Most toothpaste contains sugar, fluoride, artificial colors, and
other harmful ingredients that are best avoided. Instead of using the
toxic commercial varieties, why not make your own? It’s simple and
quick. Once you have the essential oils needed you can use them to make
the toothpaste or tooth powder, which more accurately describes it, for
years to come. Here’s how:
Natural Tooth Powder Recipe
½ cup baking soda
10 drops pure peppermint essential oil (this is not the same as
peppermint extract or fragrance oil. Also, it should be a high quality
food grade essential oil, which is available from many health food
stores)
5 drops pure myrrh essential oil (optional, also available in many health food stores)
Mix all ingredients in a small jar with a lid, cover, and shake well
to disperse oils throughout. Use a small amount on a damp toothbrush
the way you would use toothpaste.
The peppermint essential oil helps freshen breath, kill bacteria, and
clear sinuses. The myrrh oil is highly antibacterial and anti-fungal.
It is often used in the ancient healing arts of Ayurvedic Medicine.
The baking soda restores a natural, slightly alkaline pH balance to the
teeth and gums and helps to whiten teeth.
