Use My Mouthwash for What??

Posted inHealthNo Comments

Next time you see your mouthwash on sale, you might want to pick up an extra bottle. Just be sure it is sugar free and alcohol based.

Growing up, mom had me use mouthwash for three things. Of course the first use was as a mouthwash. I also had to gargle with it before leaving the house if it was cold and flu season –I am not sure this was effective, but at least I had sweet smelling breath. The other use was as a treatment for dandruff. We would soak a cotton ball in mouthwash (listerene) and dab it on the scalp—wait a few minutes and then wash and condition as usual—and it worked!!

If you have Arthritis, off course, always check with your doctor before starting any new medicines supplements or exercise programs. I believe your doctor just might encourage you to walk. As I get older, “Arthur” has come to visit me and I started recently haveing sciatic problems.

I think most of us become more immobile when we are in pain (because it hurts to move) and that might be the worst thing we can do. Don’t think of exercise or walking as an Olympic sport or think you have to spend grueling hours exercising. Just small changes can help with arthritis pain and stiffness. See our blog article on the lady who started out just walking in her house 4 times a day.
