What are the Ingredients of Manuka Mouthwash?
Key Ingredients:
Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium):
Manuka is famous for its powerful antibacterial and antifungal actions. It contains many tannins and is extremely astringent. This acerbic action combined with its impressive antimicrobial properties, helps to relieve symptoms of diarrhoea and dysentery, as well as assisting wound healing and decreasing inflammation and bleeding due to periodontal infections and disease.
Tanekaha (Phyllocladus trichomanoides):
It's common name 'Celery Pine' is a slow-growing evergreen conifer indigenous to New Zealand. Tanekaha was used traditionally and medicinally as an astringent and antimicrobial agent by Maori people and early European settlers. Externally it was used as a healing remedy for burns as well as for boils, abscesses and septic infections. Through use and studies it has shown to be effective against a range of bacteria, yeasts and viruses. Both astringent and microbial properties make this plant ideal for mouthwash formulations. The strong astringent helps to tighten and heal gum tissue while the anti-microbial action helps to kill the bacteria responsible for tooth decay as well as gum conditions such as gingivitis and periodontal disease.
