Commercial mouthwashes are full of toxic chemicals, including ones linked to cancer. A recent study in the Dental Journal of Australia found that regular use of conventional mouth wash could lead to a greater risk of developing cancer of the mouth. Some of the harmful ingredients used in store bought mouthwash include artificial dyes, chlorhexidine, hexetidine, methyl salicylate, methylparaben & triclosan, all of which have been found to carry health risks!

Natural Antibacterial Mouthwash (for the entire family)

You will need:

• 1 recycled glass jar or bottle - make sure it is super super clean and naturally disinfected

• 1/2 cup purified still water

• 2 teaspoons baking soda (preferably organic)

• 2 drops Soil Tea Tree Essential Oil

• 2 drops Soil Peppermint Essential Oil

Directions:

Stir all of the above together in a jug and then pour into your jar or glass bottle. Give the mouthwash a shake / stir each time you use it as the baking soda might tend to settle on the bottom. Have fun and good luck!
