Homemade Peppermint Mouthwash

If you like clean, fresh breath from a simple recipe then you’ve got to try our Homemade Peppermint Mouthwash recipe. This mouthwash includes the freshening and whitening power of baking soda. It gently swishes around to leave your mouth extra clean and deodorized.

When I was growing up my parents convinced me that mouthwash had to burn the top 2 layers of skin off of your mouth if it was working. If it didn’t make you gasp for life, then it wasn’t worth it. I’m not sure why we had to endure such torture, but I’m glad I made it to the other side to see the light that is natural mouthwash.

All the things to love about this Homemade Peppermint Mouthwash:

I love a fresh peppermint mouthwash, but some people have different tastes. A few alternative essential oil flavors that you could try:

Spicy Orange

Super Minty

Refreshing Citrus

*Note about this blend: You might want to store this in a glass container since the citrus essential oils can dissolve plastic.

This recipe is kid-friendly…provided your child has a handle on not swallowing mouthwash. You might want to dilute the recipe a little more if using on young children or use the citrus alternative above.
