Garlic shows promise as alternative to chemical mouthwashes: Study
Garlic extract demonstrates antimicrobial efficacy comparable to other widely used chemical mouthwashes, according to a University of Sharjah study. The study suggests that while garlic-based mouthwash may cause more discomfort than chemical ones, it offers longer-lasting residual effects. Garlic-based mouthwash causes less severe side effects than standard chemical mouthwashes, scientists said.
