💡 How to Use Tulsi for Oral Health

Dry Tulsi leaves, grind into powder, and gently brush with it once or twice a week.

Boil fresh leaves in water, cool, strain, and use as a natural mouthwash.
✔ Chew Fresh Leaves
Rinse thoroughly and chew occasionally (avoid excessive use to protect enamel).
⚠️ Important Notes

Tulsi should not replace regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste or professional dental care.
-
Avoid scrubbing aggressively with herbal powders, as they may wear enamel over time.
-
If you have chronic gum disease or oral pain, consult a dentist.
