DIY: Homemade Mouthwash

If you have been following my DIY series, you know by now that I am a fan of making my own products using my essential oils. Here is another easy, cost effective recipe for you!

Conventional mouthwash can be filled with questionable ingredients. This easy, cost effective DIY: Mouthwash is another way to use your oils, stay away from toxins, and keep your wallet happy.


DIY: Homemade Mouthwash



What You Need:
  •  A container to keep your mouthwash. I recommend a dark glass bottle if possible.
  • 2 cups distilled or boiled water
  • 10 drops essential oil/s of your choice. Feel free to use a combination of oils if you choose (my recommendations below).
How To:
  •  Simply mix the distilled/cooled boiled water with the 10 drops of essential oil in a bottle and you are done!
  • To use: simply take a small sip, swish around and spit.

Cost Breakdown:

In this DIY there are only two costs, the container that you will hold your mouth wash and the essential oils. Because containers will vary I will show the cost breakdown for the essential oils instead.

It depends on what oil you use: range .40 - 2.08 per mouthwash recipe. This recipe is all natural, easy to make and TOXIN free.

1.5 liters = about 6 cups. which equates to about $1 per cup. 

Our recipe is still most cost effective!
