A pharmacist shared some pertinent information about Peroxide that you all should know. Especially during the times that we are currently living in. Do any of you use it this way?
Most doctors will not tell you about peroxide. Have you ever smelled bleach in a doctor's office? No! Why? Because it smells, and it's not healthy!
Ask the nurses who work in the doctor's offices if they ever use bleach at home. They are wiser and know better! Most don't use bleach.
Peroxide was invented during WWI and was used to save and help cleanse the needs of our troops and hospitals.
Please think about this:
- Take one capful of hydrogen peroxide and hold it in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, and then spit it out. No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes that are filled with harmful chemicals like flouride. You can use this remedy in replace of mouthwash as well for much cheaper.
- Let your toothbrush soak in a cup of peroxide, just enough to fill past the brush line, and this will keep your toothbrush germ free and free of bacteria.
- Clean your counters and tabletops with peroxide to keep them germ free and leave a fresh clean smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe them down, or use a spray bottle and spray them down before wiping them. This will get rid of all the bacteria and germs that are harmful while also leaving them clean and fresh smelling. You can also use a solution of 50/50 water and peroxide and add a few drops of lemon oil or any other essential oil to make for a cleaner smell or a fresh smell that you desire. I personally like lemon or sandalwood scent so I'd just add a few drops to a small bottle and up to 5 or 10 for a larger bottle.
- After rinsing off a wooden cutting board, pour a little peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.
- If you have fungus on your feet, spray a 50/50 mixture part water and part peroxide on them every night and let them dry. Wash off as normal in the morning using natural and chemical free soaps for best results and the fungus will clear away quickly.
- Soak any infections or cuts in a 3% peroxide for 5-10 minutes several times a day. Her husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any medicine prescribed but was healed by soaking in peroxide. (Goes to show you why they don't mention peroxide in health-care and there is controversey about this among health care professionals today.) I don't think they like mentioning things that can cure you or take care of the issues you're experiencing rather then just manage your symptoms, to keep you as a customer for life.
- Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic systems like bleach or most other disinfectants will.
- Tilt your head back and spray 50/50 peroxide and water into the nostrils whenever you have a cold or a plugged nose and/or sinus. It will bubble up and help to kill the bacteria and free up your nasal passages. Hold for just a few minutes, and then blow your nose. If you need to, you can follow up with a netty-pot to clear away all the garbage that is in your sinuses as well.
- If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for 10 minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.
- If you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide burnt blond hair like the hair dye packages but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, reddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually, so it's not a drastic change.
- Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid of boils, fungus or other skin infections. I personally use up to 2 whole bottles sometimes in a bath remedy I have to help re-set the skins pH levels right away and makes my skin feel brand new! Like truly invigorating to use peroxide along with Essential Oils and Himalayan Salt or Epsom Salts. One of the best feelings ever! (I'll share a blog about my bath recipes as well, so keep an eye out for those as they're a real invigorating way to replenish the skin.)
- You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on your clothing, pour directly onto the soiled spot and let it sit for a few minutes, then rub it with cold water and repeat if necessary. This will make your whites just as white as using bleach and it isn't a harmful chemical for your skin. In fact it's great for your skin as it is an antiseptic cleanser.
- You can use peroxide to clean your mirrors and glass without smearing and leaving streaks, which is why you'll love it for cleaning glass as well.
- Another great place to use peroxide is around the floor of the toilet. As people, and especially kids, miss the toilet a lot, it'll leave a nasty pee smell around in your bathroom that won't seem to go away. With peroxide you can spray or douse around the toilet with peroxide and let sit for a few minutes before wiping away. You'll see the difference and in the blink of an eye, the smell will be gone and the bateria and stains that pee leaves will also wipe completely away while eliminating the bacteria as well.
- You can also reset your body's pH levels by spraying this mixture 50/50 on your whole body before a shower. You want to allow it to sit on your skin and dry a few minutes before jumping in the shower, but this will also leave your skin feeling energized and revived from all the harsh things that your skin can come into contact with.
I could literally go on an on about all the things that you can use peroxide for. It comes in a little brown bottle and no home should be left without it! It saves a ton of money rather then buying all of those other household products, you can replace them with a little bottle of peroxide for a fraction of the cost. You'll be glad that there is a way to save a ton of money in such a simple, healthy manner!
Doctors don't want to share anything holistic or natural for people because everyone is selling their products and want to keep people coming back. So please share how you use peroxide or any other natural products and holistics in the comments below. Let's all help each other keep the doctors visits and medical procedures far away from us as possible. Thanks!
