Top 10 Uses for Hydrogen Peroxide

Top 10 Uses for Hydrogen Peroxide

Two men walk into a bar. One orders H20.  The second says, “I’ll have some H20 too.”  The second man dies.

REPIN this to save for reference!

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) — the stuff you buy at the drugstore or grocery store — can be used around the house for all kinds of things.  In addition to cleaning and fighting infection in boo-boos, it can be used to whiten your teeth, your hair and your clothes. Hydrogen peroxide is considered the world’s safest, all-natural, effective sanitizer. Like ozone, it kills disease and microorganisms by oxidizing them. When hydrogen peroxide reacts with organic material it breaks down into oxygen and water.

The Hydrogen Peroxide we find at the drugstore or market is 3.5% Pharmaceutical Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). This product is not recommended for internal use. It contains an assortment of stabilizers which shouldn’t be ingested. Various stabilizers include: acetanilide, phenol, sodium stanate and tertrasodium phosphate.

Only 35% Food Grade hydrogen peroxide is recommended for internal use. At this concentration, however, hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxidizer and if not diluted, it can be extremely dangerous or even fatal. Any concentrations over 10% can cause neurological reactions and damage to the upper gastrointestinal tract. There have been two known fatalities in children who ingested 27% and 40% concentrations of H2O2. So, keep out of reach of children! If ingested, call poison control or 911 immediately.

Dr. Akilah El’s Celestial Healing Wellness blog covers dozens of uses for Hydrogen Peroxide.

Top 10 Uses for Hydrogen Peroxide

  1. Fight infection & care for wounds — use to clean wounds and sores
  2. Teeth whitening & toothbrush disinfectant — hold 1 cap full in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, rinse thoroughly; soak toothbrush in H2O2 to remove germs
  3. Whiten clothes — use 1 cup per load of laundry in washing machine
  4. Hair lightening — dilute 50/50 with water and spray on hair after washing
  5. Household cleaner (use on mirrors for streak-free clean, use in dishwasher for no spots on glasses, use along with vinegar on wooden cutting boards to kill Salmonella — do not mix the two solutions!)
  6. Clean and disinfect food (meat, veggies, fruit, etc.)
  7. Detoxifying bath — pour 2 quarts in a tub of water and soak in it for 30 minutes
  8. Fight foot fungus — each evening before bed, spray on feet, especially toes, and allow to dry
  9. Douche — add two cupfuls in warm distilled water once or twice per week to remove even chronic yeast infections
  10. Colonic / enema — add 1 cup to 5 gallons of warm water for colonic; 1 tablespoon to a quart of warm water for enema
