Reviews
Ivan. The peroxide helped me to stop severe bleeding. To do this, I turned two tubes out of the gauze bandage, soaked them in it and placed them in the nose. Bleeding stopped very quickly. Therefore, now I always keep a bottle with this liquid in my first -aid kit.
Olga. And I use this healing fluid to bleach tooths. To do this, I dilute the peroxide in the water and caress her mouth. The teeth are not only cleansed of plaque, but also become strong and beautiful. In addition, the gums are strengthened.
