Description
Khadijah Altammar blends three plant extracts to fight oral microbes in work dated two thousand twenty-six. Drug resistance and biofilm infections in the mouth call for multi-pronged care beyond single herbs. The blend joins thyme, moringa, and purple coneflower extracts in alcohol.
A planned mixture design searched for the best ratio of the three. The top blend worked at half the dose when combined than each part alone would suggest, a sign of synergy. It cleared wide zones around a yeast and a tooth-decay bacterium and blocked most biofilm growth. Chemical study named the lead plant compounds in the mix. Cell tests checked that the blend stayed gentle on mouth lining cells.
