Oxygen - nature's antiseptic
Oxygen - nature's antiseptic
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or as it is also called oxygen, we find it in the pharmacy of most people's homes as it is a popular product worldwide. It is the only germicidal substance from water and oxygen.
It is much more useful than most people think as:
Disinfects abrasions and wounds
Who doesn't remember when we were little and our mother would put oxygen on our bruised knees? It cleans and disinfects the bumps as it is a natural antiseptic.
It helps to whiten teeth
Effectively removes stains from teeth. Make a homemade toothpaste that you can use for up to 5 days by mixing hydrogen peroxide with baking soda and get your bright smile back.
Cleans toothbrushes
The bathroom is the place with the most germs. So dip the toothbrushes in oxygen to kill bacteria that are usually present in the bathroom such as staph.
It is a natural mouthwash
With an oxygen cap you can very easily rinse your mouth, whiten your teeth and kill the germs that cause bad breath.
Whitens your nails
Dip the tips of your fingers and toes to naturally whiten your nails.
Heals monks on the skin
Mix 230 ml of oxygen in warm water and soak the spot to treat the monkshood.
Cleanses your skin
Use it as a natural soap to wash your face and kill acne-causing bacteria. (Always ask your dermatologist before using for this reason)
It highlights your hair color
Spray on damp hair and let soak in for 10 – 15 minutes before rinsing for naturally sun-kissed hair.
It helps to treat foot calluses
Mix equal amounts of oxygen and warm water to naturally soften calluses and moisturize your feet.
Removes wax from your ears
Put a few drops in your ears for 1-2 minutes and then add 1-2 drops of olive oil. After about 1 minute, drain the fluid from your ears to remove the wax. (Always ask your otolaryngologist before using for this reason)
Relieves otitis
Put 6-8 drops in each ear to relieve otitis symptoms and treat infection. (Always ask your otolaryngologist before using for this reason)
Kills subcutaneous parasites
Apply it to the skin affected by pests such as mites, to eliminate them naturally.
Treats foot fungus
Dilute equal parts oxygen and water in a dark-colored spray bottle (we want dark because exposure to light weakens it) and apply it nightly to the area of skin affected by fungus to stop fungal growth.
Cleans tile surfaces
Use it directly by spraying on the tiles to remove stains and dirt.
Cleans and disinfects the toilet bowl
You can clean and remove bathroom sink stains by pouring about half a cup of hydrogen peroxide into the toilet bowl and letting it soak for at least 30 minutes.
Removes dirt from the bathtub
Spray it on stains and soap scum in the tub. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes and then rinse off to soften the dirt and make cleaning easier.
Can be used on fruits & vegetables
Spray fruits and vegetables with oxygen and let them soak for 1-2 minutes. Then rinse them with clean water to remove dirt, wax and more.
Whitens clothes
Pour about a cup of hydrogen peroxide into the water and leave the fabrics for 15-30 minutes to lighten dark or yellowish whites.
Removes organic stains
Mix 2 parts hydrogen peroxide with 1 part dishwashing detergent and put it on the stains (coffee, wine, blood, sweat, etc.) to remove them.
Refreshes moldy fabrics
Mix hydrogen peroxide with white vinegar and soak moldy fabrics and you will remove unwanted odors.
Cleans carpets & rugs
Spray it on light-colored carpets to "fight" stains from mud, food, etc. But be careful because it bleaches some fabrics. It may be best to try this technique on a small area of the carpet first.
Cleans dehumidifiers
Add 470 ml of oxygen to 4 liters of water, run the solution through the dehumidifiers to disinfect and any mold that may be inside them will be removed.
Improves seed germination
Soak the seeds in oxygen to remove fungal spores and increase the chances of germination.
Precautions:
Special care is needed as the liquid in large quantities as well as its vapors may cause burns to the skin and lungs.
Be especially careful not to swallow it when it comes to oral use.
Ingesting it can be harmful to your health and cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting and (in large enough quantities) even death. Hydrogen peroxide is only suitable for external use!
