Whenever I had swollen gums or it felt like skin was scraping off of the roof of my mouth and the side effect was dry mouth, I thought it was like this for a reason, so I didn't drink water until the dryness disappeared and the next day, the swelling and scraped gums disappeared. I think it's because the mouth has mucous membranes and they have to dry out in order for bacteria to be killed. Maybe dry mouth can stop herpes from settling on the mucous membranes.

the hotness of the cinnamon
No. It may cause some serious heartburn, though. Eating cinnamon on it's own is only dangerous in it's powdered form, as the fine powder may clog the alveoli in the lungs, the small air sacs that allow you to breath.
well yeah most mouth wash but mainly germs and bacteria.
Yes it does because of the strong amounts of menthol in the select flavors of Rain, Cobalt, and React (mint). the bacteria in your mouth is not meant to deal with menthol and menthol has a certain chemical in the waxy oil that its derived from that has been scientifically proven to kill hundreds of bacteria that originate from the mouth.
