dōTERRA OnGuard® Mouthwash
OnGuard Mouthwash is an alcohol-free rinse flavoured with the OnGuard blend — wild orange, clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary — plus a touch of myrrh and wintergreen, rather than the usual spearmint most mouthwashes lead with. Xylitol and glycerin make up the base.
The taste is warm and spiced rather than sharp and minty, closer to a mouthwash version of a chai spice mix than the bright blue rinses most people grew up with. A capful swished for up to a minute is the usual routine, and it is not meant to be swallowed.
It fits into a normal morning-and-night routine alongside brushing, and the 473ml bottle is large enough to last a good while even used twice a day. Anyone who finds mint overpowering, especially first thing in the morning, tends to prefer it.

Common questions
Does it contain alcohol?
No. It is formulated without alcohol, so it does not have the sharp sting typical of a lot of mainstream mouthwash.
What does it taste like compared with normal mouthwash?
Warm and spiced rather than minty — wild orange, clove and cinnamon come through first, with a cooler eucalyptus and wintergreen note underneath.
How much should I use, and how often?
Follow the label — generally a capful swished for up to a minute, morning and night after brushing, then spit out rather than swallow.
How long does a 473ml bottle last?
Used twice a day, expect it to last a couple of months per person, much like any other mouthwash of this size.
