Overview

This toothpaste combines traditional herbal ingredients known for their astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. While Ratanhia and Myrrh have historical use and some research supporting their benefits for oral health, the lack of specific concentrations for each ingredient makes it difficult to ascertain the full clinical effectiveness of this particular formulation. The essential oils contribute to flavor and freshness.
