    So glad I found this recipe. My husband insists on buying mouthwash. I know that the chemicals in mouthwash kill the good bacteria that aid digestion. I have emptied his bottle of Listerine down the sink and replaced it with this. I also added some eucalyptus and clove. It is very refreshing and really wakes the mouth up. Thanks 👍

    Just a tip, the container you keep your mouthwash in should be in a amber glass. Just like the one your essential oil is in. Those oils have to be kept in a dark container because the break down the bottle their in over time if not in amber glass

    I love this recipe, I definetively will do this and will add Salvia too . Something I usually do when I use BS is to use hot water so that it dissolves well. I actually make my own deodorant with just water and BS and sometimes add essential oils. I put it in a spray bottle and voila. Also salvia is an excellent additive to a mouthwash. I'm going to try it because it has the following properties: Salvia officinalis is a medicinal herb used as an cosmetic, flavoring agent, It has antibacterial, antifungal, anticaries, antiplaque, antiviral, astringent, and other useful properties, it is also used in dental practice for the management of periodontal disease and to prevent halitosis.

    Happy Wednesday 😊 thank you for this video. I was searching for a how to make a mouthwash video. I buy the large box of baking soda to. We have been using baking soda in our house since forever. My parents always kept it. When I was growing up in the 70's era there was no such thing as food grade baking soda. Thank you for sharing 😄 have a wonderful night, rest of week and weekend 😃😊😄👋🙇

      kkb1130 It's made in such small batches we've never had it last more than a few weeks. Baking soda is fungistatic, meaning it can prevent mold from growing and spreading (although it cannot kill existing mold). Both tea tree and peppermint essential oils are both antifungal and antibacterial. With all of that going on, I would be confident that it should "keep" for at least a month. Hope that helps. Blessings.

      bagglebollocks I would use organic coconut oil. It is a natural antibiotic and also whitens teeth. Besides dental benefits, you can eat a teaspoon a day to diminish sugar cravings; eat a tsp. when taking vitamin D3 or any other fat soluble vitamin (most doctors don't tell you that vitamin D is fat- soluble); use it for cooking; and amongst other uses, it can be mixed with baking soda to use as an exfoliator/face wash.

    I may have missed your diy toothpaste vid. I normally use coconut oil with tea tree. As much as I love the smell and taste of peppermint, I can't use it because I take cell salts often and you can't use any kind of mint or camphor while on it. I use lemon EO in its place, but if you have a good recipe for the toothpaste, I would love to try it.

    Question for you - have you done any Ph testing on this mouth rinse? I am very curious where it's at as there is an ideal Ph level for saliva 7.1, I am going to use this recipe as a base but experiment with adding additional oils + xylitol. Listerine is horrible (cancerous stuff in it) but their formula also uses eucalyptus oil, thyme oil, menthyl oil, and oil of wintergreen (Methyl Salicylate). Reason I want to use some of their ingredients is because their essential oil formula has been studied and proven to work almost equally to flossing (nuts, I know! Found multiples on nih.gov. Although I will keep doing both). This dentist is on youtube, his recipe is Ph balanced best for the mouth - askthedentist.com/diy-ph-balancing-mouth-rinse/. I like how his recipe integrated Xylitol which has been proven great for teeth. Going to find a happy balance between all three while maintaining an optimal Ph balance of 7.1 :)
