Salt Mouthwash.

In honor of my consistently troubled throat. I didn't measure exactly, but this should come close.

2 Tbls. salt (regular type)
5-10 drops essential oil
1 1/2 cups water

Pour the salt into a glass container with a narrow mouth. Don't use a container with any metal, as the salt rusts it pretty much immediately. Add the essential oil. Close the container and shake to distribute the oil. Add the water and shake again to dissolve the salt.

Take a small shot to gargle and rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth, or any other time. (Don't swallow it). Follow by rinsing your mouth with water.

I like to use breathing/clarifying essential oils, for example, out of my current stash, oils like eucalyptus, any kind of mint, pine, rosemary. I used eucalyptus for this batch. The oil came out a lot faster than expected, so I didn't count the drops accurately, but you don't want a lot.
