Hello, I have been looking for alternative oral care recipes and like the idea of using EO but have read from several dentists (even functional ones) that because EO’s have such good antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties, they also kill all the good oral microbes along with the bad ones. I’ve searched everywhere to try to find out if these claims are valid. It makes sense, so I’m supposing they are, but it is disappointing. And if this is the case, they would do the same to the skin microbiome also, right? This causes me to wonder if I should be using them at all? Any ideas?
