In your quest to have a toxic-free home, I am sure you have come across your dental products and wondered if there is a better alternative. Years ago when I first started making replacements for toothpaste, I started with those that didn't have food dye in them. That was a step in the right direction, right? Of course! Then I started looking for more “natural” options and found that there are LOTS of options on the market. Currently I am loving the Thieves Toothpaste from Young Living.
My husband and I have been big fans of mouthwash for years! Listerine has always made it into our cart at Costco. Not too long ago, I started searching for a better option. There has to be a mouthwash out there that isn't blue and is better for us! After reading through many DIY mouthwash recipes, I realized that making mouthwash is easy and is totally customizable to my family's tastes!
My husband and I LOVE peppermint mouthwash. I just love that minty-ness that lingers after I swish. My kids on the other hand think peppermint mouthwash is too spicy. Since I would like them to use this mouthwash for remineralizing and brightening purposes, I decided to make them a kid approved mouthwash recipe of their very own!
I am amazed at how many uses I have discovered for my Young Living Essential Oils. It seems like I find a new way to use them every day. I am so blessed to have them in my tool box! They have made detoxifying my home so easy! But, does the task seem overwhelming to you? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Check out this awesome PDF that we created just for YOU!

Seems like a good recipe, would this mouth wash be appropriate for a 3 yearold?
I would use it with my kiddos! -Kelly
ok great,I’ve been looking for a good kid friendly mouthwash. I’m assuming there isn’t any harm if accidentally swallowed?
How long will this stay good on a shelf ?
