10 Benefits of Nutmeg
Nutmeg Benefit #3: Oral Health
Not only can oral complications be physically very painful, they can also be quite embarrassing. A build-up of bacteria in the mouth can cause halitosis, which can be quite noticeable to other people. The good news, though, is that nutmeg has properties that can help to fight halitosis and other oral complications.
Nutmeg contains anti-bacterial elements that combat the bacteria that cause halitosis. The spice has long been used in halitosis remedies and it is still used today in modern treatments and toiletries. Many mouthwashes and toothpastes, for example, will contain some nutmeg extracts for their ability to combat bad breath.
