It would also be the perfect mouthwash to use after oil pulling with cinnamon or oil pulling with cloves.

Ingredients

This DIY mouthwash recipe is prepared with distilled water, cinnamon essential oil, clove essential oil, and colorant.

1. Distilled Water

Distilled water is the standard type of water used for making DIY mouthwash. For good reasons, faucet water is a no-no unless you are in an emergency. Then you can make a tiny batch of the mouthwash to use all at once.

2. Cinnamon Essential Oil

Cinnamon essential oil is tasty, sweet, and spicy antimicrobial oil. It is very spicy, so a drop or two can go a long way. Since it has a natural sweet taste, you do not need to use a xylitol sweetener. This is true even when combined with a drop or two of the more bitter, yet equally spicy tasting clove essential oil.

3. Clove Essential Oil

Clove essential oil is a powerful antimicrobial that smells wonderful and tastes spicy. The clove oil is spicy, but not very sweet in taste. Therefore, cinnamon oil and clove oil pair well together. However, of greater importance is the fact that one of the active ingredients in clove essential oil is used by dentist to disinfect areas of the teeth. They do so to prevent infections before proceeding with a dental procedure. So, clove essential oil is a very nice addition to any mouthwash!

4. Colorant

To complement the sweet and spicy taste of this cinnamon DIY mouthwash, less than a drop of red food coloring is added. It is an optional ingredient. However, it is kind of a nice extra.

DIY Mouthwash (Rosemary Mint)

This rosemary mint flavored DIY mouthwash is another effective antibacterial mouthwash. The flavor of this mouthwash goes well with the rosemary mint tooth powder and the DIY oil pulling recipe with rosemary. Once you make your own mouthwash for the first time, you may keep making your own. It is a really quick and easy DIY mouthwash recipe. And what is more, it works just as well as the next mouthwash!

Ingredients

This rosemary mint flavored DIY mouthwash is prepared with distilled water, rosemary essential oil, peppermint essential oil, colorant, and sweetener.

1. Distilled Water

The DIY mouthwash is technically prepared with a popular preservative that many skin care companies use. However, you should still use distilled water. In this way, the mouthwash is started with a microbe free solution. Faucet water contains microbes and other stuff that you do not want to use to make your mouthwash and sit it on the counter. It is also a good idea to make relatively small batches of the mouthwash. The recipe is made for a travel-sized container that may still last a little longer than you would think.

2. Rosemary Essential Oil

Rosemary essential oil is an earthy smelling, potent antibacterial that can act like a preservative. Therefore, this DIY mouthwash can be used to easily freshen the breath and destroy cavity causing bacteria.

3. Peppermint Essential Oil

The peppermint essential oil is another antibacterial oil that is perfect for making mouthwash. With its minty cool taste, it complements the earthy smelling and tasting rosemary essential oil well.

4. Colorant

A tiny amount of liquid green food coloring is added to this rosemary mint DIY mouthwash. It is an optional ingredient, but it adds an authentic touch to this mouthwash recipe. An entire drop will be too much for the recipe below. Just touch the inside of the container with a dap of colorant. Then, when you shake the ingredients together, the mouthwash will turn a pretty light green color.

5. Sweetener

Since this is a mouthwash, you want to use an artificial sweetener to sweeten the taste of your mouthwash. Real sugar causes cavities and promotes bacterial growth. Therefore, the last thing you want to do is bath your teeth in sugary mouthwash. On the other hand, xylitol sweetener can be used to both sweeten and protect the teeth from cavity causing bacteria growth.

DIY Mouthwash Recipe:

• 2.7 oz. Bottle with Cap
• 5 tbsp. Distilled Water
• 2 drops Rosemary Essential Oil (Food Grade)
• 2 drops Peppermint Essential Oil (Food Grade)

Coconut oil has so many beneficial properties for our general health and well-being. So, there is no surprise that is also very beneficial for this DIY oil pulling recipe with cloves.

Being able to go beyond just the surface of the mouth, coconut oil provides a really deep cleaning for your oral cavity. As a broad-spectrum antimicrobial it not only destroys bacteria, but it can also destroy viruses like cold sores and yeast cells like candida. Regarding its ability to increase blood flow, our blood is the body’s transport system.

Refined coconut oil is easy to mix with essential oils because it does not smell or taste like coconut oil. Unrefined coconut oil smells and tastes just like coconut. So, if you enjoy the taste and smell of coconut, it is definitely an excellent choice as well.

