    Urine Mouthwash

    Bearman Cartoons Urine Mouthwash in Ancient Rome

    Yes friends urine luck, as I tell you the history of Urine Mouthwash.  Well back before the days of Listerine and Scope, people needed something powerful enough to cure the breath of a dragon.  Already used as a way to clean laundry someone must have said, “If it cleans my sheets, it has to do wonders on my teeth and breath”.

    But Ancient Romans being Romans didn’t just want their own fluids.  No they wanted to import the stuff from as far away as Portugal.  In fact it became such a profitable and popular item that Nero did what all governments like to do….he taxed it.

    I am sure you can find practitioners of the practice today still but I wasn’t adding that to my research.  You can find out for yourself.  haha
