GARGALENE MOUTH WASH

Glycerine and Menthol Mouth Wash primarily work through several mechanisms of action. Glycerine, also known as glycerol, is a humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture. In the mouth, glycerine helps to hydrate and moisturize oral tissues, reducing dryness and promoting a soothing effect. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with dry mouth conditions. Menthol, on the other hand, provides a cooling and refreshing sensation. It acts as a mild anesthetic, numbing the oral mucosa and providing temporary relief from minor throat and mouth irritation. Menthol stimulates cold receptors in the mouth, creating a cooling sensation that can help alleviate discomfort and provide a refreshing feeling. The combination of glycerine and menthol in the mouthwash contributes to oral comfort, hydration, and a pleasant sensory experience.
