drink a cup of light salt soup on an empty stomach in the morning. It can not only clear stomach fire, bad breath and the bitter and tasteless feeling in the mouth, but also enhance digestion, increase appetite and clear intestinal heat.

To prevent and treat hair loss: Gently apply concentrated salt soup to the roots of the hair, then wash it off with clean water after about 5 minutes. Do this once in the morning and once in the evening every day for 15 to 20 days as a course of treatment, which can prevent and treat hair loss.

Protect your throat: The climate is dry in autumn and winter, which is a high incidence period for acute and chronic pharyngitis and tonsillitis. Salt soup can be used for treatment in the early stages of the disease. Here’s how: When you feel slight discomfort in your throat, you can use salt water as a morning mouthwash. When your throat is swollen and painful, gargle with concentrated salt water 5 to 6 times a day to achieve anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects.

Natural hemostasis: After nose bleeding, you can use cotton wool soaked in salt water to stuff it into your nostrils, and drink a cup of salt water at the same time, which can stop the bleeding. If minor bleeding occurs inside the mouth (such as bleeding gums, bleeding laryngeal area, bleeding in the throat caused by fish bones), gargling with salt water can promote blood coagulation and play a natural hemostatic role.

Through the above introduction, I believe that friends have a deeper understanding of the benefits of brushing teeth with salt water. Since salt has anti-inflammatory effects, brushing your teeth with salt water can effectively help kill bacteria and prevent tooth decay. It can also clear away heat and improve bad breath. Friends whose teeth are prone to bleeding may wish to try brushing their teeth with salt water every day.
