centella asiatica + bamboo salt

Centella asiatica + bamboo salt is a combination of two herbal/mineral ingredients commonly formulated as a toothpaste or oral care product, but also used in other topical or oral supplements, primarily in traditional and integrative medicine. Centella asiatica, also known as Gotu kola, is a medicinal herb known for its anti-inflammatory, wound healing, antioxidant, and potential neuroprotective effects. Bamboo salt is a mineral-rich alkaline salt produced by baking sea salt in bamboo, used in Korean folk medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and remineralization properties. In combination, these ingredients are most frequently used for oral health: clinical trials and in vitro studies suggest such formulations can reduce dental plaque, lower counts of cariogenic bacteria such as *Streptococcus mutans* and *Lactobacillus*, and relieve gingivitis, with efficacy similar to conventional non-herbal toothpastes. Mechanistically, the combination acts by antimicrobial activity (primarily against oral pathogens), reducing local inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-α), and promoting remineralization of enamel. The combination is primarily marketed as a complementary oral care or self-care hygiene product.
