Mouthwash recipe using essential oils
- 4 oz. Water
- 4 oz. Vodka
- 4 teaspoons Liquid Glycerine
- 10-12 drops Peppermint or Spearmint Essential Oil
- 5 drops Myrrh (optional - Myrrh can assist in mouth and gum care)
Boil the water and vodka then add the glycerine. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Add the essential oils and let cool for 1/2 hour and bottle. I like to bottle the mouthwash in a clear plastic bottle that has a flip top to make it easy to pour the mouthwash into a small dixie cup for use.
