Are you tired of that slew of toothpastes on the supermarket shelves?
You know the ones that promise a lot of stuff and are overpriced?
As a result, you don't know which one to choose and you don't save money. How about making it yourself?
The ingredients I have chosen guarantee naturally perfectly clean and white teeth, fresh breath and strong gums.
I like the idea of knowing that I am using simple products and natural , containing the essentials, without superfluous and, above all, that do not cost more than necessary.
A toothpaste must effectively clean the teeth keeping them white. Here, my star product will be green clay. It is an essential health and beauty ally.
Green clay has many virtues. Regarding our trick, the most important thing is that it is remineralizing and that it naturally absorbs toxins and bad smells . Fresh breath is therefore guaranteed.
It naturally restores a neutral pH and she is healing . It is used to treat canker sores, so why not to make toothpaste?
Never put the clay in contact with metal, it will lose its properties.
The baking soda will reinforce the benefits of the clay by accentuating the whiteness side.
The clove, meanwhile, will bring its medicinal virtues anti-inflammatory and purifying that will complete the cleanliness and fresh breath effect of clay and bicarbonate.
Did you know that in 200 B.C. the Chinese already chewed cloves for the same reasons?
To make your awesome homemade toothpaste, you will need:
- 2 teaspoons of green clay
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cloves
1. Mix the green clay and baking soda well in a bowl.
2. Crush the cloves.
3. Add them to the mix.
4. Add water until you get a smooth paste.
5. Mix well.
There you go, you have made your homemade natural toothpaste :-)
It's quick and easy to do, isn't it?
If you wish, you can give this homemade toothpaste a little flavor by adding a few drops of lemon or tea tree essential oil.
I prefer it natural .
Store your toothpaste in an old, clean cosmetic cream jar or in an airtight plastic container.
It will keep as long than a normal toothpaste and will contain the same amount, approximately 75ml (which guarantees 8 weeks of brushing, 3 times a day).
