Matcha Tea & Oral Health: A Natural Remedy for Gum Disease
Did You Know? Your Oral Health is Deeply Connected to Your Overall Well-Being
Yes, your mouth is deeply connected to your overall well-being and skin health. Gum disease isn’t just about bad breath or sore gums—it can have far-reaching effects on your body, increasing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and even cancer.
But what if there was a natural, powerful way to fight gum disease and keep your oral health in top shape? Enter matcha tea, a potent green tea powder with remarkable antibacterial properties.
Matcha Tea: A Powerful Ally Against Gum Disease
Research has shown that matcha can actively combat periodontitis, an inflammatory gum disease caused by the bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis. In laboratory tests, matcha extract eliminated all P. gingivalis bacteria within just four hours.
A recent study from Nihon University Hospital School of Dentistry in Japan tested matcha mouthwash on individuals with chronic periodontitis. The results were impressive: only those who used matcha showed a significant reduction in bacterial levels, outperforming both barley tea mouthwash and a standard anti-inflammatory mouthwash.
Beyond its antibacterial effects, matcha has been found to reduce viral and fungal infections, making it a powerful natural remedy for oral health.
Oral Health and Your Overall Well-Being
Maintaining a healthy mouth is about more than just preventing cavities. Research continues to confirm that oral health is deeply linked to overall health, impacting conditions such as:
Heart-disease – Oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream, increasing inflammation and cardiovascular risk.
Diabetes – Gum disease makes it harder to control blood sugar levels.
Arthritis – Chronic inflammation in the mouth can contribute to joint issues.
Skin Health – A balanced microbiome, starting in the mouth, can support clearer, healthier skin.
By incorporating matcha tea into your daily routine—whether as a drink or a natural mouthwash—you can protect your gums, improve your overall health, and even enhance your skin’s glow.
