Tips on using Peroxide

Most of us have used this product for years for certain things. The health benefits of peroxide. This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana.

"I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little old bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars."


1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe ).

No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. (small print says mouth wash and gargle right on the bottle).

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of "Peroxide" to keep them free of germs.

3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.

4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.

5. I had fungus on my feet for years - until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.

6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any medicine, but was healed by soaking in peroxide.

8. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.

9. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, or plugged sinuses. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.
10. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.

11. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it's not a drastic change.

12. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.

13. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, Pour directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.

14. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors with, and there is no smearing which is why I love it so much for this.

I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without!
With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner.

******
#13 is what I do with the clothes. It actually works and it removes the blood off from the clothes immediately. I don't know about the other tips that is listed in here but it sounds worth the try.

Yes - I have done most of the tips and it's great. We keep at least 4 bottles in the house. Kitchen, bathrooms and first aid kit.

I have not tried for teeth whitening, though I could use something for that. It does kill canker sore in the mouth.

I keep peroxide, vinegar and baking soda in large quantities in the house.

Kristina, knowing how handy you are, what are some of your tricks with vinegar or baking soda? I'd love some new tricks! Ty!

Lavender

I use Soft Scrub with bleach cleaner for stain spot removal instead of peroxide or clorox bleach if my bottle went out or forgot to buy one.

__________________

KristinaB

Vinegar is a handy cleaner all around. I have a spray bottle of diluted vinegar for the bathroom and it keeps all the tile and faucets shiny and will remove water spots. I will use vinegar in the shower as it will make sure all the soap is off my body. I am allergic to soaps and cleaners, so that's an important one for me. We clean the stove top, MIL's microwave and coffee pots with vinegar once a week. With the coffee pots, we run a full pot of vinegar through the cycle and then 2 pots of water afterwards. It cleans all deposits and such from the innards and water lines.

Baking soda made into a paste will take the sting out of a sunburn, and bee, wasp, or yellow jacket stings. Baking soda paste is also a good thing to scrub your baking pans and corning ware dishes with. If I have stains on the Corelle dishware, the baking soda paste will also get those stains off. If there are sweaty stains in our clothes (think guys and outdoor doings), then 1 cup of baking soda in the washer with your detergent will clean those right out. After a while, towels get a funky smell, so wash with baking soda. Also, if you put baking soda in the washer with your sheets, they will be softer and smell fresher, which is great on those winter nights when you want something soft.

If I think of more, I will post them. That's just off the top of my head.

Cool, thanks!!!! I like these kinds of household tips that come from something so cheap to buy. Peroxide, vinegar, and baking soda all are inexpensive and useful compared to name brands that don't even always get the job done.

whatdidyousay!

You can also to Peroxide to made your dog to vomit if it ate something like a bag paper from a fast food place! Finlay found a McDonald bag and before I could get it out of his mouth he ate the whole bag!! I gave him some Peroxide
mixed with a little water and Finlay vomited it up within seconds! You have give the Peroxide according to how much your dog weight.

Boult

Ahh didn't see this tips back then but thanks Jolie77 for sharing this tips with us! awesome… I do #1 and #2 as well as brushing with peroxide with addition of baking soda.

Peroxide is good for disinfecting minor scraps and cuts.

But I don't see how it can be good if put inside your nose or mouth.

The mouth or particularly sinuses need salty environment, therefore it is necessary to rinse with saline solution - salty water in other words,
not peroxide.

unless, for a very limited period of time, then, maybe.

I would never use peroxide on open wounds. It kills the good bacteria as well as the bad ones. And think about it, it's bleach! if you won't put it on your eyes then why on a bleeding open wound? That never made any sense to me. Was pretty happily surprised seeing Dr Oz saying the same thing on his show.

whatdidyousay!

I been putting peroxide on cuts all my life and my cuts heals just fine. I would not waste my time listening to show TV doctor! When my dad got a bad cut he would pour table salt on it then let our Germain Shepherd lick his cut!!

DeafCaroline

Salt is exactly what I use to treat wounds. Works great. And it doesn't come with a hazard warning label. Nor does it kill the good cells, the good healing bacteria.

Hydrogen peroxide, like bleach, kills bacteria, fungi and viruses which is why it's used in cleaning kitchens, bathrooms and hospitals for example. But it's also corrosive so when one uses it on wounds, for the purpose of killing germs, they are killing more than that, they are killing healthy cells. Most doctors don't use it anymore and they strongly recommend against using it for wounds. There's a reason for that.

whatdidyousay!

And having a dog lick the wound help it heal. A dog mouth is a lot cleaner than people.

Oddball

No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. (small print says mouth wash and gargle right on the bottle).

