Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves (or whole cloves crushed)
- A few fresh guava leaves (or bay leaves if guava is unavailable)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional for extra whitening)
- A pinch of salt (optional for antibacterial boost)
- Water (for boiling or rinsing)
Instructions
- Prepare the Leaves:
Wash the guava (or bay) leaves thoroughly. Crush or chop them for better release of natural compounds. - Create the Mixture:
In a small bowl, mix the ground cloves and coconut oil to form a paste. Add the crushed leaves. - Boil (Optional):
If you’d like to use the mixture as a rinse, boil the leaves in ½ cup of water for 5 minutes. Strain and let cool. - Apply:
Use a soft toothbrush to apply the clove-leaf paste directly to your teeth and gums. Gently brush for 2 minutes, focusing on areas with tartar or yellowing. - Rinse:
Rinse with water or the prepared guava-leaf rinse. Avoid eating or drinking for 15–20 minutes.
Tips:
- Use 2–3 times a week for best results.
- Always follow up with your regular brushing routine.
- Cloves fight bacteria, freshen breath, and reduce inflammation, while guava leaves help with plaque and gum health.
