#Make-It Monday / Easy All Natural DIY Mouthwash

Happy Monday everyone! Life is a busy whirlwind of non-stop action and we are along for the journey and adventure of it all. Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of all the busy goings on, we simple purchase what we need for our natural health care - and hey, if you are doing your best to stay natural while doing all the things - rock on! I support you wholeheartedly! If you grab the other mouthwashes though, that are not natural - you might want to take a look at this article from that goes deep into all of the toxins hiding in our mouthwash. With that being said, mouthwash can be a great benefit to our body and oral hygiene when using the right products and ensuring that they are naturally sourced :)

So even though time is tight in our busy schedule, this mouthwash DIY is an easy addition to our daily health journey. It takes very little time to make (less that 2 minutes), a few simple ingredients, and you get the added benefit of knowing exactly what goes into your mouth each time you use it!

First, let's ask the question, why mouthwash? Who uses mouthwash anymore you might ask - and why should we use it? Well, I can not answer the "who" question because I only know what I do, but I can tell you the "why" of it.

Mouthwash benefits:

*Removes plaque build-up

*Keeps bacteria levels in mouth in check

*Rinses food residue off of teeth

*Reduces pain and inflammation of ulcers and canker sores

*Helps provide antibacterial and antiviral support from germs in back of throat when used to gargle with

*It can support healthy gums and reduce the risk of gum diseases or gingivitis

*It can also provide pain relief for toothaches

So grab a few spare minutes, get to making, and enjoy that clean feeling knowing that every time you use this mouth rinse you are putting only NATURAL products into your mouth and it was something so simple to make, yet supports your everyday natural health!

All Natural Mouthwash

8 oz small mason jar or glass jar

8 oz distilled water

3 drops guardian essential oil

3 drops clove essential oil

2 drops eucalyptus essential oil

1 tsp baking soda

Add water to the glass jar, then add baking soda and oils. Place lid on and gently shake to blend oils with soda and water. Use as needed to rinse mouth after eating or after brushing your teeth. Rinse mouth for 30-60 seconds. Do not swallow the mouthwash.

(Clove is one of the best oils for dental care, so I would suggest leaving that oil in, but if you would like alternative oil tea tree is a great option to switch out with the eucalyptus or guardian)
