Oral Health Tips: Patanjali Ayurved, a company led by Yoga Guru Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna, has launched Dant Kanti Gandush Oil Pulling in the market keeping in mind oral health care. According to the company, this product is based on the traditional ‘Gandush’ method of Ayurveda, in which teeth and gums are cleaned by swishing medicated oil in the mouth for a few minutes.

Dental problems have increased

Health problems related to mouth are no longer just minor problems like toothache or bad breath. Nowadays people are consuming more spicy fast food, sweet snacks and processed foods, due to which problems like cavities, swollen gums, bleeding gums, loose teeth and persistent bad breath have increased. In India, where dental awareness is still limited in many areas, the problem is said to be even more serious. Patanjali claims that this is why there has been a resurgence of interest in the traditional methods of Ayurveda, which focus on prevention rather than just treatment.

What is Gandush Oil?

Gandush is one such method, which is also described in the texts of Ayurveda. In this, medicated oil has to be kept in the mouth for a few minutes every morning. It is said that Ayurvedic scholars recommended this method not only for cleaning the mouth, but also to strengthen teeth and gums, improve voice quality and aid digestion. According to the company’s explanation, the purpose of Gandush Oil is to keep the oil in the mouth long enough for it to have its effect on the oral tissues and microorganisms and then immediately spit it out without rinsing, so that its effect lasts longer.

Company scientists did research
