Here’s a fun post on a quick, healthy and affordable way of making a mint mouthwash!
Yes I said mouthwash! 😀
Conventional store bought mouthwashes can contain alcohol, which actually dries out the mucous membranes in your mouth and can cause bad breath as a result. Some contain flavouring and other ingredients that I find way too strong. Anyhow, I found an ingredient that is pleasant and minty and sooooo easy to make it only takes 1-2 mins.
Just clean out a glass bottle (300ml). You can get a pack of 4 or 6 of Schweppes Soda or spring water and re-use.
- 250 ml water (Use filtered if possible)
- 1 teaspoon aloe vera juice
- 1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin
- 6 drops peppermint essential oil
Shake it up and voila!
Peppermint essential oil helps fight odour-causing bacteria and the aloe vera juice soothes gums. Has a surprising little kick in it!
Try it for yourself and let me know how you go.
