To maintain oral health and support the body’s natural balance reflected on your tongue, consider incorporating a homemade, natural mouthwash into your daily routine. This easy-to-make recipe not only promotes oral hygiene but also contributes to a healthier tongue appearance.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of distilled or filtered water
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda
- 2 drops of tea tree oil
- 2 drops of peppermint essential oil
- 1 teaspoon of xylitol (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Water: Start with a cup of distilled or filtered water to ensure it’s free from impurities that could affect the mouthwash’s quality.
- Add Baking Soda: Dissolve 2 teaspoons of baking soda into the water. Baking soda neutralizes acids in the mouth, reducing the risk of tooth decay and improving breath.
- Incorporate Essential Oils: Add 2 drops each of tea tree and peppermint essential oils. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties to combat oral bacteria, while peppermint oil provides a fresh, clean feeling.
- Sweeten Optionally: If you prefer a slightly sweet taste, mix in 1 teaspoon of xylitol. This natural sweetener can also help to fight cavity-causing bacteria without the downsides of sugar.
- Mix and Store: Stir the mixture well. Pour it into a clean, airtight bottle. Store your homemade mouthwash in a cool, dry place.
