Preferred Label : Honey-containing Mouthwash;
NCIt definition : A mouthwash containing honey with potential antimucositis activity. Upon rinsing with
this mouthwash, honey modulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines which
may kill bacteria thus potentially preventing inflammation of the mucosal membranes
and may decrease chemotherapy- and/or radiation-induced oral mucositis. In addition,
honey may have a protective and healing effect on the oral mucosa.;
