Homemade mouth wash

1-2 drops anise essential oil
1-2 drops rosemary essential oil
1-2 drops spearmint essential oil
and or 1-2 drops peppermint essential oil
1-2 drops tea tree oil
Fill bottle with distilled water. Shake before using. I used a pint bottle to make this.

Jeff said it had a bit of a bitter taste at first and I think that is due to using the tea tree oil. He said he did not mind the taste after the first time he used it. I got rid of all traces of bad breath. The combination of essential oils should help with oral health. Jeff said that the minty smell stays with him.

If I was making this to have a longer shelf life I would add 1 tsp of myrrh as a natural preservative.
