"I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little O'L
bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under
$1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical field for
over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you
about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars.
1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the
bottle)and
hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I
do it
when I bathe or shower.) No more
canker sores and your teeth will be whiter
without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash.
2. Let your toothbrushes soak a cup peroxide to keep them free
of germs.
3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs
and leave a
fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe,
or spray
it on the counters.
4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on
it to
kill salmonella and other bacteria.
5. I had fungus on my feet for years - until I sprayed a 50/50
mixture of
peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and
let dry.
6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten
minutes
several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would
not heal
with any medicine, but was healed by!
soaking in peroxide.
7. Put two capfuls into a douche to prevent yeast infections.
For chronic
yeast infections, use once or twice a week.
8. 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
system like
bleach or most other disinfectants will.
9. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50
mixture
whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and
help to kill
the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into
tissue.
10. 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
ten minutes
several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.
11. And of course, 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 blonde hair like the hair dye
packages, but more
natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or
dirty blonde.
It also lightens gradually so it's not a drastic change.
12. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid
boils, fungus,
or other skin infections.
13. 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
clothing, pour
directly on the soiled spot. Let it! sit for a minute, then rub
it and rinse
with cold water. Repeat if necessary.
14.
You can lighten yellowed or stained
fingernails (re: from polish) and toenails
with
peroxide by soaking them.
It works and gets them nice and white again. Do this daily
until you get
the stain out. You can soak them or dab on with a cotton swab.
15.
Use peroxide to clean my mirrors with, there is no
smearing, which is
why I love it so much for this I
use alcohol
to clean my TV and computer screen.
It is a little brown bottle no home should be
without!
With prices of most necessities
rising, I'm glad there's a way to
save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner!
If you have a great use for peroxide,
email it to me and I will add it to
the list.
