--S-A-- Homemade Toothpaste/Powders & Homeopathy

[Guest guest]

Hi Lisa,

 

Thanks for the question. Well, the easiest thing to say is, " if in

doubt, don't " . Then you know for sure there will be no problem, and

if your making the toothpaste yourself it is easy to control what

goes in and what stays out of your creation.

 

For me, myself and I, I have no problem with peppermint while using

a homeopathic remedy. I was once helping my homepathic teacher give

a lecture when he developed a sore throat. As a last resort, he put

the remedy into a glass of coke (we couldn't find any water) and

sipped it through out his lecture. The remedy worked perfectly.

 

On the same token, if the reference material- the materia medica

says absolutely no peppermint with that specific remedy, consider

that information was written by rather brilliant people, and then

the question becomes how much is the taste worth to you?

 

And if you make your own toothpaste, this could be a wonderful

opportunity to explore tastes like orange, cardamom, sage, lavender,

ginger, etc., but again- do your own research before ingesting any

essential oil.

 

And finally, the proof is in the pudding.. If you use peppermint

and you still notice the benefits of the homeopathic remedy- well

that says something.

 

Hope that helps...

 

Best Wishes,

Misty L. Trepke
