Smile is the first thing that makes us eye-catching among a group of people. Who doesn’t want a bright and shiny smile with good oral health? A healthy mouth is what helps us have the food we wish. A good breath and smile bring out the confidence in us. Gargling is one such method to achieve this. Let’s explore more about gargling.

HOW TO GARGLE:

– Sit in a comfortable, non-breezy area with morning sunlight.

– Perform mild massage and sudation over head, neck, and shoulders for 5 minutes.

– Hold the suitable liquid in the mouth either by moving the liquid to and fro as in a procedure called Kavala or by not moving it to and fro as in Gandusha.

– Liquid should be a mouthful for Gandusha and half/one-third/one-fourth for Kavala.

– Continue the procedure until watery discharge occurs from the eyes and nose.

– Avoid talking until the procedure is completed.
