Make Your Own Toothpaste

I’ve been making my own toothpaste off and on for a few years now. It’s a fun process and I always feel so empowered afterward because I know what’s in it and know that all of the ingredients support my health.

One of the most important benefits of making your own toothpaste is avoiding fluoride. Fluoride has been known to cause cancer, weaken teeth and bones, and damages the nervous system.

Here are two easy recipes that you can make at home:
3 tbs. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 tbs. liquid glycerin
10-30 drop peppermint essential oil (optional)

This recipe is best used in warmer climates or weather since coconut oil hardens with cooler weather.
4 tbs. baking soda
4 tbs. coconut oil
10-30 drop peppermint essential oil (optional)

Enjoy!
