Make your own Mouthwash


Mouthwashes are easy to make and so cheap. It makes me wonder why they cost so much. Then there is the "fake this" and  "chemically made that". Frankly I don't really want all those extra cancer causing agents in my system. Here is a mouthwash for about everyone in your family, including a Lemon pie one for those little ones. My favorite is of course the first one and the last one.

Note: Just one thing you can either add 1 teaspoon vodka or a teaspoon glycerin to each recipe and have it last a long time and no shaking. Or you can shake it when you use it and it will last about 3 months, more than enough time to use. The reason is essential oils don't mix with water without a emulsifier. Either glycerin or vodka will keep them mixed.
