Conventional mouth washes are mixes of many chemicals, many of which are toxic. For example, chlorhexidine which dulls the sense of taste, can cause harm to the heart and increases tartar build up. Methyl salicylate has been linked to child deaths. Alcohol kills both good and bad bacteria causing an imbalance between fungus and bacteria in the mouth. The mouth is lined with mucus membranes which are very efficient at absorbing chemicals into the bloodstream meaning it the last place you want to frequently expose to toxic chemicals. Our peppermint extract with colloidal silver and pure distilled water mouthwash has only three ingredients all of which are completely non-toxic and natural. The antibacterial properties effectively combat bad breath instead of slowing down saliva production like alcohol does. It also leaves a pleasant gentle minty taste and aroma.
