Benefits of Coconut Oil + Clove + Mint Mouthwash

1. Coconut Oil

   • Natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties

   • Helps reduce harmful oral bacteria like Streptococcus mutans

   • Moisturizes and soothes inflamed tissue

   • Assists with oil pulling detox and freshens breath

2. Clove

   • Contains eugenol, a powerful natural anesthetic and antiseptic

   • Reduces toothache and gum inflammation

   • Fights bacteria and supports healing of mouth ulcers

3. Mint (especially fresh mint leaves)

   • Cools and refreshes the mouth

   • Contains antibacterial compounds

   • Helps relieve bad breath naturally

   • Calms irritated gums and enhances flavor

     
     

Combined, these three ingredients create a healing trifecta that supports oral health without the harsh chemicals found in many commercial mouthwashes.

Natural Healing Spotlight: This Simple Mouthwash Recipe Is Changing the Game for Oral Health

In a world full of harsh chemical rinses and artificial breath fresheners, a simple, homemade blend is making waves among wellness seekers: Coconut Oil + Clove + Mint Mouthwash.

Praised for its gentle yet powerful properties, this natural formula combines centuries-old remedies into a modern solution for mouth inflammation, gum sensitivity, and bad breath.

The secret lies in the synergy:

• Coconut oil acts as a natural detoxifier and moisturizer.

• Clove delivers antimicrobial and pain-relieving power, especially for inflamed gums.

• Mint cools the tissue and refreshes the breath — making it both medicinal and pleasant to use.

  
  

Unlike typical mouthwashes loaded with alcohol and synthetic dyes, this three-ingredient blend works in harmony with the body’s natural healing process.

How to Make It:

• Warm 1+ cup of coconut oil on low hear

• Add 3–5+ whole cloves and a few crushed mint leaves

• Let steep for 10–20 minutes (I leave for 24 hours after heated to really absorb the clove)

• Strain, and let cool

The result? A coconut oil infused rinse. I typically use it 10-20 minutes a day, if my mouth is more inflamed I will use it more.
