Himalaya Hiora SG Gel is often recommended for gum issues like bleeding and itching since it contains natural ingredients that can both soothe and promote oral health. Its key components include Triphala, an ancient herbal formulation known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and Bibhitaki, which is beneficial for oral hygiene.
You can start by applying the gel after brushing your teeth. After you finish brushing, rinse your mouth gently with water. Then, apply a small amount of the gel directly onto your gums using your clean fingertip or a soft brush tip, if included with your gel. Make sure you cover the affected areas well. Leave it on and refrain from rinsing your mouth or eating/drinking for at least 30 minutes to allow the gel to work effectively.
Using it twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, is typically recommended. You don’t need to use a large amount - just enough to cover the gums lightly. Overapplying isn’t necessary, and moderation will prevent wastage and potential overuse.
As for how long to use it, most people see improvement after a few weeks, but if your symptoms persist or worsen, you should follow up with your dentist or explore if there are any deeper imbalances according to Ayurveda. In Ayurveda, gum issues often relate to a Pitta imbalance, sometimes with Kapha involvement, leading to inflammation and sluggish gum circulation. Managing this naturally includes staying away from excessively hot or spicy foods and maintaining oral hygiene.
Beyond the gel, consider practices like oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil which might aid inflammation and help rejuvenate gum health. If symptoms don’t improve or feel severe, don’t hesitate to consult a healthcare provider. It’s key to address any potential underlying causes promptly.
