D.I.Y Mouth Wash
Commercial mouthwash products try to position themselves as beneficial anti-cavity solutions, but the truth is that they’re actually bad for your mouth! The harsh ingredients found in regular mouthwash formulas destroy all bacteria in your mouth- even the good bacteria that you need to fight toxins.
You can save yourself from unnecessary dental trauma by making your own mouthwash instead. You only need essential oils, filtered water, and baking soda to make a powerful DIY mouthwash.
Essential oils like tea tree and peppermint naturally fight bacterial infections and kill oral pathogens while nurturing tissue regeneration. As a result, essential oils offer a safe, natural, and powerful way to counteract gingivitis, reduce inflammation, and prevent the conditions that plaque and tartar love.
Blend the following ingredients to make your own remineralizing mouthwash:
2 drops tea tree essential oil
2 drops peppermint essential oil
½ cup of filtered water
pinch of Himalayan sea salt
2 tsp baking soda
**If using salt, heat water and dissolve the salt, let cool. Add baking soda and essential oils.
Just swish and spit twice a day to combat unwanted plaque and keep your smile looking as happy as you feel. You can even put some in a to-go spray bottle and "freshen on the go"!
Keep your mouth ALIVE (the good bacteria) and FRESH! This recipe will not hurt your good bacteria!!
