Homemade mouthwash!

Tuesday's Tip!
Making Mouthwash

Supplies Needed:
½ cup filtered or distilled water
2 tsp baking soda
2 drops tea tree essential oil
2 drops peppermint essential oil

Baking soda will settle to the bottom of the jar when not in use, so be sure to shake mouthwash before each use. Swish about 2-3 teaspoons of this homemade formula in your mouth for a minute or two. As with any mouthwash, try to avoid swallowing this while gargling.

Feel free to double this recipe for a larger batch. Making really big batches is not recommended because the oils will continue to blend over time and flavors can change.
Save money and get better mouthwash