2. Clove Essential Oil

Clove essential oil can help fight infections in the mouth, teeth, and gums. While destroying odor causing bacteria, it freshens breath with its intense spicy flavor and aroma. This wonderfully aromatic spice is also included in the re-mineralizing tooth powder in its powdered form. Clove essential oil is not only a powerful antibacterial, but also a pain reliever. According to research, some dentists use this clove oil to disinfect root canals and alleviate pain in the affected area. In this way, it is being used to fight or prevent infections in the mouth. Keep in mind that like cinnamon, clove essential oil is naturally quite spicy.

Cinnamon Mouthwash Tablets

These cinnamon mouthwash tablets are currently my absolute favorite mouthwash tablets! While I like the strong minty flavor of the peppermint mouthwash tablets and the antibacterial properties of the rosemary mouthwash tablets, the cinnamon mouthwash tablets taste almost like cinnamon candy. And the really cool part is that it is all naturally provided by the essential oils used to make these mouthwash tablets.

Feel free to jump to the cinnamon mouthwash tablets recipe at the end. However, I will start by briefly explaining each ingredient used to make the mouthwash tablets.

Baking Soda

This is an alkaline powder that can adjust the pH of your mouth. When the pH of your mouth is ever so slightly alkaline, it can prevent or minimize cavity causing bacterial growth. This ingredient is also mildly abrasive and often used in popular toothpaste brands and toothpowder recipes to help remove coffee and tea stains from the teeth.

Cream of Tartar

This is an all natural ingredient that helps to bring these DIY mouthwash tablets together. It is a common ingredient found in many baked goods.

Vitamin C

This is a natural antibacterial agent that the body needs to maintain the health of your teeth and gums. It is also a mild preservative. If you purchase a vitamin C powder, taking the vitamin C as a supplement can also greatly benefit the health of your teeth and gums. If you are interested in healing gum disease or cavities, you may also be interested in the health benefits of collagen and health benefits of sugar free DIY gummy bears.

Cinnamon Essential Oil

While many love the smell and taste of cinnamon, many do not realize what a powerful little spice this turns out to be. For the purpose of oral care, it destroys bacteria in the mouth that can cause cavities and gum disease. It is also a natural preservative that can help maintain the freshness of your cinnamon mouthwash tablets.

Clove Essential Oil

If you like nostalgic cinnamon flavored candies or cinnamon flavor gums, you may be surprised to know that you may actually be more of a clove fan. So, the clove essential oil is what make these delightful tasting cinnamon mouthwash tablets what they are. Besides the taste, some dentists use eugenol, a chemical that is contained in cloves and cinnamon, to kill germs on your teeth and your gums^[3]. So, this ingredient is definitely not all about the taste. It is a potent antibacterial that can destroy germs in the mouth that can lead to cavities and gum disease.

Food Coloring

In spite of what it looks like, a red food coloring has been added to this very pleasant tasting cinnamon mouthwash tablets. While the mouthwash tablets look more orange in color, when you use it to rinse your mouth or to brush your teeth, the resulting color is indeed red. With that said, both the cinnamon and the clove essential oils are a deep orange or amber color. So, the essential oils take over the color that the eyes can see.

Coconut Oil

A whole lot can be said about coconut oil. It is just one of many miracles of nature! So, to keep it concise, coconut oil can help pull bacteria and toxins from the teeth and gums. It also increases blood flow. Therefore, this oil can improve the health of your teeth and gums significantly.

Distilled Water

Use a distilled water to make your DIY mouthwash tablets. Most of the other ingredients are naturally powerful antibacterial agents that will preserve the freshness of the cinnamon mouthwash tablets. However, it is still best not to introduce a tap water that will have some things you do not want in your mouthwash tablets.

Cinnamon Mouthwash Tablets

Yields: 25 (1/8 teaspoon sized scoops)

• 1/8 tsp. Clove Essential Oil (I used Guru Nanda Clove Oil)
• 1 drop Red Food Coloring
• 1/2 tsp. Virgin Organic Coconut Oil

2. Now add baking soda, cream of tartar, vitamin C powder, and powdered food coloring (if using a powdered colorant). Use a spoon to stir and press out any clumps.
3. Next add the food grade cinnamon essential oil, clove essential oil, and the drop of food coloring (if you are using a liquid food coloring instead).
4. Mix the essential oil and colorant into the powder well. Then add the virgin coconut oil and distilled water. If the coconut oil is solid or the water is cold, warm it slightly before mixing it into the mouthwash tablets mixture. Coconut oil becomes a solid around 74-76 degrees Fahrenheit. So, if you live in a cold area, you may have to work in a warm room near the heater.
5. Now you can line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Use a 1/8 teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop and shape the cinnamon mouthwash tablets into semi flattened balls.
6. When finished, place the mouthwash tablets in a cool dry area to let them dry for about 3-5 hours.
7. The mouthwash tablets will not become rock hard, but they will harden enough for you to handle without them easily breaking in your hands.
8. However, once you place one of the mouthwash tablets in your mouth, they will quickly dissolve for you to use as a mouthwash or toothpaste (if wanted).

