Magic Mouthwash

Magic mouthwash is used to treat mouth sores, sore throat, cankersores, etc.  I recently recommended it to a coworker because her thoat hurt due to allergy season.  I had to explain it to her because she never heard of it before, and then I had to scour the internet to find the recipe.  Maybe it isn't as popular as I thought?

4 oz children's Benedryl
6 oz Maalox
.5 oz benzocain


Mix equal parts milk of magnesia and allergy liquid together in a medicine bottle. Add benzocain and enough water to make the mixture easy to shake.  I found a 16 ounce bottle worked wonderfully.  In large doses Maalox acts as a laxative, so do not drink more than 2 Tbs; just gargle and spit to coat your mouth with numbing goodness.
