12 AMAZING USES OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Immune System Booster
There’s a natural mechanism in the body that produces hydrogen peroxide through leukocytes (white blood cells). This hydrogen peroxide eliminates toxins, viruses and bacteria from the body, thus strengthening our immune system.
Water Purifier
Only a pint of hydrogen peroxide can purify a gallon of water, making sure it stays safe and sanitary.
Antiseptic mouth rinse
Use a cap full of hydrogen peroxide as a mouth rinse to whiten teeth and kill germs causing bad breath. A great mouth rinse that can be used every day, hydrogen peroxide has proved highly efficient and low-cost.
Common Cold
It is believed that only a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in your ears can ward off common colds.
Toothpaste
Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to make homemade toothpaste that will not only remove stains from your teeth, but also kill germs when used daily.
Remove ear wax
Another common use of hydrogen peroxide is for removing ear wax. Put a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide into your ears, wait a minute or two, then follow up with a couple of drops of olive oil. Wait another minute, then drain fluid from ears to remove ear wax.
Health
As mentioned above, the body has a natural mechanism which produces hydrogen peroxide to fight off various infections. It is the sub-class of leukocytes known as Neutrophils that produce hydrogen peroxide as the primary defense against toxins, bacteria, parasites, viruses and yeast.
Eye Care
Among other things, hydrogen peroxide can also be used for contact lens cleaning as it effectively removes dust that can accumulate on the lenses over time.
Sinus Infections
For treatment of blocked sinuses, dissolve a tablespoon of 3% Hydrogen peroxide to 1 cup of non-chlorinated water to make a nasal spray. If your symptoms are more severe, you can use a larger dose of hydrogen peroxide.
Toothache pain
To efficiently treat toothache, make a gargle with a mix of some coconut oil with hydrogen peroxide. The antibacterial effects of hydrogen peroxide will kill bacteria casing the toothache.
Disinfect your hands
Hydrogen peroxide is a natural anti-septic, which is why it is commonly used to clean wounds to prevent infection. Also, it can be used for hand washing.
Keep your vegetables fresh
If you want to keep your fruits and veggies fresh, soak them in a sink full of cold water with about ¼ a cup of food-grade hydrogen peroxide added to it for about 15 minutes before rinsing them in clean water to remove dirt, wax, and other contaminants.
Treat animal wounds
Hydrogen peroxide can also be used to treat animal wounds just like human wounds. The wound will heal faster.
