Mouthwashes

[cjoseph90]

Im not talking about the usual common onés like listerine or colgate that you can buy in most stores. I wanted to buy one without alcohol but are on the more expensive side of the scale. But spending like €9/10+ on mouthwash, im a bit hesitant. Anyone think theyre worth It/ not really Make much of a difference?

I never use mainstream mouthwashes. I make my own depending on what I have on hand.

Cloves - pour water over clove powder stir and use. Can also use clove essential oil. (1-2 drops in warm water.

Tea tree essential oil - couple drops in warm water. Any EO will do that is suitable for this process.

Apple Cider Vinegar- small amount with water. Rinse well before brushing as the vinegar can erode teeth but not enough for this process and if done sparingly. 

Baking soda - same as acv.

Lemon/lime  juice - same process. Add water. 

Himalayan/Celtics salt - add water

Haven't been to a dentist in over 20yrs. No need to. No toothache or bad breath in over 20yrs. As a teenager while using mainstream shit I needed the dentist once and had toothaches and needed a back tooth pulled from cavities and filings.

Ever since I changed to homemade stuff never had to visit dentist for any reason. Been 20yrs. No complications needed. I use natural toothpastes also.

P.S. cloves is king.

I also believe in natural mouthwashes and I tried everything that you wrote expect the clove which I will try someday too. Each of those worked perfect for me. Currently I am using baking soda with 1-2 drops of neem oil. Cocount oil is also amazing as a mouth wash. 

Yes, coconut oil is great for oral hygiene. Oil pulling is a great way to cleanse the mouth, but it takes some time. I add it to my homemade toothpaste. Neem is also, I buy a neem toothpaste from the health food store. I believe I posted a pic in the healthy food/products section. Clove is excellent for tooth care. Even helps to ease toothaches. The taste is also magnificent.