What about canker sores on lower lip? I struggle to get rid of it by using Abreva, it seems not work well. Strangely, I had a canker sore on my upper lip and it healed faster and well than my lower lip.

Audiofuzzy

lol because if you put on any other disinfectant, it knows how to differentiate
between the good and bad bacteria ??? lolol

And don't tell me you would put like an iodine (used on open wounds, surgery)
or alcohol (also used on open wounds) in your eyes????

A little common sense, too, please.
While peroxide does have bleaching properties, there is a peroxide and peroxide.
The difference - %%%%

The one used for minor wounds and scratches is merely 3% peroxide while the one
for bleaching your hair - these go as high as 12% or 60 volume.

3% peroxide WON'T kill any healthy cell, it won't even kill the dead cell.

I suppose it is popular in Europe, maybe not here.

Unlike alcohol, peroxide comes with a warning label that says harmful if swallowed. My point about the eyes is that if you wouldn't put peroxide on your eyes, why put it in an open wound? your eyeballs are not going to be ruined if you accidentally spilt either alcohol or salt on them but they will if you put peroxide on them.

To quote you, a little commonsense please. In fact, google about peroxide hydrogen and wounds.

Actually, here's a quote about peroxide for you:

"CUTS AND SCRAPES Hydrogen Peroxide, Iodine, Rubbing Alcohol, Mercurochrome When the skin isn’t broken, it’s hard to beat iodine for killing bacteria. That’s why doctors use it to clean an area before surgery. But when there’s a cut, says dermatologist Robert Kirsner, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology, full-strength iodine, hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol can be toxic to skin cells, impeding healing. The chemical reaction (and bubbling) that occurs when hydrogen peroxide hits the skin isn’t only cleaning the wound — it’s killing healthy cells. And that stinging from the rubbing alcohol? This stuff hurts because it’s wiping out healthy tissue.

Putting iodine on cuts and wounds kills bacteria, says VanRooyen, but it won’t clean the wound. “You want to protect the good tissue, and iodine doesn’t do that.” Mercurochrome also kills bacteria, but as the name suggests, it contains mercury, which is toxic, and not generally recognized as safe, says the FDA. Today, doctors don’t use Mercurochrome."

if you want to use peroxide that even doctors won't use anymore and most of them recommend against using it, knock yourself out.

Me? I'd prefer to take the doctor's advice, not yours.

Audiofuzzy

well,

Number one, if you drink rubbing alcohol, or Seabreeze, or witch hazel
or any other disinfectant, you will become sick, too, as these are toxic
if swallowed, too.
And you shouldn't put neither in your eyes, either.

Simply talking, a lot of commonly used disinfectants have warning label "harmful if swallowed" or "for external use only" or "do not put in your eyes".


Number two,
you need to recognize that things like iodine come in different strengths, too.

Number three, of course a lot of disinfectants like iodine does not clean the wound, but it is not the role of disinfectant to actually clean the wound - it is to DISINFECT IT.
You clean the wound with sterilized water, then disinfect it.


Number four, a cut is actually an open wound, even if minor.

Number five, VanRooyen is not telling the whole truth - alcohol for example is commonly used, for example have you ever had your blood drawn? what do they use after to disinfect the prick?
And after the surgery? still iodine.
Why do the newborn babies have yellow bellies after their u-cord is cut? Iodine. and On open wound. sometimes, Pyoctanin.


Is all relative,
I am just saying you need to know your chemistry and biology to understand what are you talking about.
H20 is regular water, which means 3% peroxide is just one level up from this regular water.
It is not that strong a solution, but enough to kill for example, anaerobic bacteria.

I also used peroxide on scraps, abrasions, minor open wounds etc thru all my
childhood and I am fine.
The only thing dreaded about peroxide - it stings.
There sure are better things to disinfect for this fact alone, Polysporin for example.



Number six.
While I do recommend using peroxide, iodine and rubbing alcohol on MINOR
wounds up to a dollar in size
even I wouldn't pour such a stinging stuff on an anything bigger than that-
it's a common sense.
It's just hurts too much.

Except if absolutely necessary - in the absence of any other disinfectant, and the time is of great importance.

I still rather follow the advice of doctors, the majority of whom, strongly recommend against using peroxide on open wounds. I would not follow your recommendation especially considering you are not a doctor.

Do whatever you want and believe whatever you like.

Audiofuzzy

I also follow the advice of the doctors, European doctors.
They still have no problem with using peroxide on minor scraps and cuts.

And contrary to what you may believe, in some aspects European health safety standards are higher than American's.

The link you provided was to a site selling hydrogen peroxide, not to any European doctors recommending you use it.

If you can provide a source that states most doctors in Europe recommend hydrogen peroxide for cuts and open wounds, I'll shut up.

And contrary to what you might believe, some American and Canadian doctors have higher standards than some doctors in Europe.
