Abstract:
Oral hygiene plays an important role in keeping the body healthy. Oral cavity is in direct contact with the external environment, due to which it is natural to have bacterial growth in the mouth, but by adopting the measures of oral hygiene, bacterial growth can be easily prevented and keep body healthy. In Ayurvedic classical texts Kawal & Gandoosha are described under the heading of Dincharaya, which not only keep oral cavity disease free but also healthy too. These procedures are essential for maintaining and promoting oral hygiene. By seeing these benefits, Government of India include Kawal (oil pulling) in the National Ayurveda Protocol for the management of covid-19.
