Hydrogen peroxide is an inorganic chemical compound composed

of 2 hydrogen and 2 oxygen atoms. It i s a strong oxidati ve agent

which enables its main use as disinfectant. Hydrogen peroxide

soluti on is a very powerful chemi cal for ki lli ng all kinds of germs,

including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Here are some of the most

common pract ical appli cations of hydrogen peroxide.

1. Wound Disinfection

Hydrogen peroxide is often used in medicine to disinfect open

wounds on the skin, such as cuts and lacerations before sti tchi ngand dressing. For this purpose, a 3% solut ion of hydrogen peroxide

is prepared. An int eresting thing about this ant iseptic is the abili ty

to create foam in contact wi th the enzyme called catalase. Catalase

is released f rom damaged cells, especial ly blood cells. Reappearing

of foam on almost healed wounds when treated with hydrogen

peroxide can be a sign of bacterial infecti on of the wound.

2. Making a Bath

Using hydrogen peroxide, you can make a detoxifying bath in order

to soak your body and remove harmful toxins from your sk in and

body. Add about 1li ter of 3% hydrogen peroxide to your bath wit h

warm water and spend at l east half an hour in the bath tub.

3. Curing Fungi on Your Feet

Fungal infecti ons oft en affect m oist regions such as tight spaces

between toes and feet in general. The signs can be skin peeling and

unusually bad odor of t he feet. Dissolve hydrogen peroxide in water

in 50:50 rat io and submerse your feet every evening before bed. It is

im portant t o keep your feet dry, in order to prevent reoccurrence of

the fungal infection.

4. Ear Wax Removal

Ear wax is also called cerumen and over t im e it can accumulate in

external audit ory canal and clot the passage of sound to the

tympani c membrane. In th is case, 3% hydrogen solut ion is

someti mes enough to dissolve the clot, but i n severe cases, water

jet propulsion device is used to get t he clot out of t he ear canal.

Aft er applying a few drops of hydrogen peroxide solut ion into the ear

canal, you wil l feel crackles in your ear which are caused by

dissolving of cerumen.

Unconventionally, people use hydrogen peroxide for other purposes,

such as teeth whit ening, enema, contact lenses cleansing, and hair

lightening.

Personal Care

5. Mouthwash

A lot of people do not know that hydrogen peroxide can make a very

effecti ve and inexpensive mouthwash. Take one capfu l (the lit t le

white cap that comes with the bott le) and hold in your mouth for 10

minutes every day, then spit it out. The result is t hat you will not

have canker sores and your t eeth wil l be whiter. You should ut il ize

3% H2O2 – add a dash of l iquid chlorophyll f or flavoring if desired.

6. Toothpaste

In order t o make paste you should use baking soda and 3% H2O2.

7. Toothbrush

Another way is t o dig your brush i n3% H2O2 and then brush. Soak

your toothbrush in Hydrogen peroxide to keep them free of germs.

8. Tooth Ache

Hydrogen peroxide is not a pain ki ller; notwithstanding, it is

powerful at t reat ing the pathogen that is creating the infection

because it is ant i-viral, antibacterial and anti -fungal agent . This

example is from my own personal experience: My dent ist wanted to

give me a root canal sometime prior as one tooth was inflamed and,according to her opinion it would di e. I felt some distress yet I told

her that I would give it opportunit y to heal. I washed wit h hydrogen

peroxide (a few t im es each day) as well as coconut oi l (once per

day). The discomfort went away and I have had no furt her issues

with t he tooth.

If you have an unpleasant toothache and cannot get t o a dent ist

im mediately, put a capful of 3% Hydrogen peroxide into your mouth

and hold i t f or 10 minutes a few times each day. The pain wil l

diminish greatly.

9. Tooth whitening

I have been using 3% hydrogen peroxide, and after some ti me my

teeth have become whit ened. Do not pay for professional whi tening

just use 3% hydrogen peroxide.

10. Douche

to twice a week to remove even chronic yeast infecti ons.

11. Colonic or enema

For a coloni c, add 1cup (8 ozs.) 3% H202 to 5 gallons warm water. For

enema, add 1tablespoon of 3% H202 to a quart of warm dist il led

water.

12. Hair lightening

Peroxide is a bleaching agent and it is ut il ized for lightened hair . You

should di lute 3% Hydrogen peroxide wit h water (50/50) and then

spray the solut ion on your wet hair after a shower and comb it

th rough. You wil l have natural h ighlights i f your hair is light brown

Directions:

It i s best to ut il ize two spray bott les instead of blending the

soluti ons together. Put straight vinegar in one and st raight

Hydrogen peroxide in t he other spray bott le. When you need to clean

a surface (cutting board, counters, sink, confines, toys, toilets,

floors, and so forth.) you should spray one mixture on the surface,then t he other. When the ingredients are mixed, for a short t im e the

chemical action of t he two will make an effective sanit izer. You can

rinse off the surface subsequent ly. This applies for k it chen sur faces

and also vegetable and food decontaminat ion.

16. Humidifiers/Steamers

To clear the air, use 1pint 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1gallon of water

in a hum idif ier or steamer.

17. Washing/laundry

You can li kewise add a cup of hydrogen peroxide rather than bleach

whit e. Likewise, when chlorinati ng clothes, they tend to wear out

faster –peroxide wil l not do that.

18. Laundry / Stain Removing

3% Hydrogen peroxide is a compelling stain uproot in t he event that

it is ut ili zed decently not long after a spill – despite the fact t hat

blood stains as old as 2 days have been effecti vely li ft ed wit h

Hydrogen Peroxide. In the event t hat a li t t le peroxide is poured onto

the stain i t will bubble up in the area of t he blood, because of a

reacti on with catalase. Aft er a couple of m inut es t he excess li quid

will be wiped up with a fabric or paper t owel and t he stain wil l be

gone.

3% H2O2 must be appli ed to clothing before blood stains can be

unintentionally “set” with warm water. Cold water and cleanser are

then used to remove the peroxide treated blood.

Note: Hydrogen peroxide will bleach or discolor many fabrics.

Food Preparatio

19. Food preparation/decontamination

A mixt ure of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide make cheap, viable and

non-poisonous disinfectant agent and is said to be more viable at

destroying pathogens than bleach. Because it is non-toxic, you canut ili ze it to cleanse cooking and food preparation areas. In tests that

were made at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University,

mat ching Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide mists, executes basical ly

all Salmonella, Shigella, or E. coli microbes on intensely

contaminated food and surfaces.

20. Vegetable soak

Use as a vegetable wash or soak to destroy microorganism s and

neutralize chemicals. You should add 1/ 4 container 3% H2O2 to a fu ll

sink of cold water. Soak li ght sk inned (light lettuce) 20 minutes,

th icker ski nned (like cucumbers) 30 minut es. Dry, dry and

refrigerate. It prolongs freshness.

In the event that t im e is an issue, you can spray vegetables (and
