13. Lemon Juice and Strawberries
This is another tasty way to remove tartar and kill bacteria. Put 3 or 4 organic strawberries and 1 tablespoon of organic lemon juice in your blender or food processor. Blend lightly, then, using your fingertips, gently rub this mixture across your gums, right on the gum line. Leave this on for about one minute, then rinse very well with plain water.
14. Chlorella
These blue – green algae can help to heal and treat gingivitis from the inside out by improving the body’s immune system and encouraging the body to naturally repair its own tissue. Take this supplement as directed. Read more about chlorella benefits.
15. Echinacea
This ancient flowering herb has been used for ages to improve the immune system as well as reduce inflammation. You can add about 1.5 teaspoons of an Echinacea extract to a glass of warm water and use it as a mouthwash. Use this disease fighting rinse three or four times each day for best results.
Extra Tips:
- Don’t speed brush. Brush your teeth for 2 minutes every time you brush
- Always use a tongue cleaner at least once each day
- Drink plenty of water to remove food and bacteria from your mouth
- Floss at least once each day
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables
- Don’t smoke. If you do smoke, stop
- Cut out in-between meal snacks
- Stop eating sugary treats and sugar filled beverages
If your gingivitis symptoms do not appear to change or if they appear to worsen, see your dentist as soon as possible.

You read all these websites on how wonderful aloe vera is and you can’t get hold of any that you can be sure is decent stuff. I just want a pure gel as obtained straight from the plant or, if it has been processed, a guarantee that it has not been processed in such a way as to compromise its effectiveness, as many processing techniques destroy or at least greatly reduce effectiveness – obviously I want that, otherwise there’s no point in using it. The problem is they don’t put the information you need in the product description or on the label – either that or the information given is ambiguous or deceptive. Actually I’m not particularly keen on gels mixed with a load of chemical additives either. I don’t see why it should be so difficult to get pure gel, just gel that has not been messed with or chemically adulterated but there you are. I spent all last evening searching online before finally having to admit defeat. I even thought of trying to grow my own but the climate isn’t suitable here in the UK.
