Summary

This study tested whether a mouthwash made from Triphala, an Ayurvedic herbal blend, works as well as the standard chlorhexidine mouthwash for reducing plaque and gum inflammation (gingivitis). 220 adults with mild to moderate gingivitis used one of the two mouthwashes. The goal was to see if Triphala could be a gentler alternative with fewer side effects like taste issues and staining.
