Ancient remedy meets modern science: frankincense mouthwash tested for gingivitis
NCT ID NCT07535229
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a mouthwash made from frankincense and coconut oil can help treat mild to moderate gingivitis (gum inflammation). Researchers will compare it to a standard commercial mouthwash in 90 adults over 21 days. The goal is to see if the natural blend reduces plaque and gum inflammation better than conventional products.
