Why would I want to transfer chili bits to a measuring cup, then try frantically to discern the level they reach, knowing fully well that if I give the measuring cup a little shake the level will be different. Objectives: Various antibacterial and antiplaque agents are used in chemical plaque control but none are without their shortcomings. Chlorhexidine considered a gold standard, also has an array of side effects. To overcome these, numerous herbal extracts have been tried and tested and one among them is holy basil. The present study evaluated the antibacterial efficacy of holy basil in vitro against some periodontopathogens and its antiplaque effect in vivo. MIC of the holy basil extract was evaluated by broth dilution method against two periodontopathic organisms: F. nucleatum ATCC 25586 and P. intermedia ATCC 25611, to determine its antibacterial activity. Various dilutions of the holy basil extract [500 mg/mL, 250 mg/mL, 125 mg/mL, 62.5 mg/mL, 31.25 mg/mL,16.125 mg/mL, 8 mg/mL, 4 mg/mL, 2 mg/ mL, and 1 mg/mL] was tested against these organisms. Various dilutions of the holy basil extract and the organism to be tested was incubated in brain heart infusion agar for 24 hours and observed for turbidity. For the vegan option, you will want to replace the meat and the fish sauce. For this, we mostly like to use tempeh.

The results of the present study showed that holy basil-containing mouthwash was comparable to chlorhexidine with respect to its anti-plaque action with no statistically significant difference between the two.

Alternatively, you could also use a mini blender and pulse until a coarse paste-like texture is achieved.

Conclusions: These results indicate that the holy basil mouthwash has an antiplaque effect and is efficacious against P. intermedia and F. nucleatum strains in vitro. Hence holy basil mouthwash may have potential as an antiplaque mouthwash with prophylactic benefits. A number of studies have investigated Holy Basil’s ability to reduce infections due to bacteria. Much of this antibacterial character of Holy Basil is due to eugenol. Eugenol has undergone study in other venues as a proven antimicrobial substance. For example, a 2015 study from Brazil’s University Federal de Alfenas found that eugenol was antimicrobial against Salmonella typhimurium and Micrococcus luteus – both infective bacteria.
