3-Ingredient Herbal Mouthwash Recipe For Minty Fresh Breath!

Step 1:

Take a mason jar. Add 1 cup of distilled or filtered water. In case if you adding boiling water, make sure to let it cool down to lukewarm temperature, before adding in the other herbs.

Step 2:

Add half a cup of apple cider vinegar. Acidic content of the vinegar will not only neutralize the bad bacteria, but also break down plaque.

Step 3:

Take 3 to 4 cloves and grind them into fine powder. Add a teaspoon of the powder to the solution and stir it well with a spoon.

Step 4:

Next, add five drops of peppermint oil to the mouthwash. Other than turning your breath minty fresh, peppermint oil will also soothe your senses.

Step 5:

You can also add a couple of drops of lemon juice to the mixture. Rich in citric acid, lemon juice will remove any stains on your teeth, making them pearly white.

Step 6:

Close the lid on the mason jar. And place it in a cool, dry place and let it hibernate for a week. Later, using a cheesecloth or fine mesh, strain the solution.

Step 7:

When using it, shake the jar well. Take a mouthful of the solution. Swish it in your mouth, from left to right, for a minute or two and then spit out.

Step 8:

No need to rinse your mouth later. Avoid swallowing the solution and in case if you do, drink ample amount of water later.
