Reviews
Ivan. To me, peroxide helped to stop heavy bleeding. For this I rolled two tubes out of the gauze bandage, soaked them in it and put it in my nose. The bleeding stopped very quickly. Therefore now I always keep in my medicine cabinet a bottle with this liquid.
Olga. And I use this healing tooth whitening liquid. To do this, I dilute peroxide in water and caress her mouth. Teeth are not only cleared of plaque, but also become sturdy and beautiful. In addition, the gums are strengthened.
