- The GG's Final Thoughts: I was never really a mouthwash kind of girl (probably part of the problem). Brushing & flossing, yes. But mouthwash, no. I always hated the way it burned first thing in the morning... like flash-backs of flaming pre-party shots on a wild girl's night out, ick! Surprisingly enough though this is quite a pleasure to use... morning or evening... a much gentler approach to sensitive gums, teeth and an overall clean mouth! Yippie! It's not too minty or too herbal like I anticipated. Plus, you can adjust the strength as you'd like. I put a few drops in the glass (usually about 5-10), then add warm water. I can't even complain about the price with this product (that's a first, I know). I can't believe this one tiny little bottle can make a whole entire gallon of mouthwash... that's just NUTS! I will probably seriously have this for the rest of my life! My only real gripe is that I wish the cap doubled as the drinkable measuring cup type like on most conventional brands. Yikes, sorry Weleda! Since it doesn't, I keep an old sorority shot glass in my bathroom cabinet for this purpose (yes, I wiped the dust off it... tear, sniffle, sniffle)... Lord knows I don't drink Jager out of it anymore, Lol... might as well put it to good use, ha ha! Don't judge ;) I can't help but wonder if there are any plans for other flavors like oh, say... MINT in the near future? Thanks Weleda! Muah xo
