Guest guest Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Here is the toothpaste recipe I use from my E book. 1/4 c calcium carbonate 1/4 c veg glycerin 1 ts myrrh powder [great for gums and peridontal disease] 4 drops clove oil or peppermint oil In Bowl, pour in glycerin, sprinkle on calcium carbonate, whisking or blending with stick blender till smooth and creamy, add myrrh and clove or peppermint oil, blend well, pour into container. You may have to adjust the glycerin lower to make a stiffer toothpaste. hth Sherry http://www.herbalsoap-healingcreams.com/ Natural Care E-books for Beginners to Intermediates. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Hi Sherry, Many thanks for the toothpaste recipe. I have a dumb question though. What does the ' c ' stand for ? is it ' cup ' ? I get sooo confused with abreviations. Thanks in advance......hugs, joey.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I just dump it all in there. Start with 4 T of VCO or so, then add at least 1 T of baking soda... probably more. Probably 1 tsp of salt. If you try it the first time and it's too oily feeling in your mouth, just add more salt or baking soda. If there is an actual recipe, I would be interested in it. I thought a mentioned something about mint oil or something.... Doug > > > > Hi Doug, > > Would you mind sharing your recipe for this?

I sprinkle in a little salt although I just talked to a dentist who said that's too abrasive for your teeth as are regular toothpastes. Stir it all real good several times while you let it cool - you may have to adjust ingredients to get the right consistency. Because I make my own skin care products I have a lot of essential oils and at times mix in peppermint, cinnamon, and or clove oil. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Oh yeah... I forgot that I add water too. And I just place the small container on top of the toaster oven after pressing the toaster function, and the oil melts within 10 minutes. Low heat that way. Maybe I'll do a little less salt...
