DIY Natural Toothpaste

Toothpastes are gels, pastes, or powders that are used with a toothbrush to clean the teeth….. obviously right!? Most commercial toothpastes contain a variety of chemicals including detergents, mild abrasives, binding agents, fluoride, and flavor to ensure that the toothpaste foams wells, tastes good, removes surface stains, and strengthens teeth. Some has special additives to improve whitening power, and some have been known to cause canker sores or disrupt hormones. Others are potential carcinogens or even considered lethal (fluoride) if swallowed in acute doses.

 

Natural toothpastes can be purchased online or in stores, but not all these are as healthy as they pretend to be. The movement to make products at home using all natural ingredients is on the rise. Homemade toothpaste is easy to make, costs little, and cleans and whitens the teeth just as well as commercial toothpastes. Before buying your next tube of toothpaste, consider making this recipe instead.

 

Slowly melt 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil in a glass jar placed in a pan of warm water on the stove. Once melted, add 2 tablespoons of baking soda and stir until combined. Next, mix in 1 tablespoon of powdered xylitol and 15 drops of spearmint essential oil (good for eliminating pathogens in the mouth). Stir well and allow the mixture to solidify. The toothpaste is now ready to use.

 

**Only use certified pure essential oils. Anything that is applied topically or internally will be absorbed into the bloodstream.
