Did you know that the first ingredient in most mouthwashes is alcohol (ethanol), and coming in a close second is heaping dose of sugar (sucralose, sorbital, saccharine). Awesome. Just what I want first thing in the morning. Most mouthwashes costs around $6 for 32 oz ($.12/oz), whereas this will cost you around $1.20 for 32 oz ($.03/oz). With just a few ingredients and a few seconds, create your own Peppermint Mouthwash.
Ingredients
  • 13 oz Hydrogen Peroxide (3.5% or less)
  • ¼ tsp Essential Oil (Peppermint, Cinnamon, Etc)
  • ⅛-1/4 tsp Stevia (more or less to taste)
  • Dark Glass Bottle or Dark Plastic Container with Lid
Instructions
  1. Using a funnel, pour the Hydrogen Peroxide into container. Add your choice of essential oil. Next, add the Stevia (or you can skip this ingredient if you don't want/need it to be sweet).
  2. Shake all ingredients up in the container until mixed.
  3. Use by pouring a small amount into your mouth, swishing the liquid around for a few minutes and then spitting it out.
