Benefits of Washing the mouth
First the hands are washed therefore they become clean from bacteria.
If the hands were not washed properly the bacteria would travel into the stomach via the mouth causing many illnesses in the stomach.
Due to air many germs travel into our mouth and some bacteria stay in the mouth from bits of food left in between the teeth.
If the mouth is not washed or cleaned properly including using a miswaak.These illnesses might occur.
Like:
Swelling of the mouth as a first sign of AIDS.(Usually it takes about 8 to 10 years to notice symptoms of AIDS).or Thrush and mouth lesions. Moniliasis(is an infection of the mouth caused by a yeast called Candida albicans) of the mouth and lips. If the person is not fasting it is sunnah to gargle.The one who gargles water will not get Tonsillitis(an infection of the tonsils and will often, but not necessarily, cause a sore throat and fever) and will be saved from many throat illnesses.
Benefits of washing the nose
The lungs need air free from from pollution and it should contain 80% moisture and should be more than 90 degrees Fahrenheit(32 C). To attain this type of air,Allah has blessed us with a nose. To make the air moist,the nose creates a quarter of a gallon of moisture and the hair in the nostrils stop dirt going inside the lungs. There is a microscopic brush in the nose.This brush contains small particles which kill the bacteria that travel through air and enter the nose.These particles also defend lysozium (are a family of enzymes which damage bacterial cell walls by catalyzing hydrolysis....), which also assist and save the eyes from infection.
Due to rinsing of the nose regurarly with water in wudhu.The nose is cleaned from dirt so the risk of illnesses is minimized. It is very beneficial for a person to do "Ghusl of the nose"(to sniff water up the nose)if he/she is suffering from catarrh
