As promised, when I run out of an essential, I’m replacing it with a Less Waste Product (when possible). As kismet as it could be, the very next essential to go was mouthwash.
Therefore I picked up some dried yarrow and made a light infusion out of it to create my mouthwash. I love this herb and always have. Especially topically for skin! But what a perfect herb to use as a mouth rinse for its wound healing, pain relieving, and its massive bacteria killing properties.

2 Tbl Dried Yarrow
