Natural Tooth Paste
Ingredients
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)
Method
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.
