Chewable Papaya Mints

system, but they can also be used as a tasty breath mint. Papaya fruit
contains an enzyme called papain that can break down protein, while peppermint
leaves contain aromatic compounds that trigger the production of digestive
fluids. Tablets contain papaya fruit, peppermint leaf, fructose and sorbitol.
Chew 2 tablets with a meal three times daily, or use between meals as a breath
freshener. Easy to carry in your purse for use anytime. Stock No. 485-6
Healthy Tip
Natural Antiseptic
Hand Sanitizer Recipe
1 2-4 oz. squeezable plastic
container (you can find these containers with the small size items for travel)
Fill the bottle with Aloe Vera Gel; add 5-10 drops of Guardian Essential Oil.
Mix by shaking. Squeeze a small amount on your hands and rub. It will feel
sticky at first, but as it dries it will leave your hands sanitized and feeling
smooth.
The typical commercial hand sanitizer, which is usually alcohol-based, strips
the skin of the outer layer of oil, which normally prevents resident bacteria
from coming to the surface. Also, the alcohol base is very drying to the hands.
