Although this popular, aromatic spice has been used for centuries in many cuisines around the world, not many people know that cinnamon can prevent plaque build-up. Its strong anti-microbial properties are an effective weapon against plaque-building organisms thriving in the mouth and causing bad breath. With the help of citrusy lemon and anti-bacterial honey, this cinnamon mouthwash will prevent gum and teeth disease, rid of odor, and ensure oral freshness all day long.

Heat the water in a microwave. It has to be warm enough to dissolve the honey, but not boiling so it doesn't destroy the honey's nutrients. (2 minutes) Add the baking soda and cinnamon into an air-tight jar or bottle. Squeeze in fresh lemon juice, add the honey, and pour warm water over the ingredients. (2 minutes) Close the cap and give it a good shake well so that all of the ingredients mix well. (1 minute)

Store this anti-plaque cinnamon mouthwash at room temperature. To use it, shake the bottle, take a sip, and thoroughly swirl the mixture in the mouth for 30 seconds to a minute. Use twice a day for best results or as desired throughout the day to refresh the oral cavity.
