Re: Mixed up some tooth powder

[Guest guest]

I make my own as well. I really love it. I agree that

some of the ingredients are hard to powder, especially

the cloves. I made a baby food jar's worth almost a

year ago, and still have some left. I keep it in the

frost free freezer to keep moisture out of it. I never

thought of putting ceyanne in it. I can see how this

would help with bleeding gums. Any other benefits?

Peace, love, laughter

Not that I'm aware of. It just helps to bring more blood flow

into the area, that's my thought anyway. It was one of those

intuitive afterthought things thrown in. You folks got me wondering

how some tea tree or neem essential oil dropped in there would amp it

up. Hmmm.
