Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
Here is a list (in no particular order) of some fantastic
uses for Hydrogen Peroxide, besides the obvious “for cuts and scratches”… just do
a little research on how much and how often it should be used.
Oral rinse & tooth paste:
If you want a little boost,
combine baking soda and H202. Experts
say you should not use it daily though.
Disinfect everything from your chopping block, to your
toilet, to adding it to liquid hand soap. It will get rid of salmonella, mold
and many other types of bacteria.
Hair lightening: Spray it on your hair after your shower and
it will lighten it.
Landry: Use it on stains or to brighten your whites.
Plants: Add it soil to kill plant pests or spray it on your
plant to remove leaf pests. Be very careful about its strength. You can also add it to your water when you’re
watering your house plants which will add oxygen to the soil making them very
happy.
Skin: Dab a bit on pimples, acne or eczema. Do this
sparingly and apply a good moisturizer after use as it will dry out your skin.
Pets: If you furry loved one has a
skin rash or “hot spot” or if their ears are bothering them… try a little
Hydrogen Peroxide.
Ears: Put a bit of it in your ears to remove ear wax.
Common cold and flu: From what we have read, hydrogen
peroxide works quite well and is supposed to be effective 80% of the time,
especially if done when the symptoms first appear. While it seems contrary to
what we have been taught about colds and flu we know quite a few people who
have tried it with great success.
Foods: As a produce wash, to keep fruits and veggies fresh
longer. I’ve also read if you spray it on your lettuce and greens it will keep
them fresher.
Well Water: Hydrogen peroxide is effective at reducing many
of the problems associated with both residential and farm well water,
including, dissolved ferrous iron, iron slime, manganese, calcium and hydrogen
sulfide.
