Prevents Oral Problems
If a person has oral problems, matcha can help. It’s been shown to prevent and treat mouth ulcers, prevent cavities and reduce the risk of gum disease. In addition, since matcha is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties, it can also help heal oral injuries like burns or cuts on the tongue or lips.
Some people use it as a mouthwash by mixing it with water or lemon juice. Others drink it as part of their daily routine. If you aren’t sure how much to use, start slowly. Dilute 1/2 teaspoon of green tea powder in 10 ounces (300 ml) of warm water once a day at first, then gradually increase until you are comfortable with the level that works them.
