Make your own tooth powder

It's my goal to make all our toiletries myself. What I once thought impossible, 

isn't that difficult at all! Over the past months I tried various recipes to make 

my own toothpaste or tooth powder.

I first tried baking soda, then baking soda with sea salt and coconut oil - which I liked a lot, but hubby got headaches from too much salt (he has high blood pressure).

So, I searched for an alternative and found many recipes on powders with calcium bentonite clay - which was great, since I already used the clay to wash and condition my hair and to do face masks!

We have used this powder now for several weeks and it works great - only remember not to brush your gums excessively with it, you might get soar! It's sand or mud!

Other than that, it works really good!

You will need:

2tbsp Baking Soda

3 tsp Stevia (baking aisle at Walmart)

1/2 tsp Essential oils: tea tree oil, mint or peppermint or spearmint oil

3 tsp Ground cloves (HEB $3)

8tbsp Calcium bentonite clay (I use the edible one;

you can find a variety on ebay - I bought mine 1 lb for $8 plus s/h)

Mix the ingredients well. You might use it as is or add coconut oil to make a paste.

You can also just use it as an enhancer together with your regular toothpaste.
