2. Super Simple Mouthwash

Ingredients:

1 cup of filtered water
4 teaspoons of baking soda
4 drops of tea tree essential oil
4 drops of peppermint essential oil

Instructions:

Add all ingredients to a mason jar or similar container with a lid. Shake very well. Use about 2 tablespoons of this mixture each day, the same way you would use mouthwash for super white teeth and fresh breath. The baking soda will usually settle to the bottom of the container after a few hours, but don’t worry, this is normal. Simply shake well before each use.

3. Cinnamon and Honey Mouthwash

Ingredients:

2 organic lemons, juiced
½ tablespoon of cinnamon powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda (not baking powder!)
1.5 teaspoons of raw, organic honey
1 cup of warm water

Instructions:

Using a mason jar or similar type of container with a tight fitting lid, add all ingredients in the order given. Be sure the water is very warm as it needs to melt the honey. Close the lid and shake for one minute. Store in the fridge and use two tablespoons as a mouth rinse.

4. Three-Ingredient Mouthwash

Ingredients:

1 cup of filtered water
1 teaspoon of baking soda
3 drops of peppermint essential oil

Instructions:

Add all ingredients in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid and shake very well. This can be kept in the bathroom and does not require refrigeration. Shake well before each use.
