29 Magical Uses of Oxygenated Water. Don't Miss # 23!
It was while looking for a trick to remove the yellow stains under the arms of shirts that I discovered hydrogen peroxide.
Then, I learned that it is also useful for cleaning the hobs, the kitchen and the bathroom.
Since then, I have been using a homemade, multi-purpose, hydrogen peroxide cleanser.
So I did extensive research on hydrogen peroxide. And that's when I realized how magical it is!
It can be used without danger, it is found everywhere, it is inexpensive and above all: IT REALLY WORKS!
Hydrogen peroxide: a natural product
Basically, hydrogen peroxide is water to which an oxygen atom has been added. This means it breaks down quickly and safely in water and oxygen.
Here is some interesting information about hydrogen peroxide:
- Oxygenated water is present in all living matter.
- Your white blood cells naturally produce oxygenated water. It is used to fight bacteria and infections that attack your body.
- Fruits and vegetables naturally produce oxygenated water. This is one of the reasons that fresh fruits and vegetables are good for you.
- Breast milk secreted in the first days after childbirth (colostrum) has a high oxygenated water content. This oxygenated water is transferred to the newborn and stimulates its immune system.
- There is also oxygenated water in rainwater. This is because rainwater receives an additional atom of ozone. Therefore, this water speeds up the growth of your plants.
