NATURAL ANTIBACTERIAL MOUTHWASH

 HOW TO MAKE NATURAL ANTIBACTERIAL MOUTHWASH 

My homemade mouthwash is natural, effective, and gentle, not harsh like the commercial stuff. This DIY mouthwash is simple and inexpensive!

Ever watched the clock hoping you could endure the burn of your mouthwash for a full minute? I have never been able to stand the harsh burn of commercial mouthwash. So after reading about the beneficial properties of peppermint essential oil, I did what any creative DIY’er would do, I set out to make my own.

Homemade Mouthwash: A Natural and Antibacterial DIY Recipe

EQUIPMENT

4 ounce mason jar

INGREDIENTS

2 tsp baking soda

½ cup filtered water (or distilled)

2 drops tea tree essential oil

2 drops peppermint essential oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. The baking soda will settle to the bottom of the jar when not in use, so be sure to shake your homemade mouthwash before each use.
