Sir how many drops of Arimedadi Thailam should be used for rinsing our mouth with warm water
Hi, Arimedadi oil is not mixed with water while rinsing. This oil – 5 – 10 ml is taken directly into mouth and gargled / rinsed for 5 – 15 minutes, based on one’s comfort. After that, the entire oil is spat out and then hot water is used to wash mouth.

Is this oil helpful in removal of tarter nd gum recession?
Dear Dr Hebbar,
what would you advise in case of a tooth with a failed old root canal treatment, which now has two granulomas (periapical abcesses) in the root (female, 36, tooth No.6, top)? The next tooth (5th) has now also got an inflammation in the root, the root is almost inside the sinus.
Can the granulomas be healed with aurvedic methods and extraction avoided? Or if not, how to best prepare for the extraction?
Many, many thanks!
