Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Hi all, Does anyone here have a good recipe for a toothpaste or powder? One that is also safe for the kids to use. I would like to try and make some for the family. Thanks, Trang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Here is one that I use. I am not sure if it is okay for the whole family so you will have to check on that. 1/4 cup baking soda 1 tsp salt 1/2 oz tea tree oil few drops mint or clove oil mix well, be sure to brush your gums as well as your teeth.

I would like to try and make some for the family. Thanks, Trang HI, This recipe is from the book " Rosemary Gladstar's Herbs for natural beauty. I have been using this basic recipe for a number of years now. Like it very much. I sometimes change the eo's I add, but the basic recipe is the same. Basic tooth powder recipe 1/2 cup very fine white clay 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon non-aluminum baking soda (I use Arm & Hammer) 1 teaspoon myrrh powder a few drops anise seed oil(eo) pepperment or spearment eo Using a wire whisk, mix clay with sea salt, baking soda, and myrrh powder, add eo's. To the above I also add a few drops of tea tree eo and a little more myrrh powder, as I am a sweet tooth older baker. If you want something sweeter, you can add vegetable glycerin to above recipe to form a paste. Karleen . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Hehehee. That is exactly what I said when my friend gave me the recipe ) I forgot to mention that I onlly use half that amount when I make mine. He uses the full amount. Just depends on your preference. Also, make sure to rinse your mouth out very well after using and do not swallow any of the powder/paste. I rinse with peroxide. Hope that clears some things up ) Bree ========Christine Ziegler <chrisziggy wrote: Hey Shelley, Oooh weee - That sure does sound like a heckuvuh lot of Tea Tree Oil for that size recipe ...
