Natural medicinal mouthwash from cardamom
Do you want a very fresh homemade mouthwash?
If yes, then this recipe is a fresh, sooo fresh mouthwash:
Ingredients:
- 20 g of fresh cardamom seeds.
- Half cup of oxygen peroxide (at 4%) from pharmacy.
- Three and half cups of clean water.
- Five spoons of antiseptic alcohol or strong vodka
Put those ingredients inside a glass container and ready, that’s your mouthwash.
This formula makes a liter with a peroxide concentration of 0.5%, that can make your teeth whiter as you use it.
Hydrogen peroxide is the secret ingredient of whiteners for clothing and teeth.
Also, peroxide is a natural substance produced by many living cells to fight against invasive bacteria, so this wash protect our mouth from streptococcus mutans, the bacteria of caries.
Equally, cardamom not only adds a pleasant and fresh breath, but also it provides antioxidant substances, improves digestive system, detoxify our body, and ....maaaaany other beneficial effects. I’m just talking about a total vegetal treasure.
And the alcohol?
Well, that unknown substance...mmm, Is only the fun part of this post🤪, but it also helps to extract good substances from cardamon and to preserve the stability of the mouthwash.
Have fun!!!!

Congratulations, your post has been selected to be included in my weekly Sustainability Curation Digest for the Minnow Support Project.
Hey thanks for the recipe! I have some extra cardamon seeds and could use the extra power of the peroxide to whiten my teeth. I think I'll give it a try.
Yes @porters, this reipe is worth to try. When you have it you´ll see what I mean. Its taste becomes more cardamon charged as time runs.
Okay! Thanks for the extra info!
This sounds great! I haven't used mouthwash in a long time since I don't like the ingredients in most of the ones in the store, but I may have to try this. I love cardamom!

Please try it @plantstoplanks and tell me your opinion. I think you´ll be satisfied.
Ok... this is really cool and yes, cardamom is a treasure. I've been making my own mouthwash for years, but quite differently & that's clearly a topic for a whole separate post. 😉 Nice contribution!!
