    Homemade toothpaste

    Small amount of water
    1 tsp baking soda
    A small container store in fridge grab use as needed until it gone then repeat

    Whitening do 1x a week or less can wear away enamel - add 1/2tsp peroxide to the above recipe

    Sage mouthwash- (helps with mouth ulcers y gingervitis folks say)
    3oz boiling water
    Sage leaves
    Teaspoon salt 🧂
    Let cool then gargle

    Salt water mouthwash for sore throats
    1 Tsp salt 🧂
    3oz boiling water
    Let cool then gargle

    Another mouth wash oldest fashion
    On the trail hard liquor 🥃 small amount was swished in the mouth y throat spit out or swallowed depending on the guy lol 😆.
    Did it work? Don’t know but sure they loved it. Usually was Vodka even myth busters proved it works. Can also swish it around to numb mouth pain. Swish whiskey for a sore throat. (I’m allergic to alcohol since birth so can’t tell you if it’s super strong or not if worried it’s too strong ask someone you trust cause hard alcohol the name makes me suspect it’s strong)
