Homemade natural oral hygiene mouthwash

Hi everyone!

Today I want to share a safe and effective natural homemade mouthwash. It is much cheaper than regular ‘off the shelf’ mouthwash and even more importantly it is safe for your body.

Ingredients :

A clean jar of a suitable size for storage.
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 cup of distilled water
3 drops of organic essential oil of Tea Tree
3 drops of organic essential oil of peppermint

Shake the bottle before using search time as the bicarbonate will settle at the bottom of the container. Swoosh a small amount around your mouth for a couple of minutes before spitting out. As with normal mouthwash it should NOT be swallowed.

This is antiseptic and anti fungal. Unlike many store- bought mouthwashes the taste of this homemade one does not linger for hours in the mouth and does not have a metallic tasting edge to it.

This is very cheap to make compared to the mouthwashes you find in the shops and is a great healthy alternative if you are home alone without an antiseptic oral hygiene product.

Thanks for checking out my post.

Stay Wild, healthy and happy!

Simple but effective, thanks @sallybeth23 for sharing with NM.io.

Thanks @justinparke yes totally simple and all that is needed.

This is a great recipe and mouth hygiene is so important. It's terrible how much chemicals are in conventional mouth washes, we all need to move away from buying these products, now is the time to focus on our health. xx

I never understood why people would use these toxic looking and crazy tasting mouth wash products ( even though I've tasted them a bunch of times in the past ). I feel I could improve my oral hygiene though and this might just be the way to do so.

Thank you for sharing this with us!

Thanks very much. Yes I totally agree, I tried Listerine once and couldn’t believe such a bad chemical taste was sellable!

You are very good! Big companies won’t like this! LoL
