Hi Everyone, I know many people who come here to EC are looking for alternative mouth care. I have posted video of those in this field who are at the forefront on this issue. I would now like to give a recipe for Herbal Tooth Powder which I know would interest many here. It can be used instead of toothpaste.
- 1/4 cup of kaolin clay
- 1/4 cup of baking soda
- 1/4 cup of sea salt
- 1 Tbs. of sage
- 30 drops of spearmint essential oil (or peppermint, cinnamon, etc)
- 1 jar
In a container, mix together clay, baking soda and sea salt. Then grind the sage finely and mix in. (You could use a mortar and pestle. ) Finally, put in the essential oil. Mix together well and then put in your jar.
This will help prevent plaque buildup and promote healthy teeth. The sage helps whiten the teeth. Just wet your toothbrush and put on the tooth powder.
Enjoy! Lisa
