Rinsing with salt water is a wonderful way to greatly reduce bad bacteria in the mouth as well as create a more alkaline environment. This is a great thing to do first thing in the morning or right after a meal or acidic snack such as citrus. Salt water rinsing is an easy way to neutralize the oral pH. This is important because an acidic oral environment lends to more “bad” bacteria that can lead to cavities, bad breath and inflammation of your gum tissue. Start with a glass container with a tight fitting lid (we’re gonna be shaking this up everyday). I use a recycled juice glass container from @unbakery, just make sure it’s 16oz or larger. Mix 1 tbsp pink Himalayan sea salt and 16 ounces of almost boiling water (spring water, non-fluoridated, non-chlorinated). This makes a good amount that will last you a while and I like to keep it in my bathroom for easy daily use.
