Act as an antibacterial agent

Lotus has been examined for its antibacterial properties, especially its ability to combat germs in the mouth. The exact mechanism by which lotus demonstrates antibacterial qualities is unknown, although the numerous beneficial chemicals it contains are likely to play a role. According to research, lotus leaf extract helps combat the bacterial species that cause cavities and gum infections.

As a result, it has the potential to be used as an ingredient in toothpaste and other oral care products. It should be noted, however, that these experiments were carried out in test tubes. Human studies are needed to further understand the potential of lotus to cure oral infections.
