In ayurveda acharyas has mention the use of mouthwash in the form of kaval and gandush in dincharya. With the increase in the awareness towards ayurvedic medicine, people have become accustomed to the use of ayurvedic products. For the maintenance of daily oral health, we use kaval and gandush daily for both physiological and pathological purposes. When sufficient amount of medicated fluid is taken inside the mouth such that the mouth cannot be moved is called gandush. When a lesser amount of fluid is taken in the mouth such that the mouth can be moved easily is called kaval. People are aware with the concept of herbal mouthwash but not the ayurvedic kaval and gandush. And researches have shown the efficiency of herbal mouthwash in the long term as a therapeutic usage.
