I love my smile. And, I don’t hate the dentist because I know that good dental care begins at home. Besides using doTERRA’s On Guard toothpaste, I rinse with mouthwash and floss one to two times a day. Since I became a doTERRA Wellness Advocate, I have been experimenting with creating my own self-care products.

Let me ask you: have you read the label to your mouthwash bottle lately? My mouthwash bottle contained a bright green solution with indecipherable words except Yellow 5 and Blue 1. Why am I using this?, I thought.

So, I decided to make my own, all-natural mouthwash.

What you Need

• A glass bottle
• 1 cup of distilled or purified water
• Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO)
• Sea Salt
• 20 drops of doTERRA essential oil (I used 10 Peppermint, 10 On-Guard)

Directions

• Add 1 cup of distilled or purified water to the glass bottle.
• Add 1/2 teaspoon of Fractionated Coconut Oil
  • Coconut oil has antibacterial, antifungal properties.
  • I love the way coconut oil lines my teeth during oil pulling, and I feel that it helps protect my teeth in my mouthwash.
• Add 1/4 teaspoon of Sea Salt
  • Salt has soothing properties and can help whiten your teeth.
• Add 20 drops of doTERRA essential oil
  • Get creative! I used Peppermint & On-Guard but you could use tea tree oil, cinnamon, lemon, wild orange, clove, or myrrh. Find what works for you.
• Close and shake the bottle vigorously.
• Open the bottle, take a swig and swish/gargle for 30 seconds. Spit it out in the sink.
• Feel good about using an all-natural mouthwash.

Note: Some people add baking soda for extra cleansing and whitening. Sometimes I add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon, sometimes I don’t.

Where to get your doTERRA Essential Oils

doTERRA has Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade oils, which means there are no impurities in the bottle. A bottle of lavender contains lavender. A bottle of lemon contains lemon. Nothing more, nothing less. All of doTERRA’s products are responsibly and ethically sourced from countries around the world.

I would love to help you get started with doTERRA.
