Homemade Mouthwash

So I went to the dentist today for a regular teeth cleaning, and they had a fact sheet in my waiting room.  The American Academy for Oral Systemic Health reports that bacteria in your mouth travel to other parts of your body in your bloodstream, so bacteria that live in your mouth can cause heart disease, high blood pressure & stroke (among other things).  It is very important to get your teeth professionally cleaned twice a year, but what can we do in the meantime?

My family and I make our own mouthwash - here is the recipe:


1/2 cup water (distilled or boiled for purity)
1/2 cup Hydrogen Peroxide 3%
3 drops Melaleuca Essential Oil
3 drops Peppermint Essential Oil

Put all ingredients in a bottle or container and shake to mix.
Use regularly as you would any mouthwash (rinse & spit)

Melaleuca has high antibacterial properties.  _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________
