Description
Angeliki Granika and four co-authors test a plant-based mouthwash in a clinical trial from two thousand twenty-six. The rinse uses flower water from the smoke tree, Cotinus coggygria. Their patients were adolescents with fixed braces, a group prone to bad breath and plaque build-up.
Thirty patients were split at random between the herbal rinse and a placebo, in a double-blind design. After two weeks, the herbal group showed a clear drop in hydrogen sulfide, a main bad-breath gas, versus placebo. Total volatile sulfur compounds also fell. Gum and plaque scores improved more in the herbal group as well. The authors call the rinse an effective aid for breath and oral hygiene during brace treatment.
