Have you ever looked at what is on the label of the products you are using?
Are you the crafty type? Wanna get crafty with Thieves?! We know that it's totally fun to play with the oils and make fun things so how about making your own Thieves Mouthwash? The graphic has the recipe above.
Still not convinced you are needing to make mouthwash? Well if you use a brand now with the nasties in it you do need to remove those toxins as well. The nasties are sodium lauryl sulphae, a detergent which most mouthwashes have. We have to much sodium in already apparently..
Second, any mouthwash that claims to be “antiseptic” or “anti-bacterial” is a bad idea. Assuming it really does kill bacteria, it kills them indiscriminately. Only a few of the bacteria in your mouth are harmful (i.e., cause illness or cavities). The rest are part of the environment you are evolved to live in and form part of your body’s first line of defence against pathogens. If you kill all the bacteria in your mouth, you are leaving a hole in your immunity that something else can come along and fill. There are times when this is worth it—say when disinfecting a wound, but as a part of daily hygiene, it’s not the best idea.
Apparently, there is no medical reason for most people to use mouthwash. Most people do so because they think it will improve their breath, however, if your have bad breath that doesn’t resolve with brushing and flossing, mouthwash it like spraying perfume in a stinky bathroom—you need instead to solve the problem.
So if you use Mouthwash now - ditch it and switch to this DIY.
