Mustard Oil
Mustard oil can be found in every home. It is widely used in cooking for its health benefits. It is rich in vitamins and has antioxidant properties. Take 1/2 teaspoon of pure mustard oil in the palm of your hand. Using a clean finger, rub the oil onto your gums using gentle circular motions. Rinse with warm water. This will stimulate blood circulation, stimulate the gums, and relieve pain. To strengthen your gums, do this daily.
Turmeric
Turmeric is another common ingredient found in every home. Its power to reduce inflammation and fight infection is well known. Take a teaspoon of turmeric powder and mix it with honey to create a smooth, thick paste. Gently apply it to your gums and teeth. Leave on for 3 minutes. Rinse with water. Your gums will feel soothed and firm. Do this every night before going to bed. (Reference)
