How To Make A Natural Toothpaste?

Lately, people’s interest in obtaining natural products has increased. The truth is that when you have the possibility of preparing your own products in a natural way, such as a toothpaste, you assume control over the elements that you apply to your body.

This can help you prevent problems such as skin irritations or ailments derived from how your body reacts to certain elements.

In this case, we want to offer you a simple and homemade recipe to make your own toothpaste that, in addition to being natural, is cheaper than the one you can buy.

How to make my own toothpaste?

We will give you 3 options to prepare your toothpaste. You can choose the one that best suits your preferences.

Baking soda and coconut toothpaste

For this recipe you need the following ingredients:

• 1. Coconut oil.
• 2. Baking soda.
• 3. Minced peppermint or cinnamon (to taste)
• 4. Edible mint essence. In this case, you can use approximately 20 drops of the essence. The amount varies depending on the flavor you want.

How do you do it?

First, you need to put all the elements in a container, except for the mint essence. You must add this little by little, until you find the desired point according to the flavor you want.

The paste should acquire a liquid appearance due to the effect of the coconut oil, which melts with the temperature.

Having your pasta in the state you want, we recommend keeping it in the refrigerator. This formula will allow you to enjoy not only fresh breath, but it will also offer you a pleasant flavor. In addition, you will have antibacterial agents, provided by coconut oil.

Herbal Infusion Toothpaste

To make this toothpaste you will need natural ingredients, such as:

• 1. Baking soda
• 2. Hydrogen peroxide (3% hydrogen peroxide)
• 3. Salt
• 4. Effusion of aromatic herbs (Sage, mint, thyme, stevia, lavender, spearmint) You can use one of these or several. That also depends on the flavor you want to give it (the essential herb is mint). Aromatic herbs will not only add flavor, but also provide their antiseptic properties.

How to do it?

It is very simple. First, mix 4 tablespoons of baking soda, 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide and a tablespoon of salt in a bowl. Stir very well until your mixture has a homogeneous appearance and a texture similar to that of pasta.

After having your mixture with these conditions, you can add the herbal infusion to your creation: they will give it a delicious and natural flavor and aroma.

Sea salt toothpaste

Now we are going to make a toothpaste using the benefits of sea salt. You will need the following items:

• 1. Water.
• 2. Sea salt.
• 3. Peppermint oil.
• 4. Baking soda.

How do you do it?

The procedure is even simpler than that of the previous pastes. Simply, you must mix all the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous mixture that has acquired the appearance of pasta. As you mix, you will know if you need more water. If so, add a little to it.

It is important that you take into account the following: it is not recommended that you use it every day, since it can cause damage to your tooth enamel.

The best use you can give it is to apply it once a week to achieve the particular objective of this paste: to offer a deep cleaning to your teeth.

NOTE:  If you wish, you can add natural ingredients to your pastes, such as essential tree, tea, peppermint or orange oil.

Remember…

The fact of making your own toothpaste based on medicinal plants and natural products is ensuring greater care in your oral cavity. It is also acting in a healthy way in your oral hygiene, relying on the antiseptic and even anti-inflammatory properties of some of the herbs you use.

In addition, with this you are preventing the toxic effects of certain artificial products, very often used in toothpastes.
