I've read that alcohol-based mouthwashes can harm your teeth and gums, and that oil-based ones are much better at inhibiting bacteria growth and freshening your breath. I could never find any oil-based mouthwashes in stores though, so what luck that you posted this recipe. I had to order a six dollar bottle of peppermint oil from the Amazon.com, but in the long run this homemade mouthwash ends up costing less than the store-bought kind. It seems to work well too, and is refreshingly minty without burning. [Made & Reviewed for PRMR] -
Very refreshing! I used a few extra drops and swished for a minute. Thanks for sharing!

I have a Farmers Market stand where I sell breads and sweets. I am really enjouing my stand, as I get to make all kinds of breads, although the sweets are the big attraction! I am married to theworlds most wonderful man, have an aan amazingly brilliant child (of course I would say that!). In short, I am a verry happy, cheerful woman. Baking bread is my passion, but I love to cook anything. </p>
<p>I have two great dogs, Jack and Lucy, a black lab and a boxer/pitbull mix, respectively.</p>
