Do you remember the time when you had a sore throat or bleeding gums?

Chances are, you were advised by many to gargle saltwater.

Albeit oldschool, this home remedy is easy, inexpensive, and effective.

What’s even more important is that it won’t give you any side effects.

Following an athome oral routine is the best way to ensure that your gums and tongue are healthy.

Aside from helping reduce bacteria in your mouth and teeth (which we will be talking about more in a while so keep on watching), there are other amazing benefits of gargling saltwater for a week.

Let’s take a look at these benefits one by one.

1. Clears nasal congestion
Regular, or at least a week’s worth of gargling saltwater, helps remove the mucus buildup in your respiratory tract and nasal cavity.

The saltwater alleviates the inflammation and relieves the pain in the throat, clearing any nasal congestion you may have.

2. Removes bacteria
When you rinse with saltwater, it makes it harder for bacteria to develop spores that thrive and multiply.

That’s because the mixture helps neutralize the acids in the throat, which are produced by bacteria.

In short, it maintains a healthy pH balance, preventing the growth of unwanted bacteria in the mouth.

3. Eliminates bad breath
If you’re looking for a natural remedy for fresh breath, then salt water is the perfect solution.

Gargling with salt water helps fight off oral bacteria that are responsible for everything from bad breath to gingivitis.

Moreover, salt water rinses help get rid of food particles stuck between your teeth, which could irritate and inflame your gums, when just left there.

4. Provides relief from tonsillitis
See the two lump tissues at the back of your throat?

Those are what we call tonsils.

Tonsillitis happens when tonsils get inflamed due to bacteria and viral infection.

When you have tonsillitis, it can cause pain every time you swallow.

Gargling with salt water can help relieve the pain and ease these symptoms.

5. Helps treat dry cough
Saltwater works great in treating both dry cough and one filled with phlegm.

Gargling with this mixture works as an antitussive, which means it helps stop a cough.

6. Heals canker sores
Canker sores are small annoying ulcers that occur inside the mouth.

They can also be quite painful and sensitive.

Biting the inside of your cheek, hormonal changes during menstruation, and sensitivity to certain foods can cause canker sores.

Saltwater gargle can reduce the associated pain.

It can also help boost healing and recovery in children.

7. Helps reduce the risk of upper respiratory tract infections
Regularly gargling with water, say, for a whole week, can help lower the chances of getting upper respiratory tract infections such as common cold, flu, and strep throat.

In fact, three saltwater gargles a day can decrease your risk of having an upper respiratory tract infection by 40%.
