Salt water: Salt water can help reduce swelling by reversing osmosis in the cells in your mouth. You still need a great oral hygiene and professional cleanings to get your teeth and gums healthy if you have bleeding and puffy gums. Schedule your check-up right away ;-).

Puffy bleeding gums: Salt water, swish and spit, may be helpful. Better yet, see your dentist for a thorough exam so that they can identify and treat the cause.

No: "bleeding puffy gums" need immediate attention by a dentist. Don't delay - this is serious.

May be!: There may be a home made recipe for mouthwash, but why reinvent the wheel. There are major companies that have invested millions in research and development to produce really good mouthwashes. Use them. Now about those puffy gums - you needs professional help with them and you need it now! please go and see a dentist as soon as possible, and don;'t forget to floss, even if it bleeds at first.
