- 3 drops Germ Fighter Essential Oil

Notes
- I LOVE Plant Therapy on Amazon. They have a wide variety of essential oils and blends. You can find their shop here.
- Essential oils are very powerful, so please use caution when handling and using them. Do not swallow this mouthwash and keep it out of reach of children.
I use the term “adjust to taste” loosely. Basically, you can add another drop of any of these oils, but due to the fact that essential oils are highly concentrated, I personally wouldn’t add any more. - This recipe can easily be doubled, but smaller batches ensure consistent (and desired) flavors.
- I recommend swishing every other day, after brushing your teeth.
