Place 1/2 cup of Pepermint Leaves and 1/2 cup of sage leaves in the bottom of a glass container. Cover Herbs with Glyserin and shake daily for 2 weeks. Strain herbs. This concentrate may be diluted with water. Try using 1 TBS. concentrate to 1 cup water. Ive used the vodka method and it works very well. > - ------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Chris, I have one i have not tried yet but I think you could add or subsitute in it.. here it is. Mouthwash Ingredients: 4 oz. Water 4 oz. Vodka (vodka may be substituted for water or a pure rosemary tea infusion) 4 teaspoons Liquid Glycerine (available at many drug stores) - optional and simply sweetens the mouthwash 10-12 drops Peppermint or Spearmint Essential Oil 5 drops Myrrh (optional - Myrrh can assist in mouth and gum care) Notes: This recipe makes a rather minty mouthwash but as it contains no added flavorings, it is not as sweet or strong as commercially available mouthwashes. Directions: Boil the water and vodka then add the glycerine. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Add the essential oils and let cool for 1/2 hour and bottle. I like to bottle the mouthwash in a clear plastic bottle that has a flip top to make it easy to pour the mouthwash into a small dixie cup for use.
