"The tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic and I love that for a mouthwash. It doesn't leave my mouth dry like other mouthwashes with alcohol in them. It also doesn't have harmful flouride in it, and it doesn't have a strong taste."

"The taste is a little different from regular mouthwashes, but its worth it knowing you aren't putting harmful chemicals in your mouth and no alcohol to dry your mouth and gums out either. No alcohol in your mouthwash is actually recommended by dentists as it drys your gums which can be harmful."

"This is a good little organic mouthwash. It's definitely a great follow-up for brushing your teeth. However, if you want to use it to gargle after a spicy or onion-y meal, it probably won't cover up the offenses."

"I have never been able to use brand name mouthwash products because the solutions were so harsh, I could only swish for a few seconds. The Tea Tree Mouthwash is gentle, slightly minty and refreshing without harsh chemicals. Together with the Tea Tree tooth paste, my periodontal problems have all but disappeared! Excellent combination to use if you have gum issues."

"I was looking for an effective natural mouthwash that wasn't too drying or bad tasting and this product mostly delivers. The taste is not bad, in fact it's almost too sweet! It's still a little drying but then I'm very sensitive to that. I have developed some tooth sensitivity since using it but whether it was a diet change or the mouthwash not being as effective I'm not sure. Overall I would recommend it but don't expect to be blown away!"
