Clean Mouth...Without the Chemicals! {Mouthwash Recipe}

Before I knew much about the dangers of different chemicals and other artificial ingredients in dental care products, I used to swish Listerine after every meal and when I first woke up. [Don't get me started on the fluoride in my toothpaste, and the excessive tooth whitening products I used to use!]

I decided that Hubby and I just couldn't live without our beloved mouthwash. But what to do? It has artificial colors, alcohol, saccharin, etc etc etc.... I didn't want to be putting this in my mouth anymore!

So, I embarked on a journey for the perfect mouthwash recipe for minty mouthwash lovers.....

Enjoy :) 

Please feel free to tweak the recipe a bit to suit your personal needs. If it is a little strong, then add a little water or put a little less peppermint in.

Lolli's Minty Mouthwash

1 cup (8 oz) filtered or spring water

5 drops peppermint essential oil

3 drops tea tree essential oil 

1 tsp baking soda

1 glass container to store it in

Fill the bottle halfway with water. Add in peppermint essential oil, then add in tea tree essential oil.  Put the baking soda in. Add the remaining 4 oz of water to the container. Place the lid on and shake briefly yet thoroughly. 

That's it, easy. I do shake mine time to time to make sure that the ingredients stay mixed.

* My favorite essential oils are NOW 100% Pure Essential Oils.
