Brighter Future! Brighter Smiles!
Many people have been using the same mouthwash all their lives, letting years and years pass without giving a second thought as to what they’re actually putting in their mouths. But here’s the shocking truth: over-the-counter mouthwash has not always been mouthwash.
In fact, the over-the-counter mouthwashes many people use every day have also been marketed as floor cleaners, hospital disinfectants, and hair products – not exactly the kinds of things you want to be putting in your mouth or giving your children. (1)
And unlike the ALCOHOL-FREE and ALL-NATURAL MOUTHWASHES on the market today, many of the over-the-counter mouthwashes still available are dangerous, and can cause potential short and long-term health problems beyond the scope (no pun intended) of your mouth and oral health.
In this blog we talk about the shocking truth and history behind over-the-counter mouthwashes, and how you can NATURALLY enjoy your FRESHEST BREATH and BRIGHTEST SMILE today!
WHAT USED TO BE
The first thing to know about mouthwash is that it is a very loaded word. For example, ancient people would rinse their mouth with vinegar and salt, then call it mouthwash. This marketing trick is still used today by over-the-counter mouthwashes, which is why you need to do your research when shopping.
The curious use of potentially dangerous ingredients in mouthwash hasn’t changed much. In the 1800s, the modern mouthwash was released, originally sold to be a floor cleaner. What’s even worse is that many over-the-counter mouthwashes still use dangerous ingredients like alcohol, claiming their products to be healthy and good for you when they're not. (2)
And if you think alcohol is a mouth-cleaning ingredient, know this: alcohol was originally used in mouthwashes not to help clean your mouth, but as a stabilizing agent for a general collection of dangerous chemicals and ingredients. (3)

Considering mouth bacteria was first realized in the 1700s, we’ll give the ancient people some slack. But there’s no reason alcohol – an ingredient used with ammonia three hundred years ago in mouthwash – should still be used today.

The dangerous ingredients in mouthwash were continually used for hundreds of years, and were even used for the sterilization of wounds in the nineteenth century. Not only that, but the ingredients were so dangerous that you needed a prescription for mouthwash as recently as the twentieth century. (5)
Unfortunately, the popularity of mouthwash has caused an increase in many different mouthwashes containing alcohol and other dangerous chemicals and artificial ingredients. This is such a major problem that the number of mouthwashes on the market has risen from fifteen to over a hundred in just a few decades. (6)

WHAT IT IS NOW
Now that we know the dangerous history of mouthwash, it’s important to know that hope is out there for solving your oral problems the RIGHT WAY. This is because there is so much more known about the power of natural ingredients like ESSENTIAL OILS and ACTIVATED CHARCOAL in oral care.
People are actually realizing that many time-tested but dangerous ingredients in oral care can actually hinder endocrine functionality, thus the need for ALL-NATURAL INGREDIENTS. Essential oils fill this void, as they are easily combined with other ingredients and can remedy oral disease, mouth pain, and even tooth decay. (7)

The essential oils the ancients may have had access to also help remedy inflammation, a common oral problem that can lead to gum problems and even worse oral problems down the line. Some of the best essential oils to use in oral care include PEPPERMINT OIL and TEA TREE OIL! (8)
WARNING: Over-the-counter mouthwash manufacturers have spent decades trying to find a market, leading to even more dangerous ingredients and uses. Use only the MOST NATURAL ingredients in a product meant just for your mouth – GARNER’S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL ORAL CARE TRIO! (9)
One of the reasons mouthwash has had such a tumultuous history is because of why people use it. Traditionally, people have used mouthwash mostly to freshen breath. Over-the-counter mouthwash manufacturers have claimed that only their dangerous chemicals and artificial ingredients can do this.
But what these over-the-counter manufacturers don’t tell you is that mouthwashes made without alcohol can also freshen your breath – while also providing the benefits of natural ingredients and simultaneously fighting dangerous plaque buildups. (10)
Over-the-counter mouthwashes also try to use artificial chemicals and ingredients to disguise the fact that there are two recognized kinds of mouthwashes – therapeutic and cosmetic. The differences are significant, as cosmetic mouthwash focuses on your breath, whereas therapeutic mouthwash focuses on the health of your mouth and the bacteria inside it. (11)