How to Use Mouthwash Tablets

1. Place the tablet in your mouth…it will immediately start to dissolve.
2. At this point, you can wet the bristles of your toothbrush to brush your teeth with the tablet. Or, take a sip of water to use it as a mouthwash.
3. Simply swish it around in mouth for a minute or two.
4. Then, gargle, spit, and rinse your mouth out with fresh wash.
5. Spit the second rinse out as well.

2. Now you can add the baking soda, cream of tartar, vitamin C powder, and powdered food coloring (if you are going to use a powdered food colorant). Use a spoon to stir the mixture well. Mash any lumps that you see until the powder for the mouthwash tablets is completely smooth.
3. Now add the food grade rosemary essential oil and the drop of liquid food coloring (if you are using a liquid food coloring instead).
4. Mix the essential oil and colorant into the powder well. Then add the virgin coconut oil and distilled water. If the oil is solid, warm the oil before mixing it into the mouthwash tablets mixture and work in a warmer room to keep the oil liquid while you make the mouthwash tablets.
5. Now you can line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Use the 1/8 teaspoon measuring spoon to measure and shape the mouthwash tablets.
6. Sit the tablets in a cool dry area to let them dry for about 3-5 hours. I live in a very humid area and sometimes it only took a couple of hours to dry. But different oils and ingredients may dry differently.
7. The mouthwash tablets will not become rock hard, but they will become hard enough for you to handle without them falling apart when you touch them.

How to Use Mouthwash Tablets

1. Once you place one of the dried mouthwash tablets in your mouth, they will quickly dissolve for you to use as a mouthwash or toothpaste (if needed or wanted).
2. At this point, you can either wet the bristles of your toothbrush to brush your teeth with it or take a sip of water to use it as a mouthwash.
3. Simply swish the mouthwash around in mouth for a minute or two.
4. Then, gargle, spit, and rinse your mouth out with fresh wash.
5. Spit the water rinse out of your mouth as well.

These DIY mouthwash tablets are easy and kind of fun to make with the wonderful soothing smell of peppermint filling the air.

So, let’s get to this easy DIY mouthwash tablets recipe. I will start with a basic explanation of each ingredient used. But you can skip ahead to the peppermint mouthwash tablets recipe located at the bottom of the page.

Baking Soda

Cavities and oral health problems develop in an acidic environment that can start with the foods you actually eat. Well, baking soda is an all natural alkaline powder that can neutralizes the acidity of your mouth. In doing so, it can retard bacteria growth and get rid of bacteria in the mouth. Being slightly abrasive, it can also be used to help remove stains from the teeth.

Cream of Tartar

Cream of tartar is an all natural thickening agent that is used to make the mouthwash tablets. It is found naturally in plants and it is also produced as a result of winemaking. So, even though you will not be swallowing the peppermint mouthwash tablets, the ingredient is a highly ingestible food product.

Vitamin C

Our teeth and gums need Vitamin C to stay healthy and strong. However, being able to kill bacteria, this powder can also double as a preservative. Therefore the Vitamin C is a win-win in the DIY peppermint mouthwash tablets recipe that you do not want to skip. With that said, however, taking a daily Vitamin C supplement will likely be even more beneficial to the health of your teeth and gums instead of just brushing with a powder that contains Vitamin C powder.

Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint essential oil makes your mouth feel cool and minty fresh. It is also an analgesic. So, it can help to alleviate minor toothaches and pains. In addition, it can also kill bacteria in the mouth that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. So, it can help prevent and get rid of cavities.

Blue Food Coloring

The blue food coloring is completely optional. A regular primary blue food colorant was add to this peppermint mouthwash tablets recipe. However, the color changes drastically to a deep turquoise blue as it dries. So, it is a fun color to work with. On a more beneficial note, the color blue can neutralize the yellow stains on your teeth making them look whiter. Ideally, you should use a blue food coloring powder instead of a liquid to help maintain the freshness of your peppermint mouthwash tablets.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a natural antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. It naturally increases blood flow in the gums and teeth. Therefore, this oil can help keep or get your teeth and gums healthy and strong. Coconut oil is a very popular oil used for oil pulling. It is definitely my favorite oil to work with as I have worked with it for many years now.

Distilled Water

You definitely want to use distilled water in your DIY peppermint mouthwash tablets and let the tablets dry completely before storing them in the refrigerator. The refrigerator will help keep them fresh longer. However, they are full of natural preservatives.
