Freshen Your Breath And Relieve Pain
Gargling lukewarm saltwater has plenty of benefits. For one thing, it kills the bacteria in your mouth, namely in the back of your throat. If you gargle saltwater near the back of your tongue, the salt should break down the oils in your mouth. Your breath will smell fresher after that.
Saltwater relieves the pain of a sore throat or canker sore. Dissolve two teaspoons of salt into 1/4 cup of water and swish it around your mouth for at least 20 seconds. After the salt kills the germs in your mouth, you should feel less pain.
